Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

A good learning tool

For the price, this is a good item. It records well, the software converts the files to various 360 degree formats well, the bluetooth accessory works. It is somewhat noisy if you are trying to push the mic preamps. It is small and good for getting some ambiences. A great tool to learn how to do 360 degree audio.

VR Audio, You've Arrived.

Whether you're a game developer, filmmaker or musician, virtual reality is the undeniable future of content creation. While 360-video is exploding in popularity, the ability to easily create 360-audio has lagged behind...until now.

VR Audio, You've Arrived.

A New Way To Go From A to B.

In the past, capturing VR audio required a dedicated Ambisonic mic, a separate recorder and a computer for encoding the audio from raw Ambisonics A format to VR-ready Ambisonics B format. Now, with the H3-VR, all of the encoding and decoding is done on board, saving time, money and effort at every step.

A New Way To Go From A to B.

Ambisonics Audio for VR.

The H3-VR's 4-capsule Ambisonic mic captures precise 360-degree VR audio recordings up to 24 bit/96 kHz. And without ever connecting to a computer, the onboard decoder allows you to export Ambisonics B-format files directly.

Ambisonics Audio for VR.

Binaural 3D Stereo.

The H3-VR also records stereo binaural WAV files up to 24 bit/48 kHz. Stereo binaural provides a hyper-realistic spatial recording that enhances 2D productions with 3D audio.

Binaural 3D Stereo.

Standard Stereo.

The H3-VR even offers standard stereo recording for recordings that will be played out of speakers rather than headphones.

Standard Stereo.

One Stop VR Audio.

The Zoom H3-VR virtual reality audio recorder is the complete solution for capturing and processing spatial audio for VR, AR and mixed-reality content. With a built-in Ambisonic mic, recorder and decoder, the H3-VR puts 360-audio in the palm of your hand.

One Stop VR Audio.

5.1ch Surround for Video
Free to download, ZOOM Ambisonics Player software can easily convert Ambisonics audio to a 5.1ch surround file that is pre-aligned to the proper speakers and is exported to your video or audio editor for syncing with standard video.

Live Streaming 360
The H3-VR also enables you to live stream events in 360 degrees so that wherever your fans are, they'll have access to the best seats in the house.

Fits Anywhere. Captures Everything
The H3-VR's compact, conical design captures audio from multiple angles without getting in the way of the camera or the action.

6-Axis Motion Sensor
Auto Mic Position and Level Detection make placing the H3-VR simple. Whether positioned upright, upside down, endfire or endfire inverted, the H3-VR automatically calibrates so your audio and video are already aligned for post.

Upgrade Your Game Experience
The slam of dungeon doors, growl of monsters or howl of the wind can make or break a player's fantasy. With the ability to capture high-quality in-game audio, you can elevate your player's experience to new levels.

Monitoring & Playback
Monitor your audio live in stereo binaural or use the H3-VR's onboard Ambisonics Decoding to simulate your recorded 360-experience during playback.

Streaming and More
Per fect for live streaming, video conferencing, direct recording and more, the H3-VR's audio interface mode turns it into a USB 360 mic for your computer or stereo mic for your iOS device.

Out of the Shot But in Control
Staying out of the shot can be tricky when recording a 360-degree video, which is why the H3 Control App lets you remotely access transport controls, level settings and metadata notes right from your iOS device.

360 deg. Post-Production Made Easy
The H3-VR's companion ZOOM Ambisonics Player software takes the work out of post-production by easily converting your Ambisonics files to Stereo, Binaural, 5.1ch surround and more. Play, trim, re-orientate and export your audio files in minutes.
