With three models to choose from—the M2, M3, and M4—Zoom has ensured that every content creator's needs are met.

The  Zoom M2 MicTrak takes inspiration from Zoom's popular Handy H1n recorder, featuring a sleek, pocket-sized design with an updated handheld microphone-like appearance.

The M2 also functions as a 2-in/2-out USB-C audio interface, making it a versatile tool for content creation on the go.

For those in need of more advanced features, the Zoom M4 MicTrak is the perfect choice. With its innovative mic-capsule design and 32-bit float technology, the M4 delivers exceptional audio quality with its 4-track recording capability. Equipped with an onboard X/Y microphone and two XLR-1/4" inputs, the M4 ensures pristine, clip-free audio capture. Filmmakers and musicians will appreciate the built-in timecode generator, facilitating seamless video syncing. Additional features include 48V phantom power, a 3.5mm TRS external-mic input for lavalier, and 23.976ND to 30D frame rate timecode precision. The M4 supports recording at up to 192 kHz/32-bit resolution and doubles as a 4-in/2-out USB-C audio interface, providing immense flexibility for various recording scenarios.

The Zoom M3 MicTrak caters specifically to camera-mount recording needs. This shotgun microphone/recorder combo is designed for capturing clean audio with its 32-bit float technology. The M3 features a super cardioid capsule and offers selectable mono/mid-side stereo pickup patterns, allowing content creators to control recording precision and ambiance. It includes a line out for direct audio connection to a camera's 3.5mm input and boasts dual AD converters for pristine sound quality. Supporting recording at up to 48 kHz/32-bit resolution, the M3 ensures professional-grade audio capture. As a 2-in/2-out USB-C audio interface, it provides seamless integration with other devices. The M3 is powered by 2 AA batteries, an AC adapter, or USB power and comes with a shock mount and foam windscreen for added convenience.

With Zoom's MicTrak series, content creators can expect nothing but the best in portable recording technology. These recorders/microphones combine professional features from Zoom's F-Series field recorders, such as 32-bit float recording and high SPL handling, with user-friendly design and functionality. Whether you're a filmmaker, video creator, live streamer, or podcaster, the MicTrak line offers the tools you need to capture pristine, high-quality audio in any recording situation.
