The M4 sports a 3.5mm headphone output for real-time monitoring, a powerful mono speaker, a 3.5mm stereo line output, and a vibrant full-color LCD display for adjusting and monitoring your recordings. The M4 can run on four AA batteries for up to 18 hours of continuous operation as well as USB-C bus power and the optional Zoom AD-17 AC adapter (sold separately).
The Best of Both Worlds
The M4 MicTrak is designed to fuse the professional guts and features of the F-Series recorders with the convenience and portable form factor of the Handy Series. This middle road allows the M4 to provide excellent functionality at an attractive price, while remaining easy to carry to any recording scenario.
- 32-bit floating point recording provides excellent headroom and helps to avoid clipping issues
- High max SPL of 135 dB SPL delivers further protection against clipping for loud sound sources, such as performances, crowds, or instruments
- Up to 18 hours of battery life for improved operating time and multiple power options, including AA battery, USB bus power, or AC adapter (sold separately)
- Dual AD converter circuits, derived from the F-Series, make manual input gain adjustment unnecessary
- Support for broadcast- and film-quality BWF wav format as well as iXML for inclusion of location metadata on files or IP audio streams
- High-precision time code input support and generation with four modes (Internal Free Run, Internal Record Run, Internal RTC Run, External)
- Easy-to-read, full-color LCD display
- Built-in microSD card reader for storage up to 1 TB
- Up to four channels of recording (two X/Y mic tracks and two XLR-1/4" input tracks)
- 3.5mm TRS input for lavalier microphones
Wide Application Range
The M4 MicTrak is ideal for a wide range of portable sound recording applications from audio for video uses like filmmaking, on-site reporting, and video-based content creation, to podcasting, streaming, sound collage, and interviews. With the ability to record up to four simultaneous tracks, the M4 can also be a useful asset for musicians, providing a highly portable recording device that can capture a multi-mic, multi-track recording setup while minimizing the number of external microphones required. The USB-C connection makes it easy to both power the device and use it as a nearly pocket-sized audio interface with ultrahigh capture rates up to 192 kHz.
Easy to Use
The M3 MicTrak makes location shooting a breeze, with robust built-in recording features that make hauling separate recording devices unnecessary and dedicated outputs for headphone monitoring or line-level signals. The 4-channel internal system allows you record in stereo while simultaneously monitoring the mid and side microphones to hear the differences, a useful feature for mixing an ideal stereo signal from a wide, bidirectional recording.
