Zoom PodTrak P8 podcast recorder

Zoom PodTrak P8 podcast recorder

The Zoom PodTrack P8 is designed specifically for multi-person podcast recording, editing, and production, so you don't necessarily need a computer to get your recording ready for publication.

The recorder has six XLR microphone inputs with phantom power. Each input can be powered separately. The recorder also has two 3.5mm TRRS inputs for connecting, for example, a phone or a separate Zoom BTA-2 Bluetooth receiver. This means you can connect up to two remote participants to your recording via a call without echo.

Each audio input can be individually adjusted and muted. The recorder also has an auto

The recorder also has 6 headphone jacks, meaning one for each participant on site, so everyone can monitor what the audio sounds like in real time. In addition, the volume of each headphone jack can be adjusted individually.

The LCD touchscreen acts as both a monitoring tool and a control panel. It also allows you to edit and share your recordings. If you want, you can use the P8 recorder as a computer sound card for streaming, for example.

The recorder is powered either via an AC adapter, 4x AA batteries, or a USB port, making it ideal for taking with you even when power is not available.
