Andy,
I have an 'old' Zoom H2. Is your workaround (below) intended to get a
recording with less noise?
I'd like to try it. I can see how to record at 24bit wav but I don't
understand the rest.
The gain settings are L/M/H. I have it set to M (mid). I've put up the
volume control (on the left hand side) to 100.
I use an old version of Audacity for editing on the computer. I usually
just bring in a wav file and 'normalise' it to 95%. You say 'in
editing, boost the levels'. Is that the same as 'normalise'?
(I may have completely misunderstood you!)

My workaround (H2) is to record at 24bit wav and set the hi/mid/lo
sensitivity
switch to avoid overload. (with the digital vol control set always
to 100)
Then when editing to 16bit CD format I boost the level.
(it *is* possible to do that within the H2 afaik, but as I have pro
editing on pc I haven't tried)

ps
Essential accessory for these portable recorders is one of those
little camera tripods.
( I got mine from Poundland)

Do the new Zooms have manual gain setting? Indispensable.
