Very nice review indeed. I have get this upgrade to my H2n, which I bought in about 2016. After a few knocks, it's got stuck in spatial which doesn't really bother me, because it sounds great. Simpler settings will allow me to keep my hair on.
Yes, immersive nature of the rain and traffic when the all mics are on was clear. Good idea for a spatial audio project. Recording in a field of chirping crickets isn't available to me now. The H2e is a mid-side mic when the side mic (figure-8, I think) and just the front or back mic is on. It sounds like adding the other mic either enables some other technical ability (near ambisonic), or just the reverb/sound reflections from another side gives more dimensional information, we can hear the cars going by from left-to-right both in front of us and behind. Either way, I was really amazed. I recently got the Zoom MSH-6 mid-side mic capsule (on H8) and a VR-H3 (standalone 4-mic ambisonic array), and I've been looking for good experiences to record. Now I have another target. Thank you.
The reflection off my house was definitely affected the sound. It's unpleasantly strong when traffic drives by. This effect happens when recording instruments in a small studio or room in a more pleasant and less drastic way. But it definitely adds a subtle ambisonic sound.
You are the best I was waiting for videos before purchase, definitely on my wishlist but this video will determine if I buy it or not, thanks so much for your review
The more I use this unit the more impressed I am with it. It is definitely the most handy and easy zoom recorder I've used for recording. It isn't as versatile as my H5, but it has much lower self noise. The plug-in makes adjusting the stereo image in post a breeze. Moreover, the H2e via USB has now replaced my much larger desktop microphone setup.
@@artoflife4569 Is there any way that you could send me a test for me to see if it work for my workflow? Algo I want to open a youtube channel, would you asisst me on the naming? Of course paid work
@ Wow. Honest too. Mine has shipped. With a dead cat.. and the BT dongle. I’ve seen the predecessor in action. But the BT and post recording editing in the app will simplify my creative process. I am on the spectrum and switching between the different hats doesn’t work. Hopefully this will work with the GoPro. One way or another. I grew up 8Tracks and cords. What’s one more? You do good work and you got a subscription and a thumbs up. Thanks for the reply. And the honesty. The grind is appreciated.
The device only records in 32 bit float. Sample rate is immaterial. Although it has 32 bit float a/d conversion, that won't help if the mics and / or preamps are overloaded and clipping. The device has a relatively low maximum level that it can handle, 120 dB SPL, so you might have to keep it at a safe distance from the symphonic brass. But there's only one way to find out and that is to try it! I hope you will be able to let us know how it goes in due course.
Love that recording!! Total ear candy! 🍬 Ok .. just ordered one! This will be fun to use! Cheers ❤
Great review, thank you! Mine will be here in 2 days
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks.
Wonderful video! Thank you for the informative review.

I’m listening on B&O H9s and almost looked for traffic around 12 minutes. Good job.
I was only listening on my TV speakers and it's still insane
Thanks, but it wasn't me.The performance/value/size/ease ratio is exceptional. I can't wait to get it into an amphitheater- or at garage band gig!

@@Ozpeter i’m waiting to see how it handles motorbikes, tuck tucks, gunfire and jet boats. I I I live in Asia and Idaho.
It would depend ofn the distance- all else being equal. But the dynamic range of your mic will likely be your weakest link when recording 32 bit.
I like the backdrop canvas on your sound test, where did you get it? or is it on your editing software?
Does it record audio from phone calls?
It does not have mix minus - if that is what you mean.
How may I get in touch with you
What's up?
