We’re Tweaky About Audio(but you already knew that)
The Q4n’s built-in microphones can be instantly configured for either A/B or X/Y stereo recording. So what’s the difference?
A/B RecordingA/B is a great way to record vivid stereo that provides a realistic sense of space and ambienceideal when you want to capture the reverb of a concert hall. It’s also well-suited for situations where you want to record the sound of people talking in different parts of a room.
What is X/Y Recording?Glad you asked. X/Y stereo recording captures audio with natural depth and width, while still delivering a strong center image. It’s ideal for recording musical performances and for video blogging.
Fresh PerspectivesAttach the Q4n to your guitar with Zoom’s optional GHM-1 guitar headstock mount to get a close-up of your technique, or use the MSM-1 microphone stand mount to place one or more Q4ns around various areas of the stage and complete the experience. With its included adapter, the Q4n is compatible with all three-prong action camera mounts and accessories, providing limitless possibilities.
