They Laughed When I Used My Zoom H2 Recorder To Record A Concert But When They Heard The Playback…
Zoom H2 Recorder - Everything You'd Expect From A High Priced Portable Stereo Recorder - For A Whole Lot Less!
My friends and I scored tickets to a sold out concert a few weeks ago. As we settled in I remembered I had my new Zoom H2 Recorder with me. I used it for the first time earlier that day to record my own guitar practice.
Although the playback sounded great I really didn’t know how good it would perform at a live concert.
You know how terrible a bad recording of a concert sounds? If you’re like me it can hurt to even listen to it.
I don’t know what my friends were thinking, but when they saw me take the small Zoom H2 Recorder out of my pocket they practically fell down on the floor laughing. They asked, “You’re going to use that to record this?”
I just knew in my heart that the Zoom wouldn’t let me down. At least I hoped it wouldn’t, anyway.
You can choose any of the three different sound patterns that are built into the Zoom H2 Recorder. I picked the 120° pattern, pointed the H2 Recorder at the stage, said a little prayer, and pressed record.
The concert just blew us away.
A few days later we all got together.
I had burned a CD of the concert and when I popped it into the stereo and cranked up the sound you should have seen the expressions on my friends faces.
First their mouths opened, then their jaws dropped, and their eyes opened wide. Then they all started to smile and sway to the beat. They couldn’t get over it!
It didn’t sound almost as good as it did when we were at the concert – it sounded just like it did when we were there.
Now they were making me feel like I won the lottery. And every time we’ve gotten together since then at least one of them thanks me for the copies I burned for each of them.

You won’t find anything else like this on the market. It has the functionality you want, it’s easy to use, and it’s priced right.
In fact, we’re all shocked at how affordable the MSRP of the Zoom H2 Recorder is. There are a number of other portable stereo recorders on the market, but either they don’t do everything this machine does, or they’re offered at a much higher price.
“It is perfect, not for just song-writing but for gigs and rehearsals as well…”
As a songwriter I have always had the need of a quick and easy device for capturing ideas as they occur. Years ago it was the classic Sony cassette recorder. Since then, however, nothing in the digital world has come close to my needs, that is until I tried the Zoom H2. It is perfect, not for just song-writing but for gigs and rehearsals as well. Superb design. Thank you.
