About Zoom H1essential

By Maria I.

THIS HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL TO SAVE RECORDSING FROM WEDDINGS.

You can capture pristine audio effortlessly with the H1essential 2-Track 32-Bit Float Handy Recorder, a must-have tool for musicians, podcasters, filmmakers, and content creators. With just a simple push of a button, this advanced recorder harnesses the power of 32-bit float technology, capturing every subtle detail of your sound without the need for level adjustments.

Designed with inclusivity in mind, the H1essential is the first in the Essential Series to offer accessibility features for the blind and visually impaired. Users can easily navigate the menu with audible descriptions available in seven languages - English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian, and Chinese - through the built-in speaker or headphones.

The H1essential's onboard X/Y microphones are capable of capturing clean, clear audio up to 120 dB SPL, equivalent to the roar of a high-performance engine. This makes it an indispensable tool for musicians looking to record rehearsals, filmmakers seeking to capture authentic sound effects, and podcasters needing a reliable device for sit-down conversations or 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 via the USB-C Port, it doubles as a best-in-class USB microphone, recording directly to the SD card.

The H1essential's soft touch controls have been meticulously designed for quiet operation. It also includes a built-in speaker for quick reference playback, a 3.5mm output for camera connection or headphone monitoring, and a 3.5mm mic/line input compatible with lavalier microphones for dialogue capture.

Navigating the H1essential's interface is a breeze, thanks to its high-contrast OLED screen. A dedicated Marker button allows you to set reference points instantly during recording. Plus, with support for SDXC cards up to 1TB, you can record hours of audio without worrying about storage space.

This bundle also includes the TASL500 Lav Microphone and HA-OM-L Lav Microphone, enhancing your audio recording capabilities even further. Capture your sound in its purest form with the H1essential 2-Track 32-Bit Float Handy Recorder.
