INTERCUT MAGAZINE PREVIEW: THE ZOOM H2 HANDY RECORDER

 Kevin D. Paige, Sr. is a Freshi teacher and muscian, and has had the opportunity to experiment with the Zoom H2 Handy Recorder:

The Zoom H2 Handy Recorder is basically a studio condenser quality microphone made hand held. The quality of the mic is outstanding. I got a chance to play with it before implementing into my film classes. The H2 has four built in mics and up to four channels of simultaneous recording capability. The front mic records in a 90o radius and the rear mic at 120o. All mics, when activated at once, create surround recording. You can record in wav. form or mp3, store in individual folders, and save on an SD card.  The H2 has line inputs and outputs for audio monitoring, as well as a small LCD screen for visual monitoring. When I brought the H2 to class, my students thought it was the coolest thing. They really loved that you can mount it to a flow-pod or uni-pod to use as a boom pole. It was very easy to export files and import them into any video editing or music editing program. Bottom line, I would recommend the H2 Handy Recorder.  It’s very affordable and you will not be disappointed.
