Zoom H5 4-Track Portable Recorder for Audio for Video, Music, and Podcasting, Stereo Microphones, 2 XLR/TRS Inputs, USB Audio Interface, Battery Powered

Product Information

Backup-Record lets you record a duplicate set of L/R tracks with 12db less input gain, which helps you protect your recordings. A shotgun mic will be extremely directional, but you can place it much farther away from the speaker, without adding Echo, or noise.

XLR combination inputs to give the user additional inputs to their compatible Zoom recording device. The supplied XYH-5 X/Y capsule also provides a secondary input for connecting stereo mic- or line-level signal via a 1/8-inch mini phone jack. The MSH-6 Capsule contains dual mic elements - a forward-facing, unidirectional mic (the 'Mid') and a side-facing, bi-directional mic (the 'Side'). The front facing edge of the H8 has a power/hold switch, remote jack port for Zoom BTA-1 connection; micro-B USB port for connection to iOS or iPadOS device or optional Zoom AD-17 power supply; 3.

A prime example of someone who doesn’t need an H5 would be a podcaster who records solo or online interview episodes directly into their computer with a USB mic.

Optional accessories: SPH-1N Accessory Pack, WSU-1 universal hairy windscreen, HS-1 hot shoe mount, MA-2 tripod to mic stand adapter, AD-17 AC adapter. Four tracks of simultaneous recording and interchangeable mic capsules make the H5 flexible and powerful enough to meet the evolving needs of today’s creators. For example, the supplied XYH-5 interchangeable microphone capsule can be used to record live performances.I previously owned a Zoom H4n and got the H5 because it is smaller, lighter and has the flexability of recording up to 4 tracks and has the interchangeable mics. This has nothing to do with Zoom H5, and it will be constant regardless of what interface you’re using.

Please consider our opening times if you will need to collect the equipment the afternoon before or drop it off the morning after. There’s never a dull moment on the equipment front; sound companies release different bits of kit all the time. The right side of the unit has the SD card slot, menu button, scroll/enter jog wheel and socket to connect the cabled remote control.

Zoom H5 comes with just a few basic accessories, and among those we can find a carrying case, and a windshield. The H5's internal mixdown function lets you adjust levels and pans as you blend four tracks down to stereo. The flexible and powerful H5 provides everything you need to create multitrack recordings, audio for video, state-of-the-art podcasting, broadcasting and electronic newsgathering.

Most videos since then have had their audio recorded using the newer and improved Zoom F6 which will also be reviewed in writing on Audiophile-Heaven soon. These mics are housed within an advanced shockmount that employs rugged external mic wires and rubberized material to minimize vibration and handling noise, making the XYH-5 ideal for location videography and live broadcast/podcast applications.
