Zoom H4n handheld recorder

The bottom of the Zoom H4n includes one of the holy grails of professional portable recording: XLR/TRS combo jacks. There's two of them, in fact, and they can be set up to record in stereo or dual-mono. These jacks make it easy to connect professional microphones, instruments, or mixers, without investing in adapters.
