The Zoom M4 MicTrak is the flagship portable recording powerhouse of the MicTrak lineup, engineered specifically for demanding filmmakers, broadcasters, and field sound designers. Merging a specialized handheld microphone shape with high-fidelity 4-channel recording, the M4 packs an integrated, highly accurate timecode generator and dual A/D converters to deliver pristine, perfectly synchronized tracks out on every project.
Distortion-Free 32-Bit Float & 192 kHz Resolution
The M4 boasts Zoom’s leading 32-bit float conversion architecture, granting you infinite digital headroom during active production. From sudden loud action elements on a film set up to a powerful 135 dB SPL down to quiet, ambient room tones, the M4 completely eliminates digital clipping without needing to set or alter input gain levels. For top-tier audio workflows, it supports high-resolution recording up to 192 kHz WAV.
True Multi-Channel Capture with F-Series Preamps
While the top of the device houses a beautifully matched, built-in X/Y stereo microphone pair covered by a shock-resistant honeycomb plastic shell, the base unlocks professional studio connectivity. It features 2 XLR/TRS combo inputs backed by the ultra-low-noise preamps found in Zoom’s high-end F-series field rigs, providing clean, reliable phantom power (+24V/+48V) to your signature studio condenser microphones.
Internal Timecode Generator for Flawless Video Sync
Designed explicitly for video sets, the M4 features an internal timecode generator accurate to ±0.2 ppm. Utilizing dedicated 3.5mm input and output jacks, you can lock sync frames natively across multi-camera rigs and field equipment, saving you hours of tedious timeline alignment in video editing software.
Pre-Record Buffer & Vibrant Color LCD
Never miss a critical audio moment again. The M4 includes a built-in 6-second pre-record buffer that continuously caches incoming environmental sound, adding it directly to the timeline before you even strike the record button. The gorgeous 1.54-inch full-color LCD screen displays real-time, scrolling waveforms for all four channels simultaneously so you can verify track dynamics on the fly.
