Hi everyone, this is John from Zoom and I'm here to introduce you to our Q2n handy video recorder.
The Zoom Q2n gives you a fast and easy way to create HD videos with high-impact audio.
The Zoom Q2n is small enough to carry anywhere, and its intuitive controls, simple one-button recording, and analog-style level control mean you’re always prepared to record impromptu performances or new ideas. The Q2n can be powered by two standard AA batteries, AC adapter, or you can connect an external power bank providing more than enough juice for concerts, rehearsals, jam sessions, and more.
The built-in X/Y microphones capture sound with beautiful stereo imaging, and are capable of handling sound levels up to 120 dB SPL. This means you can record loud concerts without any distortion. The Q2n also features a stereo ⅛” line input, making it perfect for most recording situations.
A 160-degree wide-angle lens helps you capture the whole shot while keeping the microphones close to the sound source. The Q2n excels in an array of lighting environments—whether you’re filming at home, in a rehearsal space, or at a club. The Q2n records in 720p or 1080p HD resolution in 24 fps or 30 fps, the standard frame rates used in film. With its five field of view settings, you can capture the full band or focus on an individual performer. Plus, a color LCD screen makes it easy to create the perfect shot or review your videos.
To view your video recording in high definition, you can connect to an HDMI TV using the micro HDMI output. A USB port allows for connection to any computer or iOS device so you can use the Q2n as a web camera for live streaming with software such as Open Broadcaster Software. It can also be used as a USB microphone for podcasts, or as a card reader to transfer recordings.
Ten "Scene" presets allow you to record in a wide range of environments, including low-light locations where the Q2n is designed to thrive. The presets range from "Concert Light"—which automatically adjusts for changing lighting conditions—to "Concert Lo-Lit" for dimly lit rooms. And there are scene settings tailored specifically for filming in jazz clubs and rehearsal studios, as well as outdoors.
The Q2n features Auto Gain functionality to automatically control input level, as well as a low-cut filter to eliminate low frequency noise and rumble. The Q2n is also capable of recording audio only, in WAV formats up to 24-bit/96kHz. Simply use the ‘Camera Off’ setting to capture demos or live performances in stereo sound using the built-in X/Y mics.
You can maximize your recording experience with two Q2n accessory packs. The LHQ-2n accessory pack includes a lens cover and lens hood to block unwanted light or glare from your shots.
The APQ-2n accessory pack offers a lens cover and lens hood, as well as a hairy windscreen for recording crystal clear sound in any environment. There's also a tripod to mic stand adapter which doubles as a convenient handle so you can record more easily when you're on the move. A tripod to three-prong action camera mount adapter lets you attach your Q2n to poles, handles, and other places to achieve a variety of shots and angles.
The included USB cable makes connection to a computer or iPad simple. And the padded shell case help prevent wear and tear on the Q2n.
With the Q2n in hand, you can finally make videos that sound as great as they look.
