H4 Essential

Content creators, filmmakers, and musicians alike are raving about the H4essential, an updated iteration of the company’s popular portable recorder lineup. Featuring additional recording and playback tracks, combo input interfacing, and an updated LCD, the H4essential brings more recording gusto to the table than ever before. Enhanced features include expanded memory card compatibility for higher workload handling, several hours of onboard battery life, and quiet operation controls — to name just a few. There’s also a brand-new Accessibility Mode, where a screen reader assists visually impaired creators with menu navigation.

The Essential Series was designed with Accessibility for the blind and visually impaired. Navigate the menu with audible descriptions through the built-in speaker or headphones.
