I’m ecstatic to tell you that 5 years after our attraction to Zoom to appropriate the shortage of 48 kHz within the authentic PodTrak P4 multitrack mixer/recorder, the corporate has simply introduced the brand new mannequin referred to as the PodTrak P4next for about US$180. Among the many new and improved specs are the sampling charge corrected to 48 kHz (versus the prior non-standard for video 44.1 kHz) and the depth bit modified to 24-bit (versus the prior 16-bit). I certainly plan to check and evaluate the brand new PodTrak P4next mannequin, which retains its as much as 70 dB acquire, 4-track mixer, mix-minus for distant company, multitrack recording, inside playback of pre-recorded audio carts, multitrack USB-C interface and 4 headphone outputs with particular person quantity controls, whereas including options. The brand new options embrace realtime AI noise discount, tone shaping, and built-in voice dynamic compression. The distant company might be linked by way of 3.5 mm TRRS, USB or bluetooth utilizing an elective module. I plan to check most of these options in my upcoming evaluate.
Like the unique model, the brand new PodTrak P4next.runs both on AA batteries or constantly by way of USB energy. In accordance with Zoom, the operating time for the PodTrak P4next on AA batteries varies by battery sort: roughly 8.5 hours with lithium batteries, 4 to 4.5 hours with NiMH batteries and round 3 to 4 hours with alkaline batteries. These instances are estimates for steady operation and will probably be shorter when utilizing phantom energy or different options.
Standby for my upcoming evaluate.
