Making Input Settings And Monitoring Adjustments - Zoom H4essential Operation Manual

Making input settings and monitoring adjustments

When using the H4essential as an audio interface, input settings and monitoring adjustments can be made
in the same way as when using it as a recorder.
See the references below and make input settings and monitoring adjustments.

Select inputs from MIC (built-in XY mic) and inputs 1–2.
Input from the built-in XY mic can be mixed to a single
channel and handled as mono audio.
Make this setting when a mic that is compatible with plug-in
power is connected to the MIC/LINE IN jack.
Inputs 1 and 2 support phantom power and can provide +48
V. Turn on phantom power when condenser mics that require
it are connected.
This can be turned on/off separately for each input.
Low frequencies can be cut to reduce the sound of wind and
vocal pop noises, for example.
This can be set separately for each input.
Using stereo-linking, input signals can also be handled as
stereo audio.
When the stereo setting is used, input 1 will become the left
channel and input 2 will become the right channel.
When the mid-side stereo setting is used, input 1 will become
the Mid signal and input 2 will become the Side signal. Mid
captures sound front and center while Side captures sound
left and right. The stereo width can be changed by adjusting
the Side level.
The side level of inputs set to mid-side stereo can be set
before recording, allowing the stereo width of that input
sound to be adjusted.
Use headphones, for example, to monitor input sounds and
adjust the volume.
On the Mixer Screen, the monitoring balance of all input
sounds can be adjusted. Moreover, the volumes of the input
sounds and their stereo mix signal can be checked with the
level meters.
