Zoom Q8n-4K UHD Handy Video Recorder - Stereo Mics, XLR Inputs

The Zoom Q8n-4K Handy Video Recorder is purpose-built for musicians, podcasters, and content creators who need broadcast-ready audio and video without hauling a rack of separate gear. At its core, the Q8n-4K pairs a 4K Ultra HD camera with a high-quality 150-degree wide-angle lens and built-in stereo X/Y microphones, giving you a complete recording solution in a single handheld device. The selectable viewing angles let you adapt your framing on the fly, while lighting presets with adjustable brightness help maintain image quality in challenging low-light environments.

Where the Q8n-4K truly distinguishes itself is in its audio capabilities. The recorder captures four simultaneous tracks — two from the onboard stereo mics and two from the XLR/TRS combo inputs, both of which provide phantom power for condenser microphones. This means you can record a live performance with the built-in mics capturing the room while dedicated vocal or instrument mics feed into the XLR inputs, all synchronized to the 4K video. For live streaming, the Q8n-4K doubles as a 1080p USB webcam that sends four channels of audio to your computer, making it an efficient all-in-one streaming solution for musicians and podcasters who want professional sound without a complicated setup.
