I have owned a Zoom H2 for just over six months and always used it in 16 bit 44000 mode. I have never had a problem with it. However yesterday, I did some recording in 24 bit 96000 hz mode and while the recording was not distorted, I got audible clicks that seemed fairly regular.
Any idea why I might get these? They're apparent even with playback on the H2. At first, I thought that the clicks would disappear when I work on them either with Audacity or Reaper, but they're still there.
Thanks,
Charlie
I'd return it.
Are you running the latest firmware (v1.90)?

You're probably pushing it too hard. Have a look at page 62 in the manual
Make sure the SD card is fast enough to handle the data requirements of 24/96 recording. I remember the 512 MB one that I got with my H2 was absolute crap and had to be discarded.

96/24 stereo recording is just 72KB/s, trivial for an SD card. Even slower class 2 cards can sustain 2 MB/s.

So it's compressed 8:1 ?

Opps, should be 576Kb/s. Not sure how I divided by 8 twice.

Are you hearing the clicks or seeing the clicks in the data?
