Samson Zoom H2 – Another Choice in Mobile Recording
I’m not a huge audio head, but I do pay attention when new hand held portable equipment comes out since people are always asking me for recommendations. So yesterday when I first read on Engadget about the new Samson Zoom H2 I had to check it out.
What I like about this is that it’s much smaller then the Zoom H4 that lots of people have been raving about lately. I never liked the look and size of that one, but this one is pretty sweet.
I have an Edirol R-09 that I love the quality of, but it’s way to fragile and thus I’ve been thinking about getting something else. This looks a lot sturdier, but I’ll have to wait to actually check one out. Anyone from Samson reading who wants to send me one to play with and report back? I’m always open to trying out new gadgets as long as companies are ok with honest and open feedback on my blog and podcast.
If you have tried one of these out please let me know your thoughts because the specs are right. I haven’t found a price anywhere yet so who knows. Guess I’ll have to keep an eye out for it.

This is the baby brother of the Samson Zoom H4, which has quite a bit of positive praise. It was the device that Gill Mills was using to interview you at PodcastCon UK last year.
The H4 has the advantage that it has 2 XLR inputs (with phantom power) and can be used as a USB audio interface, but if you don’t need that funcionality, then the H2 looks like a superb, smaller and cheaper alternative.
If Samson do send you one, pass it on when you’ve finished with it
