Handy audio interface/standalone recorder
damondimento78 18.06.2021
Bought primarily for recording phone calls. Tried using other workarounds but this device makes it so much easier. Good audio quality and usability generally. LCD is small so a little difficult to read at times. One star off for build quality (plasticy all round). My one issue with this device and so many consumer end devices is built quality and longevity. The body of the device and the fittings (battery lid) feel only ok. I would pay an extra 10 or 20 euros for something with more ruggedness. In terms of environmental impact and economic (not buying a replacement soon) I would just like more solidity, but that's subjective I guess. Overall, recommended and does the job.

An fantastic piece of gear
Johnluxir 02.06.2023
Absolutely seamless to set up. Huge amount of features for the price. Easily drives even the most gain hungry of dynamic mics. I was worried about the headphone amps from the other reviews but unless you are an absolute audio evangelist this will not be a problem at all. I record a podcast with two remote hosts and myself local to the device. The remote guests record into one stereo track on the P4 through USB to my Macbook and i record to a mono track with a Shure SM58 connected to the first input. Everything works seamlessly. The mix minus functionality is simple and effective. I'm left with two tracks which i can apply post production edits to and publish with ease. The sound pad feature also works very well. I highly recommend this product.

Awesome product
Petros10 18.11.2021
Zoom PodTrak P4 really hits every base. You can connect xlr mics, phone, a computer (you can use it as a sound interface as well), it has USB-c connectivity, you can use it with a Bluetooth device, it can be powered with batteries (you receive two in the box) and a charger (which you have to provide, it does not come in the box). It also has little rubber padding on the back so it would not slide on the surface.
Sound pads are a pretty nice addition, the interface is pretty easy to use even without a manual and you can also connect up to 4 headphones.
It really is a go-to device for podcasters.

On the minus side, it really is made of a lot of plastic. You should take care of this thing as it appears to be pretty fragile. It is also quite compact, so it can easily fit on the palm of your hand. This makes it even more susceptible to damage imo.
