Zoom PodTrak P2 USB Mic Recorder In More Detail
Two Mic Inputs and Monitoring
The recorder supports two USB microphones with dedicated gain control. Two headphone outputs allow separate monitoring, which supports host and guest recording without additional hardware. USB Type-A inputs supply up to 5V bus power for connected microphones.
Call-In Recording with Mix-Minus
A rear USB connection allows a phone or computer to be added for remote guests. The mix-minus system removes the caller’s return signal, preventing echo and maintaining consistent dialogue clarity. Recording is supported on microSDHC and microSDXC cards up to 1TB.
AI Noise Reduction
AI noise reduction analyses incoming audio and reduces background noise during both active speech and quieter sections. This maintains vocal clarity in untreated environments and reduces the need for post-processing.
Direct Audio for Video Recording
The recorder connects to a smartphone to capture audio directly into video recordings. This removes the need for syncing audio separately and supports simple video podcast workflows.
Onboard Audio Processing
Tone shaping applies EQ and de-essing to control harsh frequencies. A compressor manages dynamic range, reducing level differences between quiet and loud speech. A mute function allows microphones to be silenced instantly during recording.
Simple Mixing Control
Physical volume knobs and visible level meters provide immediate control over audio balance. This allows adjustments during recording without interrupting the session.
Streaming and Interface Mode
The unit functions as a USB audio interface, sending audio to a computer, smartphone or tablet. It can stream while simultaneously recording to SD card, maintaining a backup of the session.
Power Options for Mobile Use
Battery performance varies by type, with approximately 3.5 hours using alkaline, around 5 hours with NiMH and longer with lithium cells. It also supports USB power from external batteries, bus power or an AC adapter rated at 12W or higher.
Flexible Recording Options
Users can record a stereo mix for immediate sharing or capture individual tracks for editing. Multi-track recording supports up to four tracks at 48kHz/24-bit.
Audio Notifications and File Protection
Audio notifications provide alerts through headphones for low battery or storage warnings. Files are automatically saved every 10 seconds, reducing the risk of data loss during interruptions.
Companion Software Control
The P2 Editor software provides access to additional settings when connected to Windows or Mac systems, expanding control over recording and interface behaviour.
