The Zoom MicTrak M4 Handheld 4-Track Recorder Offering a fantastically compact and affordable all-in-one audio recording solution for filmmakers, musicians, podcasters, and content creators, the M4 MicTrak from Zoom delivers four tracks of crystal clear, clip-free audio thanks to its quality, stereo X/Y mic capsule with cardioid pickup pattern, two combos XLR-1/4" TRS inputs with up to +48V phantom power and sampling rates up to 192 kHz / 32-bit floating point. The M4 supports four modes of time code input via an auxiliary 3.5mm stereo jack, with precision down to ±0.2 ppm, a vital utility for any documentary filmmaker or content creator that needs to match audio to video with high accuracy.
