■Tip to improve recording sound quality
If the H4essential is placed directly on a table, reected sound can interfere with recording and
reduce clarity. We recommend using a tripod, for example, to distance it from the table. Placing a
handkerchief, for example, can also be effective in reducing sound reected from a table.
■Using external mics
An external mic or line-level device can also be connected to the MIC/LINE IN jack and recorded.
This can also provide plug-in power to mics that use it.
