Zoom R4

DESIGNED BY MUSICIANS All of our engineers are musicians and they designed the R4 MultiTrak to empower musicians to explore big ideas. With a unique dedicated ‘bounce track' and 32-bit float recording, the R4 is perfect for capturing your most ambitious compositions.

RECORD. BOUNCE. REPEAT. With the R4, you can record up to four tracks, mix and then bounce them to the dedicated ‘bounce track.' This lets you free up additional tracks to keep adding layers. You can also ‘undo' your last bounce, allowing you to mix your tracks further or record new ones if necessary.

32-BIT FLOAT RECORDING Don't worry about your audio signal clipping. The R4 captures perfect audio with every take, without the need to set gain. Learn more about 32-bit float technology here.

COMBO INPUTS The R4 has 2 XLR/TS combo inputs with tried and tested Zoom preamps. You can plug in microphones, instruments, keyboards, and more.

ADD SOME EFFECTS 
 Track Effects Each track features a 3-band EQ, pan, echo, and reverb to refine your mix.

Input Effects Apply effects to input A such as amp simulations, delays, distortions and more.

BUILT-IN MICROPHONE The R4 features a high-quality built-in microphone, perfect for acoustic guitars, vocals, or capturing a quick reference recording.

MUCH MORE THAN A METRONOME The R4 has a rhythm section preloaded with over 80 different drum patterns to play along with featuring genres such as rock, hip hop, funk, heavy metal, and more.

EVERY TAKE IS SAVED Tracks that you record are automatically saved individually, even after they have been bounced. These tracks or any other audio files can be loaded into a project on the R4

32-BIT FLOAT AUDIO INTERFACE The R4 is also a powerful 2-in/ 2-out USB audio interface with 32-bit float technology. Connect it to either your computer or smartphone.

CONTROL AND CREATE With a fader for each track and dedicated hardware buttons for the most used functions, you won't need to menu dive to record your music.

POWERED FOR YOUR IDEAS The R4 can be powered by 4 AA Batteries, or through its USB-C port.
