About this deal

Recording features including tone generator for calibration, auto-record, pre-record, self-time record, overdubbing, and one-touch record button make recording quicker and less challenging; whilst playback controls include consistent pitch speed control for easier transcribing, voice emphasize filter, and stereo bouncing functionality. Maximum recording time is dependent upon the card size and file type; for example, the supplied 2GB SD card can hold approximately fourteen hours of stereo 320kbps MP3 files, three hours of stereo 16-bit / 44. You can change the gain by using the two wheels at the front, for the XLr inputs, or the wheel on the XY mic module at the top, to change its gain. May feel redundant, but I actually used it for my Lotoo Paw S1 outdoor video while using a wireless Lav mic. With nothing more than the H5, you're set to record speech, practice sessions, concerts, or ambient and environmental sounds, even ear-rattling ones up to 140 dB!

You can configure H2n in either XY or MS mode, but it still can’t compete with the quality of H5, regardless how you configure it.

In addition to the dedicated side-panel headphone volume control, the level of the line output can be adjusted via the menu, allowing you to optimize the signal level being sent to your camera without the need for an attenuator cable. dB SPL, equivalent to the sound of a jet aircraft from less than 200 feet away, enables you to capture sounds louder, closer, and cleaner than you ever could before. A lightweight 'ultra-portable' device, aimed at broadcast, journalism and live performance applications, the H2n has an 'intuitive and hierarchical' user interface with common menu functions easily available.

To silence this subject once and for all, multiple sources from the music creation department actually told me that cables do make a difference, and studios do rely on different cables for different jobs. If you need more help with choosing your equipment, or with literally any other aspect of your podcast, check out Podcraft Academy. The Zoom H5 is a digital audio recording device that saves audio onto a Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) card – the same kind of card used with most digital cameras. SGH-6 is a shotgun microphone capsule designed to capture audio front the front of the microphone and reject audio from the side or rear. It will pick up handling noise moderately, but if you stay still and not move a lot, you won’t notice it.

By keeping the previous two seconds of audio whenever you press the record button, the pre-record option ensures that you'll never cut off the beginning of a great take. Even the Panasonic GH5 is worlds below the performance of Zoom H5 when it comes to anything audio, so you can vastly improve the quality of your video if using something like Zoom H5. 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. Slightly too large to consider “pocket size”, the Zoom H5 still fits easily in your hand, and weighs less than your average cup of takeaway coffee. Batteries containing pollutants can be identified by the symbol of a crossed-out wheeled bin and the chemical symbol (Cd = cadmium; Hg = mercury; Pb = lead) of the metal essential for classification.

Although it is a bit heavy for this, the Zoom H5 can be mounted on a microphone stand, as it has a 1 / 4 thread on the back.If you happen to setup external microphones in a mid-side configuration, the integrated MS decoder allows adjustment to the perceived width of the stereo image, which is beneficial for sound design, broadcasting, or general stereo-to-mono compatibility. Zoom SSH-6 microphone capsule features a ‘super-directional’ microphone element for capturing audio in the front or centre, and a bi-directional microphone element to capture audio from the left and right of the capsule. It’s a sturdy and robust feeling device, built for years of ongoing use in all sorts of scenarios and situations. These items are extension cables designed to give the user the option of remote mounting their Zoom microphone/input capsules for better placement. There's playback looping, pitch change and variable playback speed (without pitch change) to help with phrase training.

is really poor for scene recording, and for recording anything that is not a human talker, or an instrument. Whether you plan on recording studio condenser mics, a stereo feed from a mixer or wireless receiver, or a lavalier mic for an interview, the H5's preamps (identical to those found in the H6) are ready to deliver low-noise (-120 dB EIN) performance. Record continuously for about 10 hours with just 2 AA batteries or extend your recording time indefinitely with the optional AD-17 AC adapter.

A rotary gain controller, with guard to avoid accidental adjustment, is positioned on the top of the microphone base for easy adjustment. This unit is mine, I purchased it personally, and been using it to create the videos you’ve been seeing at www.

The sound quality was quite a bit better than my smartphone, a Xiaomi Poco F2 PRO at that moment, so all in all, I have been happy with the performance of the Zoom H5 for this too.
