I hope this is of interest, we have a couple of customers successfully
using our FEL 3.5 Series Preamps with the Zoom H2 to reduce the
problem of the noisy internal preamps. The FEL preamp is extremely
low noise and boosts the output level of the mic by 20dB. This means
you can run the recorder with its level control at 20 dB less, hence
improving the signal to noise performance. The preamps work from Plug
in Power so they do not need batteries and are extremely small and light.

up to it?
