The Zoom H4n is a very popular mobile recorder for video productions.  It’s an essential tool for HDSLR shoots allowing you to record up to two XLR mics directly to a SD card.
Yesterday, Zoom released version 1.70 of their firmware. Â One of the major updates was to allow independent level controls for each XLR input. Â Up till now, both XLR inputs operated on the same level control.
