Capture moments of musical inspiration and build compositions on the go with the Zoom R4 MultiTrak recorder. This compact and travel-ready miniature studio combines classic 4-track workflow with modern digital features, perfect for musicians.

The Zoom R4 MultiTrak recorder is a compact and travel-ready miniature studio designed for musicians to capture moments of inspiration and build compositions on the go. It seamlessly blends the familiar workflow of classic portable 4-track recorders with advanced 21st-century digital capabilities, offering two versatile XLR/TRS combo inputs, a high-quality built-in microphone, intuitive volume faders, a clear 2-inch color LCD, and a stereo 3.5mm output for monitoring. Equipped with a range of effects and built-in rhythms, the R4 provides everything needed to lay down ideas efficiently. Audio is recorded directly to microSD cards, supporting capacities up to 1TB ensuring ample space for extensive projects.

Engineered with musicians in mind, the R4 MultiTrak empowers creative exploration. Its unique dedicated bounce track allows users to record up to four tracks, mix them, and then bounce the result to a single track, freeing up additional tracks for continuous layering and complex arrangements. This innovative feature streamlines the songwriting process, enabling artists to expand their musical ideas without limitations.

Experience pristine audio capture with the R4's 32-bit float recording technology, eliminating concerns about audio signal clipping. This advanced feature ensures perfect audio on every take, removing the need for meticulous gain setting and allowing musicians to focus purely on their performance. Enhance your sound further with comprehensive effects: each track includes a 3-band EQ, pan, echo, and reverb for precise mixing, while input A offers additional effects like amp simulations, delays, and distortions.

Beyond its recording capabilities, the R4 features a high-quality built-in microphone, ideal for capturing acoustic guitars, vocals, or quick reference recordings on the fly. It also boasts a versatile rhythm section preloaded with over 80 diverse drum patterns spanning genres such as rock, hip hop, funk, and heavy metal, providing a dynamic accompaniment for practice and composition.

Every track recorded on the R4 is automatically saved individually, even after being bounced, ensuring that no creative element is lost. These individual tracks or any other audio files can be easily loaded back into a project on the R4 for further manipulation. Furthermore, the R4 doubles as a powerful 2-in / 2-out USB audio interface with 32-bit float technology, allowing seamless connection to computers or smartphones for expanded studio integration.

Designed for intuitive operation, the R4 features a dedicated fader for each track and hardware buttons for frequently used functions, minimizing the need for menu diving and keeping the creative flow uninterrupted. Its robust power options, including four AA batteries or a USB-C port, ensure that the R4 is always ready to capture your musical ideas, wherever inspiration strikes. For added convenience, a 1/4-inch-20 thread allows for easy mounting to a tripod or other accessories, while nonskid rubber feet keep it stable on any flat surface.
