There is a switchable pickup angle between the left and right channels so the user can select 90 degrees for a single voice or a single instrument, while a pickup angle of 120 degrees would be more suited to several voices or instruments arranged across stage. The cardioid pattern is also switchable into front, rear and omni directions, and as such 360 degree sound can be recorded as 2 channel or 4-channel data simultaneously.
The H2 has an integral USB interface with an audio interface function, making it usable as a USB microphone. The H2 uses WAV 96kHz/48kHz/44.1kHz and MP3 up to 320kbps VBR data format. The EXT MIC IN feature allows the connection of external powered microphones, and the H2 also has a time stamp function for recordings. It is also possible to use PC authoring software to arrange 4 channel data into the Dolby 5.1 surround sound format.
