Introduction / H4n Pro features
H4n Pro features
Introduction
• An all-in-one handy recorder.
The H4n Pro is lightweight (294 g) with a very compact design and is equipped
with high quality stereo condenser microphones arranged in an XY pickup
pattern, a built-in speaker, SD card recording, a mixer and internal effects.
You can enjoy recording and creating your own music anytime, anywhere with
the H4n Pro.
• Versatile eld recorder with multi-track capability.
The H4n Pro is capable of recording in several different operation modes.
STEREO mode enables high-quality stereo recording. 4CH mode can record 2
sound sources simultaneously in stereo. MTR mode allows playback of 4 tracks
and recording of 2 tracks simultaneously. You can use it as a eld recorder to
record melodies and band performances on-the-y and to capture sound effects.
You can also use it as a multitrack recorder to make songs by overdubbing instru-
ments and vocals. Furthermore, in STAMINA mode you can record in stereo for
up to 11 hours using batteries only.
• New 90/120°-variable XY stereo mic
The H4n Pro allows you to adjust the angle of the onboard microphones to address
a wider range of recording scenarios. Set the microphones to 120° for a wider area
of sound, or set them to 90° for a more focused sound source. Either way, the
mics retain their XY conguration, so you can record natural stereo sound with
no phase cancellation.
• Connect mics and guitars directly using combined XLR/
standard phone jacks
The H4n Pro includes input jacks for connections that can accommodate a variety
of recording styles. Microphones, including stereo mics and condensers, electric
guitars, basses and keyboards can all be connected directly.
• Use as an audio interface and SD card with a computer
An onboard USB 2.0 Hi-Speed port allows direct connection to a computer. You
can use it as an audio interface with built-in effects (sampling rate limited to 44.1
kHz when using the effects). You can also use the H4n Pro as an SD card reader
for your computer. You can transfer recorded les to your computer and use them
to create audio CDs or work with them in DAW software.
• Tuner, metronome, karaoke and various other functions
The tuner functions include not only a standard chromatic tuner, but also support
less common tunings, such as for 7-string guitars and 5-string basses. The metro-
nome function is convenient for practice and multitrack recording. You can also
use the H4n Pro as a practice device.
Use the SPEED function to adjust the playback speed from 50–150%. The
KARAOKE functions include center canceling for stereo les and variable key
control, making it valuable for language learning and voice training.

Safety precautions for users
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
In this manual, warning and caution symbols are used to
highlight dangers of accidents and troubles. Users should
read them to prevent accidents. The meanings of these sym-
bols are as follows:
If the users ignore this symbol and handle the de-
vice the wrong way, serious injury or death could
result.
If the users ignore this symbol and handle the de-
vice the wrong way, bodily injury and damage to
the equipment could result.
An action that is mandatory
An action that is prohibited
Please read through the following safety tips and precautions
to ensure hazard-free use of the H4n Pro.
Power requirements
AC adapter operation
Make sure to use only a DC5 center plus 1A
(ZOOM AD 14) AC adapter. The use of other
than the specied type could damage the unit
and pose a safety hazard.
Connect the AC adapter only to an AC outlet
that supplies the rated voltage required by the
adapter.
When disconnecting the AC adapter from the
AC outlet, make sure to grasp the adapter itself.
Never pull on the cable.
During lightning or when not using for an ex-
tended period, disconnect the AC adapter from
the AC outlet.
Battery operation
Use 2 commercially-available 1.5V AA batteries
(alkaline dry cell batteries or nickel metal hydride
batteries).
When not using for an extended period, remove
the batteries from the unit.
If battery leakage has occurred, wipe the battery
compartment and battery terminals carefully to
remove all remnant of battery uid.
When using the unit, the battery compartment
cover should be closed.
Install batteries with the correct +/− orientations.
Do not use new and old batteries together. Do
not use batteries of dierent brands or types
together.
Environment
To prevent unexpected troubles and malfunc-
tions, avoid using the H4n Pro in environments
where it will be exposed to:
• Extreme temperatures
• Heat sources such as radiators or stoves
• High humidity or moisture
• Excessive dust or sand
• Excessive vibration or shock
Handling
The H4n Pro is a precision instrument. Do not
exert undue pressure on the keys and other
controls. Take care not to drop or bump it, and
do not subject it to shock or excessive pressure,
which can cause serious trouble.
Take care that no foreign objects (coins, pins,
etc.) or liquids (water, alcoholic drinks or juice)
enter the unit.
Do not place the H4n Pro speaker close to other
precision instruments (watches and computers),
electronic medical instruments or magnetic cards.
Connecting cables and input and output jacks
You should always turn o the power to the H4n Pro
and all other equipment before connecting or discon-
necting any cables. Make sure to disconnect all con-
nection cables and the power cord before moving
the H4n Pro.
Alterations
Never open the case of the H4n Pro or attempt
to modify the product in any way since this
could result in damage to the unit.
Volume
Do not use the H4n Pro at a loud volume for
a long time since this could cause hearing im-
pairment.
USAGE PRECAUTIONS
Electrical interference
For safety considerations, the H4n Pro has been designed
to provide maximum protection against the emission of elec-
tromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and protection
from external interference. However, equipment that is very
susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electro-
magnetic waves should not be placed near the H4n Pro, as
the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.
With any type of digital control device, the H4n Pro included,
electromagnetic interference could cause malfunction and
could corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to mini-
mize the risk of damage.
Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the H4n Pro. If necessary,
slightly moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax,
or solvents (such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since
these may dull the nish or damage the surface.
Breakdown and malfunction
If the unit becomes broken or malfunctions, immediately dis-
connect the AC adapter, turn the power o and disconnect
other cables. Contact the store where you bought the unit or
ZOOM service with the following information: product mod-
el, serial number and specic symptoms of breakdown or
malfunction, along with your name, address and telephone
number.
Please keep this manual in a convenient
place for future reference.

