Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can, but it doesn’t provide phantom power, so you’ll need a condenser mic with battery or plug-in power.
While usable, the LMF-1 lav is best suited for speech and dialogue; it lacks the detail and frequency response for high-quality musical recordings.
The F1-LP is a more budget-conscious option; the H4n Pro offers superior preamps and more robust features, but the F1-LP provides surprisingly good results for its class.
