I have a Zoom H2 and am planning to take it back for a refund.
The line in is frankly dreadful. It has distortion all over it. I was hoping to retire my old mini disc which is fiddly in the field. However the mini disc quality far out performs this zoom H2 even though the data rate is far higher on the zoom , the line in is appalling.
Also I recorded a quietish gig with the built in mics and could not avoid distortion. The little red light flashed even though the meters were 12db under when peaking!
I don't think that I am expecting too much from this thing to have some semblance of quality.
My question is... or are they all this bad?
Also I read on a web site (Digital Village), that there was 3 capsules and it did M&S but the instructions say there is 4 in two X-Y configerations... any one know anything about this....?
Much obliged for any insights....
