Zoom Q2n Handy HD Video and 4-Track Audio Recorder
If you're an aspiring musician, video plays an important role in helping you reach a wider fan base. It's a digital world and that means an inspiring performance can take the Internet by storm. But you can't capture your music with just any camera. You need one that records incredible audio. The Zoom Q2n gives you a fast and easy way to create HD videos with high-impact audio. The built-in X/Y microphones capture sound with beautiful stereo imaging. And the 160° wide-angle lens excels in an array of lighting conditions - whether you're filming at home, in a rehearsal space, or at a club. With the Q2n in hand, you can finally make videos that sound as great as they look - at a price more affordable than ever.
As the camera for musicians, the Q2n gives legends the ability to get up close and personal with his fans. The Q2n's audio and video quality make it simple for them to capture the essence of his performances so fans can enjoy them time and time again.
High-resolution 24-bit/96 kHz audio delivers studio-quality recording, no matter where you're filming. And the camera's built-in X/Y microphones can handle sound pressure levels up to 120 dB SPL, for distortion-free recording. Since the Q2n can handle high sound pressure levels, it records loud music without distortion or clipping. Famed drummer Dave Weckl relies on his Q2n to capture full and beautifully balanced snare, bass, tom, and cymbal detail.
Ten "scene" presets allow you to record in a wide range of environments, including low-light locations where the Q2n is designed to thrive. The presets range from "concert light"—which automatically adjusts for changing lighting conditions—to "concert lo-lit" for dimly lit rooms. And there are scene settings tailored specifically for filming in jazz clubs and rehearsal studios, as well as outdoors.
The Q2n is small enough to carry anywhere, so you'll always be prepared to capture impromptu performances or record new ideas. It records up to two hours of footage on two standard AA batteries, providing more than enough juice for concerts, rehearsals, jam sessions, and more.
The Q2n is also capable of recording audio only. Simply use the ‘Camera Off' setting to capture demos or live performances in stereo sound using the built-in X/Y mics.
