The Zoom Q4n allows for two different stereo recording techniques: the X/Y technique, which uses two crossing directional mics to provide a three-dimensional sound with natural depth and width, and the A/B technique, which uses two spread-apart directional mics to provide a wide sense of stereo and capture the surrounding environment.
