It brings microphone inputs, independent headphone monitoring, onboard recording, and call-in connectivity into one portable unit. This helps reduce the need to assemble separate mixers, interfaces, headphone amplifiers, and recorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for up to four local microphone users, the P4next provides four XLR inputs with individual level controls and up to +70 dB of input gain. Each participant can use a dedicated headphone output with its own volume control. Channel 4 can alternatively be used for the TRRS smartphone connection instead of its XLR input.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recorder captures 48 kHz\/24-bit WAV audio to a microSDHC or microSDXC card, with stereo mix and multitrack recording options. It can record a ready-to-use stereo mix while preserving separate channel files for later editing. Its maximum simultaneous recording capacity is 11 tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZoom equips the P4next with TONE, COMP, and AI Noise Reduction processing to help manage spoken-word recordings at the source. TONE applies podcast-oriented voice shaping, while COMP helps control large changes in vocal level. AI Noise Reduction is designed to suppress surrounding noise picked up by the microphone inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor hybrid and mobile production, the P4next connects through USB-C as a 12-in\/2-out USB audio interface for computers, smartphones, and tablets. Its TRRS smartphone jack supports two-way call audio with mix-minus behavior to reduce echo for a remote guest. Four sound pads provide quick access to intros, effects, and user-loaded audio during recording or streaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour XLR Mic Inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connect up to four microphones for local podcast participants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Gain Preamps:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to +70 dB input gain supports low-output microphones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndependent Headphone Outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four stereo outputs include separate volume controls for each listener.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoice Processing:\u003c\/strong\u003e TONE, COMP, and AI Noise Reduction support clearer spoken-word audio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMultitrack WAV Recording:\u003c\/strong\u003e Record a stereo mix and individual channels to microSD media.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB-C Audio Interface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sends 12 inputs and receives two outputs over USB 2.0.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe P4next uses a compact, control-forward desktop layout measuring 125.9 mm wide, 120 mm deep, and 40 mm high.
