/PNOX\HSP[`TPJYVWOVULZPUHU?@ WH[[LYULUZ\YLHUH[\YHSZ[LYLVPTHNL ^OLUYLJVYKPUNZV\UKZ Stereo recording is often done by placing two microphones in a V shape. Pointing microphones outward will result in stereo separation, however the recording will lack defintion around the center position, resulting in a poor stereo image. The H4n utilizes an X Y stereo mic configuration. By placing two microphones in a crossed pattern (opposing angles), the H4n can cover a wide area and capture sound sources in the center with clarity and definition. Sounds reach both mics simultaneously, and therefore no phase cancellation occurs between right and left channels.

USB/Cubase LE 4 Startup Guide
USB/Cubase LE 4 Startup Guide
This USB/Cubase LE 4 Startup Guide explains how to install Cubase LE 4 on a computer, make connections and settings for the H4n, and perform recording.
Cubase LE 4 installation
Connections and preparation
To connect the H4n to a computer running Windows Vista (or Windows XP) and to enable audio input/output, proceed as follows. The installation description uses Windows Vista as an example.
Download the latest ZOOM H4 ASIO driver from the web site of ZOOM Corporation (http://www.zoom.co.jp) and install the driver. The ZOOM H4 ASIO driver software is required to enable use of Cubase LE 4 for audio input and output with a computer. Refer to the read_me file included in the download package for instructions on how to install the driver correctly.
Use Cubase LE 4 to record
Windows Vista / XP
[PHONES/LINE] jack of the H4n to monitor the signal. • Use a high-quality USB cable and keep the connection as short as possible. If USB bus power is supplied to the H4n via a USB cable that is more than 3 meters in length, the low voltage warning indication may appear.

To accurately monitor the sound also while adjusting the recording level, temporarily set the output device port for the VST connection (step 6) to "Not Connected". • The level meter as in the above illustration shows the signal level after processing in the H4n. When you pluck a guitar string the meter may register with a slight delay, but this is not a defect.
Connect the guitar or other instrument to the [INPUT] jack of the H4n and select the desired patch.
When the recording level has been adjusted, click the monitoring button to disable it.
The sound selected here will be recorded on the computer via the [USB] port. For information on how to select the input signal and effect patch for the H4n, see page 034 (Selecting the input source) and page 083 (Selecting a patch) of the H4n operation manual.

Recording starts. As you play your instrument, the waveform appears in real time in the project window. To stop recording, click the Stop button in the transport panel.
(2) Reduce plug-ins (effects, instruments) used by Cubase LE 4. When there is a high number of plug-ins, the computer's processing power may not be able to keep up. Reducing the number of tracks for simultaneous playback can also be helpful. (3) Power the unit from an AC adapter. When a device designed to use USB power is powered via the USB port, the current supply may sometimes fluctuate, leading to problems. See if using an AC adapter improves operation. If applications still run very slowly or the computer itself does not function properly, disconnect the H4n from the computer and shut down Cubase LE 4. Then reconnect the USB cable and start Cubase LE 4 again.
