Special Features
SOLO RECORDING STARTER KIT — RECORDER, 32GB MICROSDHC, SD ADAPTER, FIVE AA ALKALINE CELLS: The retail R4 ships with the recorder and one set of AA batteries — but no SD card, which means out of the box it cannot record. This bundle pairs the Zoom R4 MultiTrak with a 32GB Class 10 microSDHC card and full-size SD adapter, plus a 5-pack of AA alkaline batteries. First-time portable recorder buyers, songwriters on tour, and home recordists upgrading from phone voice memos — start recording today, in one purchase.
FOUR-TRACK MULTITRAK RECORDER WITH ONBOARD MIC AND USB-C INTERFACE FOR SONGWRITERS: Built for songwriters, touring musicians, home recordists, and mobile producers who want a hardware-first sketch pad, the Zoom R4 records 4 simultaneous tracks of 32-bit float WAV at 48 kHz, layers a built-in microphone with two XLR/TRS combo inputs, and doubles as a class-compliant USB-C audio interface for laptop DAW work. Hit record, perform, no laptop required.
32-BIT FLOAT RECORDING FOR DEMO TRACKING, SONGWRITING, AND MOBILE MUSIC PRODUCTION: The R4 writes 32-bit float WAV at 48 kHz to the included microSDHC card — roughly 1500 dB of dynamic range in a single take. A clipped chorus is still recoverable. A quiet acoustic pass pulls up cleanly in post without raising the noise floor. Songwriters press record, perform, deal with gain later. Every take is usable.
UNLIMITED STEREO BOUNCING WITH NON-DESTRUCTIVE TAKE PRESERVATION: Four physical tracks fill with vocals, guitar, bass, and drum pattern; bounce to a stereo pair; two tracks open again for overdubs; bounce again. Every original take stays saved on the microSD card after every bounce — pull a source pass back into the mix days later if a remix needs it. The 1980s portastudio workflow, without the tape generation loss.
32GB CLASS 10 UHS-I MICROSDHC WITH SD ADAPTER FOR HOURS OF 32-BIT FLOAT WAV: The included microSDHC card slots into the R4 under the battery compartment and holds many hours of layered 4-track recording at up to 100 MB/s read speed. The full-size SD adapter drops the card into any laptop SD slot for direct file transfer — no card reader, no dongles. One purchase, ready to write to disk.
5-PACK AA ALKALINE BATTERIES FOR ALL-DAY MOBILE SESSIONS: The R4 runs on 4 AA cells for about 7 hours alkaline, 6 hours NiMH, or 14 hours lithium — or on USB-C bus power. The included 5-pack delivers one fresh set in the recorder plus a spare in the case for tour stops, coffee-shop sessions, and parked-van tracking where the nearest wall outlet is two highway exits away. Power that travels with the studio.
COMPATIBLE WITH MAC, WINDOWS, IOS, AND ANDROID OVER USB-C: The R4 doubles as a class-compliant 2-in/2-out USB-C audio interface — no drivers, no setup ritual. Connect to a Mac, Windows laptop, iOS device, or Android tablet running USB-C and the R4 appears as the audio input/output. Drop tracks into Logic, Ableton, GarageBand, or any modern DAW. Field recorder by day, studio interface by night.
