Zoom PodTrak P4next Portable Multitrack Podcast Recorder
Podcast Like a Pro, from Day One
The key to any great podcast is great sound—and the Zoom PodTrak P4next makes it effortless. Packed with next-generation technology such as AI noise reduction, tone shaping, and built-in voice compression, the P4next delivers polished, broadcast-quality audio from the moment you hit record. Whether you’re in the studio, on the road, or recording with remote guests, it’s your all-in-one tool for professional podcasting right out of the box.
Intelligent Sound and Mixing
AI noise reduction learns and removes hums, buzzes, and street noise for clear, natural speech. Tone-shaping adds polish and warmth with EQ and de-essing, while the built-in compressor smooths sudden shouts, laughter, and whispers. Dedicated mic knobs, mute buttons, and backlit transport controls keep your mix balanced and easy to manage. Voice guidance provides audible menu descriptions, allowing effortless navigation without looking at the screen.
Flexible Inputs and Recording Power
Four XLR inputs deliver up to +70 dB of gain with 48V phantom power on every channel-ready for any mic. Record in 48 kHz / 24-bit resolution directly to a microSD card up to 2TB, or capture a stereo mix and individual tracks for detailed postproduction. Compact design and multiple power options let you record anywhere for up to 3.5 hours on AA batteries or indefinitely via USB or AC power.
Podcasting and Livestream Versatility
Host up to five participants with three local mic inputs and two remote guests connected via USB, Bluetooth, or TRRS smartphone input. Built-in mix-minus removes echo and feedback automatically (Bluetooth requires the BTA-2 adapter). Four headphone outputs with independent volume controls give everyone their own mix. Use the P4next as a USB-C stereo or multitrack interface for streaming or recording on PC, Mac, iOS, or Android.
Creative Tools for Every Format
Cue up intros, music, or effects with four assignable sound pads. Record professional audio for video productions or livestreams without extra gear—just connect your phone and go. Whether capturing a conversation, streaming live, or producing in post, the P4next combines intelligent processing, flexible connectivity, and reliable portability in one complete recording solution.

Zoom ZDM-1 Dynamic Microphone
Tuned to deliver a robust vocal tone with smooth highs and tight lows, the Zoom ZDM-1 is an affordable dynamic microphone that's ideal for podcasters, radio show announcers, rappers, and singers. Thanks to its high SPL handling and broad frequency response, this end-address mic makes it easy to capture your voice with mix-ready broadcast quality.
The large-diaphragm dynamic capsule utilizes a supercardioid pickup pattern to effectively reduce ambient sound such as room noise at the sides of the mic. To isolate the pickup element from handling noise, vibrations, and rumble, the ZDM-1 employs an integrated shock-absorbing mechanism. The ZDM-1's integral humbucking circuit improves the signal-to-noise ratio by inhibiting electromagnetic interference from common sources such as wireless devices, power lines, computer displays, and more.

The all-metal body and grille afford ruggedness and durability for reliable use session after session. The ZDM-1 includes a pivoting mic stand mount for easy positioning and a custom windscreen for attenuation of plosives and breath noise.
This microphone is part of the B&H Virtual Mic Locker, an online tool to help our valued customers determine the sonic differences between popular microphones for podcasting and voice over work. Each microphone was recorded using a Grace Design M103 preamp into a Presonus Quantum 2626 interface.

Simple, Portable, Powerful: My Real-World Take on the Zoom PodTrak P4 Next:

By Rick
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-01-06

(Video Review at https://youtu.be/GlzLtKfrZyg) If you’re a first-time podcaster or need a simple, cost-effective way to record multiple microphones on location, the Zoom PodTrak P4 Next is a very practical solution. My goal was straightforward: a portable, four-channel mic recorder that could also send usable audio directly into my camera for fast turnaround shoots. As my clients’ podcasts grew beyond two guests, my old two-channel camera-mounted setup stopped cutting it. The P4 Next filled that gap with minimal learning curve, even for someone new to podcast-specific recorders. The P4 Next records four isolated mic tracks directly to microSD (not included), giving excellent flexibility in post. While there’s no dedicated line-out for cameras, routing audio from headphone output 4 works reliably. With proper camera settings, this setup delivers clean, synced audio straight into the video—ideal when there’s little or no time for post-production. (see video for my Nikon Z6III audio settings) Audio quality is where the P4 Next really shines! The preamps are impressively clean, offering 70 dB of gain and recording at 24-bit / 48 kHz, a noticeable upgrade over the original P4. Even with inexpensive, $50, budget, pencil condenser mics, I experienced no noticeable noise when mic and headphone out#4 gain levels were set sensibly. With settings nailed, I don't need to edit the audio tracks in post. Much easier and better than my 2-channel, Tascam DSLR XLR adapter I was using prior to the PodTrack P4Next. Power and portability are strong points. Running on two AA batteries, I consistently achieved well over an hour on alkalines and more than two hours on lithium batteries, and this is with phantom power enabled. All 4 XLR outputs are selected phantom power on/off simultaneously, not individually-so use appropriate mics for your broadcast. For longer sessions, USB power or external batteries available options. At $179, the Zoom PodTrak P4 Next delivers clean, vibrant audio, flexibility, and portability in a compact package. It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable—and for on-location podcasting and small productions, that’s exactly what matters! (My settings using the Nikon Z6III and NEEWER NW-410 mic's for this test: P4Next Mic gain at 12:30 to 1:00, Headphone #4 Output at 10:30, Z6III Audio>External Mic, Mic jack plug-in power>Off, Audio input sensitivity>Manual>4)
