5 new capsules for 4 unique recording modes
The H2n has our best microphones and is the only portable recorder equipped with 5 capsules. Its design allows the H2n to offer 4 recording modes: Mid-Side (MS) stereo, 90 ° X / Y stereo, 2-channel & 4-channel surround.
Mid-Side Pickups
The first portable mid-side recorder. The H2n is the first portable recorder offering the possibility of recording in mid-side stereo, a technique used for many years in film production, where the atmosphere and the surrounding noises are decisive. Mid-Side recording combines a uni-directional mid mic that captures the sound in front of you with a bi-directional Side mic that picks up sound to your right and left. By increasing or decreasing the volume of the Side mic, you can control the depth of the stereo, giving incredible flexibility to your recordings. If you record in RAW mode, you can even check the stereo after recording.
X / Y pickups
The X / Y mics capture the stereo image with depth and precision. The 90 ° X / Y stereo condenser mics are set up on the same axis as the left and right mics. This specificity allows the microphones to be always at an equal distance from the captured source for perfect precision without phase effect. The result is an uncompromising stereo recording with natural depth and infallible precision.
Create incredible 360 ° surround recordings
By using the H2n's Mid-Side and X / Y mics together, you can create 360 ° surround recordings. Choose between 2-channel mode which combines Mid-Side and X / Y mics, and 4-channel mode, which records 2 separate stereo files, giving you more post-production possibilities. No matter what mode you use, you'll get a perfectly balanced surround recording.
