I have two devices of this type. Thank you for an interesting and useful explanation

should i use balanced or unbalanced rca cables?

Wow! Compre esta camara por $5 dlls. La pantalla no sirve, pero gracias a este video pude programar el modo de video y grabo muy bien... 😁 Que chido empezar el 2024 con esta buena oferta. 😂🤣

Wow, thank you so much for this video! I’ve had my zoom recorder for the longest and I can never figure out how I can use it as a boom operator. You’ve explained this very clearly and now I am able to use this during my movie sets. Thank you so much!

? I have used the H4n via xlr for years without problem without using your adaptors

Do you know why, when recording with a wireless Sennheiser Lav Mic plugged into the left (Ch 1) XLR jack, in Stereo Mode, does it record with a left bias? I don't want to record in 4CH (where there is a mixer) because it activates the onboard Microphone Array. I don't want or need it for what I'm trying to do. I want my monologues to sound like they're coming from the middle of the sound field, not the Left.

I am using Saramonic XLR wireless mics. So the receiver runs on two AA batteries. Confused what inputs to select. Plug in on-off and Phantom Power Y/N?

Would -30db also do the trick or is -50dba really necesarry with the H4n Pro?

Thank you so much 😊

You don't need Attenuators, just read your manual properly.

Great product!!!!

thanks!

Yep I can attest to the phantom power running down the batteries quickly. By the way 4:34 most ifnot ALL of your mics will work very happily with 24volts.everyone always thinks it must be 48 but thats a myth. The only mics I can think of that actually would need a 48V power supply are thos big Nuemann mics you see in big studios and pop videos. A LAv mic only needs a couple of volts something like 2.5v. So forget about 48v and save your batteries.

So I assume this is where they have improved with the zoom h4N pro?

Good explanation

Great Video! How many Db should the attenuator be?

Why don't you use the cable to connect directly to The Line Input of H4n? For example, RCA to TS cable. Why do you have to connect to Mic Input?

You forgot HOW to get into the settings in the first place.

Thanks, dude.

Is it possible to monitor audio as it's recording? Could I put in my headphones to listen or not until after it's saved?

I'm plugin in my new NTG4+ and only one speaker is working... If I'll plug in to 1slot left side is working and under slot 2 right one is working... Do I need a cable with 2 XLR connection on that Zoom recorder side??

Please, what is the device the Zoom H4n is linked to ? [Zoom H4n] <=============>[??????]. Can it be a video recorder ?

I'm not clear on why 1/2 link has to be off?

What’s the name of the device please?

I'm noticing some line noise with my inputs plugged into the Zoom BEFORE it's plugged into the source. Not sure what this noise could be coming from since it's not plugged into anything. It's set to the 1 and 2 input and the noise level gets louder as I turn up the recording level. When I plug the cable into the source it seems to record as expected but likely with the noise floor. Any ideas what might be going on? Thanks!

Great tutorial to refresh your memory on this iconic device

czcams.com/video/NuGdVw69lw4/video.html

seems as though the solution to this guys problem was he needed to use a xlr to trs cable which plugs into the line in of the zoom (which is the big hole) i hope got that right i just appreciate every ones feed back, it's so great when we can communicate like this with out tearing each outer down ✌️

Old video - but I was looking for advice regarding the additional mic input around the back... anyway, with regards to these inputs on the bottom, you have it completely wrong and should just use the jack inputs. Yes those plugs at the bottom are combi plugs. Use XLR for mic, and jack / trs for the line input. Duh :)

Roughly how many hours do you get out of the 9v battery in the transmitter?

Do you know if I can plug a TRS into the zoom?

how do you get mono output from one xlr mic?

What is the line input

very helpful video thanks, now all the three digit nonsense makes sense. thank you :)

Thanks,this is the only useful video on CZcams explaining how to use mic levels

DO NOT FOLLOW THE ADVICE IN THIS VIDEO! This tutorial is absurd. Why would you plug a line level source into a mic input and then use inline pads to bring it back down to mic level? Don't do this. Use the line level TRS input on the Zoom instead.

The video and comments helped, I'm doing live and went 1/4 trs out mixer to XLR in zoom, I'm going to try 1/4 inch in zoom not xlr?

There is no balanced line level input, as people are assuming. The XLR input is mic level, but the unbalanced TS (not balanced TRS) is instrument level, not line level. It is for sources like electric guitars and synthesizers. Instrument level is between mic and line level. The specs in the manual make it difficult to follow because they're not written in a standard way. Depending on your gain-staging, you may need a pad to send line level into the TS instrument level inputs. I use a pad when properly gain-staging my audio to feed the H4n. Another issue with levels that should be addressed is that you should not go below 1 on the inputs (as in the video). This is digital gain reduction, and does nothing to reduce the actual gain.

Thanks!!

losers

Hello, could you tell me why my h4n zoom is recording on the input channels and getting with echo?

Great video and it was very helpful.

Sorry, but I didn’t see you use a wireless mic anywhere here? Did I miss something.

Thank you for the help!

i really dont get all this.it should be the same answer but its not whats the deal?ive seen trs go in the back of the zoom mic jack to 1/4 trs in to the headphone in the mixer .then these linelevel buffers to reduce it.whats the right way/

Thank you, great video.

Perfecttt thank you very much!!!

My instruction manual was in French, so this helped me so much.

man, your left thumb looks freaky.
