Compact Podcast Studio. The Zoom PodTrak P4 Multitrack Podcast Recorder takes what used to be multiple units for mic preamps, effects, mixing, monitoring, and recording and combines them into one very small podcast recorder. From dynamic or phantom powered supported XLR inputs to a finished stereo podcast recording, the PodTrak P4 simplifies all the steps in between to make the process as quick as possible. If you only need 6 channels and two 1/4" balanced TRS outputs, you might be interested in the Zoom PodTrak P8 Multitrack Podcast Recorder.
Echo-Free Remote Call-Ins. The P4 allows remote collaborators to easily integrate into a recording by plugging a smart phone directly into the 3.5mm TRRS port, connecting to a computer over USB for use with conferencing software, or both at the same time. The P4’s built-in mix-minus feature prevents echoes so your guests never have to worry about feedback.
Independent Output Control. This recorder features four discrete 3.5mm (1/8") headphone outputs with volume adjustment knobs for each.
Powered by AA Batteries. This recorder operates on two AA batteries which aren’t included with this rental. The recorder can also be powered via compatible USB Type C power adapters (not included).
Other Notable Features. Podcasters have the option to apply effects presets to vocals with a compressor and low cut filter. Remote interviews are made simple via Bluetooth (BTA-2 adapter required) and TRRS cable using popular apps like Skype and FaceTime.
