A Portable Camera That
Sounds Great

High-resolution 24-bit/96 kHz audio delivers studio-quality recording, no matter where you?re filming. And the camera?s built-in X/Y microphones can handle sound pressure levels up to 120 dB SPL, for distortion-free?recording.

It Can Handle the Pressure

Since the Q2n can handle high sound pressure levels, it records loud music without distortion or clipping. Famed drummer Dave Weckl relies on his Q2n to capture full and beautifully balanced snare, bass, tom, and cymbal?detail.

Capture Your Best Moments
in Any Lighting

Ten “Scene” presets allow you to record in a wide range of environments, including low-light locations where the Q2n is designed to thrive. The presets range from “Concert Light”?which automatically adjusts for changing lighting conditions?to “Concert Lo-Lit” for dimly lit rooms. And there are scene settings tailored specifically for filming in jazz clubs and rehearsal studios, as well as?outdoors.

Up Close and Personal

The Q2n features a 160-degree wide-angle lens that captures stunning video. And it records in 720p or 1080p HD resolution, using the same 24 fps or 30 fps frame rate used in film. An F2.0 aperture makes the Q2n perfect for musicians who perform in a wide variety of lighting environments. Capture the full band or focus on an individual performer using five field of view (FOV) settings. Plus, a color LCD screen makes it easy to create the perfect shot or review your?videos.

Small Enough to Go Everywhere

 

The Q2n is small enough to carry anywhere, so you?ll always be prepared to capture impromptu performances or record new ideas. It records up to two hours of footage on two standard AA batteries, providing more than enough juice for concerts, rehearsals, jam sessions, and?more.

Capture the Essence of Your Music

For an acoustic guitarist, nothing’s more important than mic placement. Placing the Q2n ten feet away from your guitar achieves beautiful stereo sound. For more nuanced string sound and finger/neck detail, place the Q2n within three feet of your?guitar.
