Does zoom h4npro give better sound of the record from mixer with aurolevel or zom h5 with limiter?

[@lightpoint-english]

Hi, I think I have not understood your question, but H5 and H4nPro have the same pre-amps so basically same quality given the same input

[@nellovesnelly8112]

@@lightpoint-english thank you, I mean singer needs to record sound from mixer with zoom, h4 pro has autolevel, but h5 has limiter, and no autolevel. We are choosing wich one eill be the best

[@lightpoint-english]

The singer is using another mic to sing and the zoom is used only to record through the mixer output that goes into zoom line in? Also the zoom h5 has a limiter/compressor (a software one) but to prevent clipping just set to volume below the peak: using a limiter to manage excessive volume setup distorts the sound, it's not the best solution. You can then fix the volume in post production.

Hi! H6 is a good upgrade over H5?

[@lightpoint-english]

Hi, it depends on your needs: the H5 is lighter and smaller and some tests shown better quality for the internal stereo mic, while the H6 provides 4 inputs for external mics vs 2 in the H5 and has a better LCD. Preamp quality is the same.
