Zoom H2 vs Alesis Palmtrack?

Post by Freddy V-C »

My parents were planning on buying me a Zoom H2 recorder for Christmas, but have now found an Alesis Palmtrack for considerably cheaper. They seem to have all the same features, so basically what I'm asking is:

Has anyone used an Alesis Palmtrack?
Is the quality as good as a Zoom H2?

i had an H2 and loved it.

then i bought a TASCAM DR-07 from guitar center on crazy sale for 99 bucks.


recording quality is mo betta, menu is easier to navigate, and it feels like a actual piece of equipment when you hold it, not a toy.

This is an old topic I guess. I ended up getting the Zoom H2 and I love it. Recorded some drums with it today and they sound amazing!

it's HD video and stereo audio. we'll probably end up using it for gigs. munches batteries like nobody's business though.
