These are special features of the H4n's built-in microphones.
S t e r e o r e c o r d i n g i s o f t e n d o n e b y p l a c i n g t w o
microphones in a V shape. Pointing microphones outward
will result in stereo separation, however the recording
will lack defintion around the center position, resulting in
a poor stereo image.
The H4n utilizes an X Y stereo mic configuration. By
placing two microphones in a crossed pattern (opposing
angles), the H4n can cover a wide area and capture sound
sources in the center with clarity and definition. Sounds
reach both mics simultaneously, and therefore no phase
cancellation occurs between right and left channels.
