Zoom PodTrak P4next
Take the conversation with you.
Portable four-mic setup. No guesswork.
Our portable pick when the show needs up to four XLR microphones without a full-size desk console. Four headphone feeds let everyone monitor their own voice.
Choose it for
Interviews on location, a show that travels, or a compact four-mic recording setup.
Look elsewhere if
You want physical faders and a permanent production desk. Compare the Duo for two XLR mics or the Pro II for four.
What you’re getting.

The trade-off: Knobs, not long faders. Bluetooth requires the optional BTA-2 adapter; check the manual's channel routing before planning remote guests.
The board is the start.
These links are for the console or recorder—not a complete studio kit. Plan microphones, XLR cables, stands, headphones, compatible recording media, and any adapters separately.
Match your headphones to the 3.5mm connections. Check battery, USB-power, and optional Bluetooth requirements before recording on location.
Sound pads are not microphone inputs. USB-only microphones do not connect directly to XLR sockets. Make and play back a short test recording before your show.
Keep the other options in view.