High quality microphones in an XY
pattern ensure a natural stereo image
when recording sounds.
Stereo recording is often done by placing two micro-
phones in a V-shaped conguration. Pointing microphones
outward will result in stereo separation, but the recording
will lack denition around the center, resulting in a poor
stereo image.
The H4n Pro utilizes an XY stereo mic conguration. By
placing two microphones in a crossed pattern (opposite
angles), the H4n Pro can cover a wide area and capture
sound sources in the center with clarity and denition.
Sounds reach both mics simultaneously, so no phase
cancellation occurs between right and left channels.

Mode overview
7-1 Mode overview
Mode overview
The H4n Pro has four operation modes: STEREO, STAMINA, 4CH (4-channel) and MTR (multitrack).
Choose the mode according to your need.
• STEREO mode
You can easily create a stereo recording
using the built-in microphones or an
external microphone.
The STEREO mode is convenient for
recording live band performances,
acoustic instruments, voices, lectures,
and subtle soundscapes. You can then
use it to play stereo WAV and MP3
les.
• STAMINA mode
This mode enables longer battery life.
STAMINA mode is similar to STEREO
mode, but has less functions.
The continuous usage time with alkaline
batteries is approximately 11 hours (but
could be less depending on usage).
When in STAMINA mode, the H4n
Pro can only record/playback in WAV
44.1kHz/16-bit and MP3 formats.
To enable STAMINA
mode when using batteries,
set the STAMINA switch
before turning the power on.

NOTE:
How to use WAV and MP3 format
• WAV les with no compression are used for
high-quality sound recording. Since data is not
compressed, les are larger than MP3 les.
• MP3 les have lower sound quality because of
data compression, but are useful to save SD card
capacity and record more.
HINT:
Types of WAV les
44.1/48/96 kHz indicates the sampling rate of the
analog-to-digital conversion. 16/24-bit indicates the
bit depth of the analog-to-digital conversion.
The larger the number, the higher the sound
quality,and the larger the le size.
WAV les recorded in STEREO/4CH/STAMINA mode
comply with BWF (Broadcast Wave Format) and
include marks and creation dates.
Types of MP3 les
Select the bit rate, which is the amount of data per
second. The higher the number, the lower the rate of
compression and the better the sound quality. MP3
les that are more compressed occupy less space on
SD cards.
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) means the bit rate is automati-
cally adjusted based on the input information.

NOTE
MS stereo format overview
This technique converts input from a directional mid mic, which
captures sound in the center, and a bidirectional side mic, which
captures sounds from the left and right, to stereo. You can change
the stereo width as you like by adjusting the side mic level.
Since this technique can capture a wide stereo image, it is
ideal for recording large open spaces with numerous sound
sources, including orchestras, live concerts and soundscapes.
This technique is also extremely eective when you want to
adjust room ambience. Since it oers a high degree of freedom,
it is used not only for studio recording but also for a wide range
of recording—even of rehearsals and live performances.
SIDE LEVEL SOURCE CH SETTING
Set the level of the bidirectional SIDE mic,
which is perpendicular to the MID mic.
Setting values: MUTE, −48.0 – +12.0dB
Default: +0.0dB
Set the input used (only in 4CH mode). Assign the MID and SIDE inputs to the left
(INPUT 1) and right (INPUT 2) channels.
NOTE:
You cannot use this function

Troubleshooting
IfyouthinkthattheH4nProisoperatingstrangely,checkthefollowingitemsrst.
Recording/playback trouble
◆ There is no sound or output is very quiet
•
Check the connections to your monitoring system and its volume setting.
•
Conrm that the volume levels of tracks 1–4 are not too low.
◆ Recorder stops during playback
• If playback is started when a track is in recording standby, a temporary le is
created on the H4n Pro. If the remaining capacity of the SD card is low, the
temporary le may use all the remaining space, causing playback to stop. In this
case, end recording standby of the track.
◆ Sound from connected instruments cannot be heard or
is very quiet
• Check the input source settings. (→ P045)
• Conrm that the recording level settings are suitable. (→ P045)
• If INPUT 1 or 2 jacks are used, raise the output level of the connected device.
• When the monitor function (→ P070) is off, an input signal can only be moni-
tored if its track is set to recording standby or if the recorder is in recording
standby.
◆ Cannot record on a track
• Conrm that the REC button and that TRACK button are lit red.
• If a project is protected, recording is not possible. Use another project or turn
protection off. (→ P125)
• Conrm that an SD card is loaded in the slot.
• Conrm that the hold function is not activated. (→ P018)
• If “Card Protected!” appears on the display, the SD card write-protection is
enabled. Slide the write-protection switch on the SD card to disable write-
protection.
◆ Cannot bounce
• Conrm that the volume levels of tracks 1–4 are not too low.
• Conrm that the SD card has enough open space.
Other trouble
◆ Cannot use eects
• Conrm that the effects are on. Effects are off in MTR mode by default.
◆ Cannot use tuner
• Conrm that the jack to which the instrument is connected is selected as the
input source.
◆ Computer does not recognize it even though it is con-
nected to a USB port
• Conrm that the operating system is compatible. (→ P033)
• The operation mode must be set on the H4n Pro to allow the computer to rec-
ognize it. (→ P031)
