I’m new to this mic. Is the H4 a newer version than the H2? Will it be a great recoder for recording for an independent film? Thanks!

I hate the H4. Its very cheap in the build quality and the handling is a catastrophe.

@HigherrConsciousness Cool, that sounds like a cleaner solution. :)

@nickeax or switch it from the alkaline power setting

whats the frequency response on it??

bought one odf these used about a year and a half ago. the condensers are GREAT from recording live sound- even for a heavy metal band like mine. and the 4 tracking is easy! a very smart buy.

yes, there’s a software program for it somewhere..

Yup. :-)

can you use it to record directly into the computer? as a mic?

I believe that’s a Scottish accent he’s sportin’.

are you related to Grounds Keeper Willy?

so can you use these for homemade movies

If I left in running in my coat (unseen), would it pick up a high quality recording of me engaging in sexual intercourse with a paid professional?

This was brilliant, mate…you gave me a different perspective on this device…cheers!

The battery stunt was great!

what he said, plus you’ve got to take into account the H2 has 360 mics, whereas the H4 has directional mics. so it depends if you’re recording ambient music/sounds or from a single source

Hey thanks for posting this. Love your accent!

if you have to send it back to the factory be prepared for a very long wait, mine’s been gone over a month.
