Four XLR inputs with 70 dB gain
The Zoom PodTrak P4next is a portable multitrack podcast recorder built for creators who need four microphone channels in a single compact unit. Each XLR input provides up to 70 dB of gain with 48 V phantom power, so dynamic and condenser microphones can be used without external preamps. The recorder captures a stereo mix and four individual tracks simultaneously at 48 kHz / 24-bit resolution directly to a microSD card. It suits solo hosts, round-table shows and field reporters who want broadcast-grade audio without a computer.
AI noise reduction and tone shaping
AI noise reduction learns and removes hums, buzzes and street noise for clear, natural speech while recording. Tone shaping adds warmth and clarity with EQ and de-essing, and a built-in compressor smooths sudden level changes from shouts, laughter or whispers. Four headphone outputs each have independent volume controls so every participant can monitor the mix in real time. Voice guidance reads menu items aloud, letting you navigate settings without looking at the screen.
Two remote guests via USB, BT or TRRS
The recorder connects two remote guests through USB, Bluetooth or a TRRS cable and applies automatic mix-minus to remove echo. Power comes from AA batteries or USB, so sessions can continue away from mains outlets. A microSD card up to 2 TB stores hours of multitrack audio. Podcasters who need more than four local microphones or who require built-in sound-effect pads will need a larger console.

Questions about this item
How do I connect microphones and avoid the gain-setting mistake?
Plug each mic into one of the four XLR inputs, engage 48 V phantom power if the mic needs it, then set the gain knob so peaks stay well below 0 dBFS — the pre-amps offer up to +70 dB, so many users crank it too high and clip.
What will need replacing after heavy use?
The AA cells that power the unit away from USB will need fresh batteries; the microSD card (up to 2 TB) may eventually wear out, but no internal fan, drive or other consumable part is specified.
What limits recording time during long sessions?
Card capacity is the first ceiling — a 2 TB card holds many hours at 48 kHz / 24-bit, but once the card fills recording stops until you swap or offload files.
