Zoom Q2n-4K Handy Video Recorder

For musicians in the digital age, video is becoming an increasingly important part of building an audience. The Zoom Q2n-4k is designed to fill that exact need with its impressive audio-visual quality and portability.

Crisp and Clear Sound

At the end of the day sound is always going to be the most important thing. The Q2n-4K’s X/Y stereo microphones will capture your music with clarity and can handle sound levels up to 120 dB SPL (sound pressure level). From soft jazz guitar to high intensity rock drumming the Q2n-4K will be capture every detail.

4K Video

A major feature of Q2n-4K is, of course, the fact that it can record in resolutions up to 4K. But in addition to this you’ve got a 150-degree lens and 5 field of view settings so you can record just yourself or fit the entire band in the frame.

You can also take advantage of the Q2n-4K’s audio and visual quality by hooking up to your computer or iOS device (adapter/connection cables not included) and use it for live streaming giving your audience a live performance.

Stage lighting can be frustrating when you’re trying to record a performance. Changes in light can either under or over expose your shot, and no one wants to see that, even if it is in 4K. To start you off the Q2n-4K has 12 “scene” presets for lighting in different settings as well as an auto mode which detects the lighting and adjusts the balance. It also has HDR (high dynamic range) which automatically adjusts the exposure when the lighting changes.

Portability

Another thing that makes the Q2n-4k so appealing is its portability. Thanks to its small size you can carry it around with you and record a spontaneous busking session or you could attach it to your rig on stage (mounting accessories not included).
