## Description

Zoom H8 12-Track Portable Recorder, Stereo Microphones, 6 Inputs, Touchscreen Interface, USB Audio Interface, Battery Powered, for Stereo/Multitrack Audio for Video, Podcasting, and Music

Review: It works well. - It works well
Review: Check the price - This is a good unit. I paid £399 for it here, though - check the best prices, even on desertcart. I woz careless. Never mind, it gives good results, although powering through the micro-USB with a power bank is recommended when phantom power mics are added. I was getting buzzing on one of the XLR inputs when I tried USB power through a mains USB wall-wart, but the power bank gave no such problems. I have tried it successfully with 6 condenser microphones connected through the ports in addition to the on-board XY pair. The 4-port extension which can replace the XY Zoom mics also appears to work well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Portable Recorder For Our Youtube Videos!
*by F***S on 2 May 2023*

It's giving a perfect sound quality for our Youtube Videos. The Podcast option is Awesome. I already researched about the product on Internet before ordering. And I am glad I did it. The next update for our company would be Premix 3. The only thing I am missing here on Amazon India is the Bluetooth adapter, to control the settings from our phone! Overall Great Experience! It's a mini Beast!
