The recording has overloaded and I don't think that it will be possible to repair.
To avoid the problem next time, turn the "Mic Gain" switch on the side of the H2 to "L" (Low). If when you do that the recording level is too low, increase the recording level using the >> button on the front.

In that case I think that either the switch may be faulty, or it slipped to a different position when you were recording. Try testing the Zoom at Low/Medium/High settings - the recording at the Low setting should be considerably quieter than at Medium. I've recorded some very loud rock music on my Zoom H2 (set to Low) without distorting, but your recording shows clear signs of overloading.

One other thought - were you recording using the internal microphones?

the Zoom at Low/Medium/High settings is OK. I set INPUT in ZOOM H2 at 80% and set LIMITER3(studio) :roll:

I tested it at HOME and problem was LOW CUT-filter !!!

That's not a feature that I've tested at high volume - the only time I've used that is when close mic'ing speech when I've not had a pop shield available.
It seems like a bad design fault if the low cut filter causes distortion at high volume (thanks for the warning - I'll be sure to test that out when I get a suitable opportunity).

Unfortunately the result remains the same that the distortion cannot be fixed in post-production. You may be able to reduce the bad effects by experimenting with different Equalizer settings, but I doubt that you will be able to achieve much improvement.
