Zoom PodTrak P4 Portable Podcast Recorder

Podcasting requires you to set up your laptop, a bulky interface, dozens of wires, and multiple microphones for all your participants. Now, you won't need to go through all that pain again.

Zoom's PodTrak P4 is a portable multitrack podcast recorder that can record up to four microphones simultaneously. Furthermore, it guarantees exceptional echo-free microphone and remote call-ins from its specialized TRRS smartphone port and USB-connected computer calls. This feature is useful for podcasts that have frequent callers from all sources.

You won't need a podcast production studio and station to set up your show. The PodTrak P4 has built-in limiters and simple audio processors to fine tune and bring great clarity to your sound. Furthermore, the PodTrak P4 has multi-powering methods that make it a portable, cost-effective investment for any podcaster looking for high-quality equipment in a small package.

Product Features in Detail

Up To Four High-Gain Mic Inputs

Every podcaster knows the issues of having poor phantom power to boost dynamic and condenser microphones while on the go. With the PodTrak P4, you have four high-quality, high-gain microphone inputs to deliver phantom power and level your signals for the show. You'll find no problems attaining a fully polished mix after every show.

Zoom BTA-2 Echo-Free Remote Wireless Support

Wire-free call-ins are possible using the PodTrak P4's Zoom BTA-2 Bluetooth receiver. Even without this separately-sold accessory, you can pipe in calls using the PodTrak P4's high-quality 3.5mm TRRS smartphone port. You can connect computer audio using USB too.

Customizable Sound Pads

If you'd like to spice up your show with some sound effects, you won't need to use clunky digital audio workstations or put them in later during post-production. Customizable sound pads allow you to capture and deliver amazing sound effects at the right time and pace. Furthermore, the PodTrak P4 has a wide selection of sample you can use and trigger using the buttons.

Exceptional Zoom Signal Polishing

Zoom's top-tier signal polishing technology remains present in the PodTrak P4. You won't need to use a digital audio workstation to process your live or recorded podcast. The P4 has built-in limiters to improve your audio's dynamics and low-cut filters to eliminate rumbling and unwanted ambient noises.

Hours and Hours of Battery Life

Portability is never complete with dependable power sources. The PodTrak P4 can use AA lithium batteries for 5-6 hours of continuous use. Alternatively, you can use its separately-sold AC adapter for longer podcast sessions or power it up using your laptop's USB port.
