This is certainly the best recording device I have purchased till now. Before purchasing I had viewed a few reviews on Youtube, and was surprised by the positive feedback from experts who are otherwise very critical :-). Now I understand why. The device is absolutely amazing. The device is absolutely amazing with the various recording apps for field recording, podcast and music.
Positives:
- XY mics
- 6 additional mics (with phantom power)
- Option to power with power bank (USB) during operation for long sessions
- Effects on each channel
- Use as external audio device for multi-channel recording directly on PC/Mac
- Line-Out
- Combination of Zoom H8 with Zoom BTA-1 (bluetooth adapter) and H8 App for iOS is super useful
- Touch screen
Negatives:
- I don't understand why Zoom doesn't provide cover foams for the XY-mic, especially since it is a mobile recorder and they in fact provide an app on the device for field recording. My old H2n was shipped with a cover foam (which I am now using :-))
- A plastic hard cover is missing as well
- Why mini USB and not USB-C?
I just got my order, the Boss VE-22.
I must say I am very happy with your services - great flexibility (my previous order of AER was handled perfectly when I was in urgency) and organisation (the Boss VE 22 was available while on other dealer's pages, it’s only in pre-order).
I very much appreciate also the human aspects and communication - you replied to me on a sunday and it was very reassuring. I didn’t get an automatic AI reply.
And last but definitely not least, the price is far the best from all options, even Thomann.
Great job, I am so happy that by my purchases I can support a company like this !
Thanks for your work.
