Zoom PodTrak P4next Portable Multitrack Podcast Recorder

Bring your podcast together, wherever you record

The Zoom PodTrak P4next combines four XLR microphone inputs, multitrack recording and voice-processing tools in a compact podcast recorder. Set up a round-table conversation, bring in remote guests or connect to your phone for video content, with dedicated controls that keep the focus on the conversation.

Clear voices, less distraction

AI noise reduction learns and reduces unwanted background noise, while the Tone function combines EQ and de-essing to shape your voice. A built-in compressor helps balance changes in volume. Each XLR input provides up to 70 dB of gain, with +48 V phantom power available for compatible condenser microphones.

A place for every guest

Four headphone outputs with individual volume controls let everyone monitor comfortably. Bring in up to two remote guests through supported USB, TRRS or optional Bluetooth connections, alongside three local microphone inputs for a five-person podcast. Built-in mix-minus helps prevent callers hearing their own audio returned to them. Bluetooth connection requires the separately available Zoom BTA-2 adapter.
