NOte: Still learning abut the Zoom H2.  Used the 4-mic, front and back surround sound option.  Zoom allows for the frnot and back set of mics to be saved in 2 files, and/or a blend.  I kept the original 2 files, but then blended themm.  This is the blended version.  However, I predominantly used the front speakers.  What I did learn, is that if you reduce the recording level, you get a processed file which is generally not desireable.  I highly recommend setting the recording level at 100 and then using either low or medium gain (if doesn't allow sound to clip).  Sound levels can be adjusted after the fact - no need to have the Zoom do it, thus reducing your own options later.
