Zoom H-5 Portable Digital Recorder

Our products are constantly evolving to meet the needs of the creators who use them. With the H5 Handy Recorder, the tradition continues. The H5 offers four tracks of simultaneous recording and, like our flagship H6, can use all interchangeable Zoom input capsules, allowing you to choose the best microphone for each recording situation.

The flexible and powerful H5 provides everything you need to create multi-track recordings, audio for video and next-generation podcasting, broadcasting and electronic news gathering.

X/Y recording allows you to cover a wide area but still capture sound sources in the center with clarity and definition, making it ideal for all types of live stereo recording. The XYH-5 X/Y microphone capsule included with the H5 provides two unidirectional condenser microphones paired at a 90-degree angle.

These are housed within an advanced shockmount that employs robust external microphone cables and rubber material to isolate the unit from the H5 body to minimize vibration and handling noise.

The design of the Capture sounds louder, closer and cleaner than you could before.
