I have had mine about four months , and several of my friends now own one because they were recorded on mine . I am a musician and have used and owned every recording device you can think of , but this and the h2 are the only ones I like to use on the H4n The phantom power quit working and the preamps on the XLR inputs clip / distort or whatever , and I dont buy that excuse to only hook up to tape out not main outs , must be a controler defect on the mic input gain who know who cares just needs to be fixed . I sent it into Zoom for repair $20 for shipping and insurance UPS The folks on the phone are friendly and seem to be in the know , so far so good , But , only time will tell , I would still buy another one , think about it a good stairio mic alone with a good cable cost more than this . I just hope it holds up thanx arlo H4n Phantom power

A: Yes. When the 2 GB (*1) file size is reached during recording, the H4n stores the file and then opens a new file for further recording. Recording will not be interrupted during this process. By joining the resulting files using waveform editing software on a computer, a seamless long-term recording can be created. (*1) Normally, the maximum size for a WAV file is set to 2 GB. Files larger than 2 GB may not be recognized correctly by media player software or other audio software on a computer. I haven’t tested it yet, but in the FAQ page of the H4n says:
