(The H2 is a smaller version of the H4, which made a guest appearance of sorts on Morning Edition this week.) Mark Nelson didn’t manage to make this his fifth portable flash recorder review in Hawaii, but he made up for it in depth. His review of the Zoom H2 is almost 5,000 words and contains surround-sound links galore as well as some nifty audio examples.

Why does it sound dirty when I write it like that? I had originally planned to include some sound of you and Joey talking but there was too much noise from the fans in that room for it to work. FYI, the battery pack has made my Zoom 100x more useful, but it's still a bit finicky when it comes to things like handling noise and the inability to make track marks without stopping the recording. I'm seriously considering getting a Fostex FR2-LE, but I'll definitely keep the H4 as a backup and for travel. I'm taking a trip this week and it's going with me to act as a field recorder/audio interface for my laptop. Actually, the ambi in the beginning was taken from the folks working in the bedroom.
