Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing a ZOOM
Handy Recorder.
The features of the
include the following.
• Four-channel recording captures sound in 360°
The built in microphones are divided into mid-side (MS) mics on the rear side
and XY mics on the front side. This independent placement allows you to record
sound coming from every direction. This unrestricted range means you can
record diverse sound sources in all kinds of conditions.
• New microphone array allows control of stereo width
The MS mic includes a directional mid mic that covers the front and a
bidirectional side mic that covers both sides. By controlling the amount of side
mic signal, you can freely adjust the stereo width of recordings.
• Stereo recording is clear and three-dimensional
Using the XY mic, you can realize three-dimensional stereo recordings that
faithfully capture a sense of depth.
• Uninterrupted long recordings possible at high-quality
Recording is possible without interruption for very long times. You can even fi ll
an entire 32GB SDHC card in one session!
• Runs for a long time on standard batteries
You can record for up to 20 hours (44.1kHz/16bit WAV format) with one set of
alkaline batteries. So, even in situations where you must rely on batteries, you
can keep recording without worrying about the time.
• Use as an SD card reader and computer audio interface
The built-in USB 2.0 high-speed port allows direct connection with a computer.
Use the recorder as an SD card reader with a computer to transfer recordings to
your computer for use in DAW software or to burn them to CDs. You can even
use the recorder as a computer audio interface at USB 1.0 speed.
• Tuner, metronome and other practice features
In addition to standard chromatic tuning, the tuner also supports seven-string
guitar, five-string bass and alternate tunings. The convenient metronome can
even provide a count in and the speed and pitch of playback can be adjusted,
making it a useful practice companion.
Please read this manual carefully to fully understand the
so that
you can maximize your use of its features. After reading the manual once,
please keep it with the warranty in a safe place.

Handy Recorder
Recording mode overview
The
has four recording modes that can be selected according to your
purposes.
Mid-side (MS) stereo mode
This mode uses a mid mic to capture the sound
directly ahead and a bidirectional side mic to
capture sound from left and right.
The recording level of the side mic (S level) can
be adjusted, allowing the stereo width to be
changed. If you record with the S level set to
MS-RAW, you can also adjust the S level after
recording.
MS mics can capture a rich stereo image, so it is ideal for recording sounds in
wide and open conditions, including orchestras, live concerts and soundscapes.
XY stereo mode
This mode records in stereo with mics at 90º angles.
This allows a natural, deep and accurate sound image
to be captured, making it optimal for recording sources
nearby, including solo performances, chamber music,
interviews, live rehearsals and fi eld recordings.
2ch and 4ch surround modes
Sound can be captured in all directions using
both MS and XY mics.
You can select 2ch, which mixes the signals
from the MS and XY mics, or 4ch, which records
the signals from the MS and XY mics separately.
With 4ch surround, you can adjust the balance
between the MS and XY signals after recording.
The S level can be adjusted for both 2ch and 4ch
recordings.
These modes are suitable for recording live
rehearsals, studio sessions, business meetings and soundscapes, for example.
