I've had this nifty unit since December 1, 2016. Its way better than my old Tascam DR-05. I am now going through my old analog recordings on cassette tape and digitizing them with the h4n pro. All you do is run an audio cable from my stereo systems headphone jack to the Zoom input jack for external stereo mic on the bottom. Sounds crystal clear with the H4N pro!

Thank you so much for this video! I bought my H4n nearly ten years ago and stuffed it in a drawer, I've finally got it out to start recording the sound of the trees near where I live and of course have lost all the documentation; your video got me back up to speed so quickly! Thank you :)

I heavily appreciate this. I'm going to be audio tech on a set next week and I've never even used one of these. Thank you!

Thank you for the instructional video, it is very helpful. I am waiting for the H4N to arrive in the post. My intention is to record birdsong near where I live. I have also ordered a Senheisser K6 & ME66 to go with it.

[FergbyFive]

Brilliant! Thank you. I was a bit spooked when my Zoom arrived. Your video helped heaps. Easy when you know how! :)

[whisperflower]

Thank you so much these videos! I just bought this mic and have no idea how to use it.
