With a simple push of a button, this device captures pristine audio, harnessing the power of 32-bit float recording. This advanced feature ensures that you never have to adjust levels, capturing every subtle detail of your sound for high-quality audio with every take.
This Handy Recorder is the first in the Essential Series, designed with accessibility in mind for the blind and visually impaired. Users can navigate the menu with audible descriptions through the built-in speaker or headphones, with language options including English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian, and Chinese.
The H1essential's onboard X/Y microphones are capable of capturing clean audio up to 120 dB SPL, equivalent to the sound of a high-performance engine. This makes it an indispensable tool for creators across various fields. Musicians can use it to record rehearsals, leveraging features like overdubbing and playback-speed-adjustment to improve their performance. Filmmakers can record and send audio directly to their camera or use it to record sound effects, while podcasters can mount it on a tripod for sit-down conversations or use 'mono mode' for on-the-go interviews.
Despite its compact size, the H1essential is packed with advanced features such as overdubbing, pre-record, auto record, and playback speed adjustment. When connected to a PC, Mac, iOS, or Android device using the USB-C Port, it doubles as a best-in-class USB microphone while simultaneously recording to the SD card.
The H1essential is designed with soft touch controls for quiet operation and a built-in speaker for quick reference of your recordings. It's camera-friendly with a 3.5mm output for connecting to a camera or plugging in headphones to monitor audio. It's also lavalier-ready with a 3.5 mm mic/line input for dialogue capture.
The high-contrast OLED screen makes it easy to navigate through the H1essential's simple interface. A dedicated Marker button allows you to instantly set reference points while recording. With support for SDXC cards up to 1TB, you can record hours of audio without worrying about storage capacity.
In this bundle, you also get a TASL500 Lavalier Microphone, a headset extension cable, and 4x AAA batteries, making the H1essential 2-Track 32-Bit Float Handy Recorder a comprehensive solution for all your audio recording needs.
