Zoom PodTrak P4next - Recorder, mixer, podcast interface, offering intelligent features such as AI noise reduction, high-performance preamps, and remote user support, making it a complete solution for clear, smooth, and professional recordings, wherever you are.

Features:

• Recorder, mixer, podcast interface with intelligent features.
• Four independent outputs for headphones – individual volume control for optimal monitoring and comfort during recording.
• AI environmental analysis technology eliminates background noise without distorting the natural voice.
• Connections for two remote guests: Allows simultaneous connection via USB or Bluetooth (with the BTA-2 adapter) for interviews and collaborations without complications.
• High-gain XLR preamps (+70 dB) with low noise (-124 dBu), ideal for dynamic microphones; integrated tone and compression for “broadcast-ready” sound.
• Compatible with PC, phones, and mobile devices – perfect for studio recordings or on the go.
• Video recording (48 kHz/24-bit) - Ensures perfect synchronisation between sound and image, ideal for video podcasts and multimedia content.
• Operates with 2 AA batteries, providing total mobility for recordings in any location.
