Audio Test: Zoom H5 vs. Zoom H4n vs. Tascam DR-40

A head-to-head shootout between the Zoom H5, Zoom H4n, and Tascam DR-40 portable recorders. Hear a comparison of their stereo microphones, and how they sound with the Rode NTG-3 and NTG-2 shotgun microphones, as well as the Audio-Technica AT4053b hypercardioid microphone. There is also a comparison of how they handle a line-level signal from a Sound Devices 302 field mixer. Complete details on how I carried out these tests, and my opinion on how these recorders performed can be found in my blog post - http
