The days for my H2 might be numbered! I love that thing but it has two flaws...

First is no attenuation of the line in signal, so you need an external volume control
or it will clip (most boards can't control their RCA outs without lowering the channel gains)
and the other is, although it will do four channel recording, it can't record the line ins
and a mike pair at the same time, what you usually need to do a good live recording including the board mix and out front.

I love the pre-record feature, too, along with the remote. No more missed starts!

Shame it's so big, though... and I would go myopic trying to use this as a four track studio recorder!

Use the right tool for the right job, I say!

Zoom just raised the bar...
