That's why they also sell something called the H4.

No, the fact that too few people used the XLRs and phantom power drove
them to building the H2 without. All in all, unless you really need
features of the H4 that the H2 doesn't provide, the H2 is a far better
product. It's easier to use than the H4, the mics are more versatile
and they sound better, and it'll probably not break as soon.

"Specs" have little meaning in a product like this. It's performance
and usability that count, and I think the H2 does a good job. Would I
sell the Nagra? No. But I'd buy an H2 and use it for things it does
best.
