Zoom H5 audio recorder

Zoom H5 - For those in between

The Zoom H5 is a portable audio recorder and USB audio interface with a detachable and interchangeable microphone system. The recorder comes with an X/Y microphone, foam windscreen, 2 AA batteries, USB cable, and a hard carrying case. In addition, you can optionally purchase accessories to expand your repertoire.

Zoom H5 is ideal for documentaries, podcasts, video sound, and professional sound design. The portable recorder allows for fast and slick four-track audio sampling, whatever your experience level. With an interchangeable mic capsule, versatile dual-channel inputs, and up to 4-track simultaneous recording, the H5 is user-friendly and easily expandable.

Like other H-series Handy recorders such as H4n Pro and H6, the H5 fits in the hand and is sufficient for recording live performances, even when mounted on a microphone stand or tripod. The H5 is packed with amazing features in a rugged rubber body that's ready to take on the challenges of a wide range of users.

The battery life is generous and the sound processing is of high quality. Interviews, dialogues and sound effects are all recorded in very high quality. You can connect a phantom-powered mic or a direct connection from synthesizers , drum machines or +4 dB line level mixers. Whatever your audio source, selectable auto recording and pre-recording ensure you don't miss a take and a stereo backup track duplicates tracks at lower levels to prevent distortion.

Flexible system

Zoom H5 enables a wide range of recording methods, offering many solutions out of the box. The included XYH-6 XY mic capsule is a two-way condenser mic module, and is designed for recording accurate, phase-corrected audio. The input angles of the module can be adjusted between 90 degrees or 120 degrees for a wide stereo image.

In situations where you want stereo image adjustment after recording, you can swap the XY mic module MSH-6 for a centre-side stereo mic module. Despite its appearance, the mid module contains two elements that are superimposed: a one-way mic pointing straight ahead (centre) and a two-way mic pointing to the side (side). In addition to allowing adjustment of the stereo image after recording, MS recording also allows for true mono compatibility, which is important for TV productions, for example.
