Brilliant stereo recording... Now with HD video. Zoom brought unrivaled HD audio to your movies with the Q3 Handy Video Recorder. Now, with the Q3HD, there’s only one handheld camcorder that does it all in 1080p. The Q3HD Handy Video Recorder takes Zoom’s renowned audio technology and combines it with HD video, allowing you to capture every moment with stunning clarity and resolution.

•24-bit/96kHz linear PCM sound

•2.4-inch LCD screen makes video easy to watch

The rich stereo sound captured by the X/Y mic pair can be recorded to linear PCM WAV files. When taking full high-definition 1080p video, high-quality sound with resolution of up to 24-bit/96kHz can also be recorded. In addition to being able to switch between “Low” and “High” gain levels, the “Auto” setting allows for automatic level adjustments. The versatile controls on your Q3HD mean your videos have amazing clarity no matter the application.

With the Q3HD’s 2.4-inch LCD screen, you can monitor important information while recording, including sound input level, remaining recording time and battery level.

Total Music Production

The R24 is a complete, compact and powerful portable music creation system with four key functions to accelerate your creativity: a 24-track recorder, an audio interface with eight ins and two outs, a DAW control surface and a drum machine/sampler with pads and a loop sequencer. RECORDER

Audio Interface supports 8 inputs and 2 outputs

The R24's simultaneous 8-track recording capability allows you to capture live band performances, record drum kits with multiple mics and make other recordings of multiple sound sources. Play back up to 24 tracks of 16/24-bit and 44.1/48-kHz sampling rate WAV format files. You can use the UNDO/REDO functions to cancel the last recording operation and restore the previous state. When you complete a song, you can mix it down and save a stereo mix for each project in the R24.

The R24 can function as an audio interface, enabling direct input of sounds to a computer. Support for 24-bit/96-kHz encoding ensures high-quality sound. Eight input channels and two output channels can be used simultaneously. The internal DSP effects of the R24 can also be used when the sampling rate is 44.1 kHz. A dedicated knob lets you adjust the balance between the DAW playback sound and the direct input sound when monitoring.

CONTROLLER Control surface functions for most DAW software The R24 can be used as a control surface for DAW transport functions (play, record, stop) and mixing operations. You can easily move multiple faders at the same time, which is very difficult to do with a mouse! You can also assign the five function keys to various DAW software commands. Cubase, Logic, Sonar and other major DAW applications are supported in Mackie Control emulation mode.

SAMPLER 24-voice sampler with 8 pads and 3 banks The built-in sampler functions allow you to use audio files on any tracks as loops. Play the pads in real-time and create performance for an entire track by combining loops. Use the display of the audio waveform for visual confirmation when setting loop intervals. Use time-stretching to change the tempo of a file without changing its pitch, and trim unneeded parts of loops. The sampler and recorder can also be used together seamlessly, allowing you to also record instrument performances while playing back loops on other tracks.

•Built-in stereo microphone pair The built-in high-sensitivity stereo mic pair is handy for quickly recording phrases and melody ideas as they come to mind. Vocals and acoustic instruments can be captured with excellent clarity.

•Guitar amp modeling and other DSP effects total 150 types The DSP effects, which include 150 types and 390 patches, can be used for recording, mixing and mastering. Three types of effects— the insert effect and the two send-return effects—can all be used at the same time. You can achieve a powerful amp sound just by connecting a guitar or bass directly to the R24 and using one of the 18 types of guitar amp models or 6 types of bass amp models that have been brought straight from our best-selling G2Nu effects unit. You can also use the 8 x COMP EQ effect, which lets you apply compression and EQ to eight channels simultaneously.

•Tuner and metronome functions The R24’s built-in tuner is great for quickly tuning instruments and checking the pitches of vocals. The metronome can provide a click track for a drummer during recording and is also useful during instrument practice. The metronome sound can also be sent just to the headphones. During a live performance, this allows you to play along with a backing track previously recorded on the R24.

•Versatile inputs for guitars, mics, and line sources The R24 can handle a variety of input sources. The unit is equipped with 8 input jacks that accept both XLR and standard phone connectors, including 6 that can supply phantom power, allowing the use of multiple condenser microphones for serious multi-mic recording. Use the channel with a Hi-Z switch to input electric guitars, basses and other high impedance instruments.

A USB flash drive or large-capacity external hard disk drive can be plugged into the R24’s USB host port. This lets you distribute recordings to band members after a rehearsal and make backups of recordings without a computer.

The included USB flash drive contains 500MB of drum loops recorded by the Grammy- winning jazz/fusion drummer, Peter Erskine specifically for the R24. By simply lining up drum loops, anyone can easily create professional-level rhythm tracks.

Huge 1.5GB drum loop library We also include 1GB of drum loops provided by Big Fish Audio, a top producer of sample libraries. The focus of this library is rock, but other rhythms also include jazz, funk, country, bossa nova and hip-hop.

•Steinberg Cubase LE DAW software included Cubase LE is a powerful music production system with recording, editing, and mixing functions for both audio and MIDI.
