  • ZOOM H2essential Multi-Mic Handy Recorder: the ZOOM (company name, and no affiliation with the Zoom, the video conferencing software) makes an excellent portable audio recorder for the price (roughly $250 CDN after tax), called the H2essential Multi-Mic Handy Recorder. This recorder runs on AA batteries, and is about the size of a cellphone. It is designed for interviews, music, field recordings, and more. ZOOM’s H2N Handy Recorder (discontinued) is also excellent, and you might still be able to find one on Ebay. Finally, check out the ZOOM H1n Portable Recorder, which is cheaper (roughly $150 CDN), smaller, and with fewer options, but is a great audio-recording upgrade compared to a smartphone.
