FAQ

• Q: Does it work with low-gain dynamic mics?
  A: Yes. The preamps provide up to 70 dB of gain for dynamic mics that need a lot of gain, and +48V phantom power is available for condenser mics too.
• Q: Can I interview guests by phone?
  A: Yes. Connect a smartphone via the TRRS jack and the Mix-Minus function removes the guest's voice from the return feed, so they don't hear their own echo. You can also connect wirelessly with the Zoom BTA-2 Bluetooth adapter (sold separately).
• Q: Can it be used as an audio interface for live streaming?
  A: Yes. Connect via USB-C to a computer or iOS device as a 2-in/2-out interface for live streaming and online meeting software.
• Q: What SD card do I need?
  A: Use an SDHC card of 4–32 GB or an SDXC card of 64–512 GB, Class 10 or faster.
• Q: How long do the batteries last?
  A: Zoom rates approx. 3 hrs for alkaline, 3.5 hrs for NiMH and 8 hrs for lithium batteries (4-channel recording, phantom off). For long sessions, USB-C power or a power bank is recommended.
