The Zoom PodTrak P4next builds upon the legacy of the original P4, delivering a portable, studio-grade recording station tailored specifically for multi-person podcasts, panel interviews, and live remote broadcasts. Designed with dedicated physical controls for up to four participants, intelligent vocal processing, and seamless phone integration, it lets you produce professional multi-track audio without needing a computer or mixing console.
Four High-Gain XLR Inputs & Quad Headphone Mixes
The PodTrak P4next features 4 high-performance XLR microphone inputs offering up to 70 dB of gain, effortlessly driving gain-hungry dynamic mics like the Shure SM7B without requiring external inline preamps. Each channel features switchable +48V phantom power for studio condenser mics. For monitoring, all four participants get their own dedicated 3.5mm headphone output with independent volume knobs, giving everyone individual control over their mix.
Smart AI Noise Reduction & One-Touch Vocal Enhancement
Tackle noisy recording environments instantly. The P4next incorporates an onboard AI Noise Reduction filter that intelligently detects and isolates human speech while suppressing ambient hums, HVAC noise, and traffic rumble. Dedicated front-panel buttons for Tone (to adjust vocal warmth and air) and Compression (to smooth out dynamic volume spikes) ensure your hosts and guests sound clear and broadcast-ready from the moment you hit record.
Programmable Sound Pads & Echo-Free Remote Interviews
Enhance your production value on the fly using 4 customizable Sound Pads with dedicated volume control to trigger intros, sound effects, ads, or pre-recorded interviews. Bringing in remote guests is seamless: hook up a smartphone using the 3.5mm TRRS jack or an optional BTA-2 Bluetooth adapter, or plug in a computer via USB-C. The P4next automatically applies an internal Mix-Minus workflow to eliminate distracting audio echo and feedback on the caller’s line.
Multi-Track SD Recording & USB Interface Mode
The P4next records separate WAV tracks for each microphone input alongside a combined stereo master mix directly onto SDHC or SDXC cards up to 1 TB, giving you clean isolated stems for post-production editing. When connected to a PC, Mac, iPad, or Android device via USB-C, it transforms into a multi-in/multi-out USB audio interface for live streaming or recording straight into your favorite DAW.
