Some notes on the Zoom H4n Recorder

Thrown together by David Tamés,

The Zoom H4n (which you can check our from the Media Studio) along with an external stereo mic like

the AT BP4029 MS stereo microphone makes a versatile kit for dialogue, sound eﬀects, and ambient

sound recording. See my Audio-Technica BP4029 MS Stereo Mic handout and the Zoom H4n manual

(both are available as PDFs in Course Materials => Handouts in Blackboard for more information.
