Look As Good As You Sound

Point: Easily capture your full band or solo act using five field of view (FOV) settings.

Aim: The Q2n-4K’s 150-degree lens and color LCD make it easy to frame the perfect shot. 

Capture: At the touch of a button, the Q2n-4K captures premium video recordings at up to 4K Ultra HD resolution.

Sound As Good As You Look: You work hard to cultivate your sound. The Q2n-4K’s X/Y stereo microphones are designed to handle everything from saxophone to heavy metal.

The Camera for Lights & Action

Stage lights can overexpose your video and can ruin a good take. The Q2n-4K’s high dynamic range (HDR) technology automatically adjusts the exposure, so your lighting effects don’t blow out the shot.

Setting the Scene

12 ‘Scene’ presets allow you to record your performances in a wide range of environments, including “Jazz Club”, “Concert Light”, “Dance Club” and “Outdoor”. The Q2n-4K even features an “Auto” scene setting, which will detect your current lighting and select the appropriate balance for you.

Monitoring

Monitor your audio via headphones with the Q2n-4K’s 1/8” stereo output jack. 

Live Stream with Great Audio
