Zoom Q4n

Zoom has a longstanding reputation for products with excellent audio, and the Q4n is no exception. It supports high-resolution 24-bit/96 kHz stereo sound and its built-in microphones can handle high sound pressure levels (up to 140 dB SPL) for distortion-free recording even in noisy environments.

You can also connect external microphones and other devices via a 1/8" stereo input and monitor them either through headphones or the built-in speaker. There is also an HDMI video output for connection to HD TVs, so you can easily view your creations on location or at home.
