Portable Multitrack Podcast Recorder
The Zoom PodTrak P4next is a compact recorder designed for podcasters, livestreamers and mobile creators who need professional results without studio infrastructure. It captures 48 kHz 24-bit audio to microSD cards up to 2TB and saves individual tracks for detailed editing. Four XLR inputs provide up to 70 dB gain with 48V phantom power for dynamics and condensers. Host three in-person participants and two remote guests via USB, Bluetooth or TRRS with automatic mix-minus.
AI Noise Reduction and Power Options
AI noise reduction learns and removes hums, buzzes and environmental distractions to keep speech clear during interviews and on-location episodes. Built-in tone shaping adds warmth while compression smooths sudden peaks for consistent levels without external processors. The unit runs for hours on AA batteries or indefinitely via USB power, giving creators flexible energy choices for studio sessions or field work.
Four Headphone Outputs and Sound Pads
Four headphone outputs with independent volume controls let every participant monitor comfortably during recording sessions. Four programmable sound pads streamline intros, transitions and effects for a smoother live workflow. The bundle includes a Zoom ZDM-1 podcast microphone, a 10 ft XLR cable, wire straps and a microfibre cleaning cloth so users can start recording immediately.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the ZDM-1 mic and headphones to the PodTrak P4next, and which step is often missed?
Plug the ZDM-1 into any of the four XLR inputs using the supplied 10 ft cable, enable 48 V phantom power on that channel, then connect headphones to one of the four headphone outputs and set its independent volume; the step people miss is turning on phantom power before speaking.
What consumable part will need replacement during long recording sessions?
The recorder runs on AA batteries; keep spares handy because they are the only user-replaceable power source during extended use away from USB power.
What recording limit appears first when capturing a full day of multitrack audio?
The microSD card capacity caps at 2 TB, so continuous 48 kHz / 24-bit multitrack recording will hit that storage ceiling before battery life becomes the bottleneck.
