Zoom are entry level products. I doubt that upgrading will make much difference since many of the same internals are likely used in many models. If you want descent sound start with quality microphones, mixer and recorder.
Zoom Handy Recorder Series
Hope this is an appropriate section for this question.
I have owned for a few years a H1N Zoom Handy Recorder unit.
I am in a band and i like to record our practice sessions and gigs to help us improve.
I’ve been happy to a point but i am aware that this unit is entry level in the Handy Recorder series and the X/Y condenser mics on this model have a reputation for being noisy.
I decided to upgrade to the next model the H2N - but after trying the H2N out a few times it think the H1N gives me better results!
My question is is it worth me upgrading to the higher tier models in this range - the H4N Pro or the H5N?
I’m no expert on this and I am feeling burned after getting the H2N model and getting no improvement in the quality of the recordings over the original H1N whatsoever.
Any comments/advice appreciated.
Thanks.
