How to Use Zoom H2 As an Audio Interface

You can use the Zoom H2 as an audio interface to record audio to your computer. An audio interface is a device that lets you import an audio signal or file to your computer, or export it from your computer. Not only can you use the H2 to record on the road or in the field, you can also connect it to your computer via USB to record your music or words directly to your audio software.
