Forget about clipping
When on set, you can't afford distorted or muffled sound. The M4 recorder records in 32-bit float format, allowing you to capture perfect sound in any situation without needing to adjust microphone gain.
Lights, camera... action!
Filmmakers can use XLR inputs to record dialogue while simultaneously capturing background sounds with the built-in X/Y microphones. Thanks to the built-in time code generator, your recordings can easily be synchronized with video in post-production.
Create stunning music videos
Combine audio recorded on the built-in X/Y microphones with two external microphones to elevate your sound quality to a studio level regardless of working conditions.
Waveform monitoring
Monitor the signal on each of the four tracks as a waveform on the color LCD display of the M4.
Noise-free operation
The M4 was designed as the quietest portable handheld recorder. Its unique X/Y microphones and glossy finish significantly reduce noise from usage, ensuring clean sound recording without interference during each take.
Time code included
Serious videographers rely on time code for perfect audio and video synchronization. The M4 recorder features a professional-level time code generator with an accuracy of 0.2 parts per million.
High-performance inputs
The M4 is equipped with two combined XLR/TRS inputs with professional-level quiet preamps, also found in Zoom's flagship F-Series recorders.
Perfect set of outputs
Connect the line output to your camera and record a backup track or a track for synchronization with video. The built-in headphone output allows you to monitor the signal directly during recording.
One-step normalization
Save time in post-production with the built-in normalization function, which automatically adjusts the sound volume to the optimal level without applying compression.
Monitoring capabilities
Use the headphone output for monitoring during recording or rely on the built-in speaker for quick playback of the just recorded take.
Six seconds in reserve
The pre-record function records and saves six seconds of audio before you press the "RECORD" button, which can be especially useful when recording starts unexpectedly.
Record all day
Powered by batteries, the M4 can operate for up to 18 hours, allowing you to fully rely on it when needed.
Remote control
Control your M4 recorder from up to five meters away with the Zoom RC4 remote control (sold separately).
32-bit Float audio interface
The M4 recorder can also be used as an audio interface with four inputs, two outputs, and 32-bit float support.
