The H2n is basically not used any more as of about 2018 where it was replaced in a recording capacity by the 2 privately owned ZOOM H5s which typically float around the studio during productions. These are more functional than the H2n and nicer to use. That being said, the H2n does still exist and likely will come out of temporary retirement soon. | The H2n is basically not used any more as of about 2018 where it was replaced in a recording capacity by the 2 privately owned ZOOM H5s which typically float around the studio during productions.

===Two notes on external mics:=== | |||
*Setting the H2n to XY mode disables the onboard mics when an external source is connected. This can be helpful to avoid handling noise, particularly as external dynamic mics require a fairly high gain compared to those onboard. | *Setting the H2n to XY mode disables the onboard mics when an external source is connected.

*Be careful when using an external mic on the move - 3.5mm TRS jacks are not especially robust, and if the cable becomes too taut, the plug or even the line in socket may be damaged. | *Be careful when using an external mic on the move - 3.5mm TRS jacks are not especially robust, and if the cable becomes too taut, the plug or even the line in socket may be damaged. | ||
