The internal mic is top but I took this thing to 99% only as a line recorder, thus 2 times Big jack or 1 x 3.5 it is available and if all else fails even XLR for mic or line to transport clients is set correctly my first prize money choice! Had years the Zoom H2n and needed in this ever Master 2 out since Rec out too loud! When H4n no problem! TOP!
