Like
all Zoom recorders, the H1's onboard microphones are configured in an
X/Y pattern for stunning stereo imaging. Because both mics are arranged
on the same axis, they are equidistant from the sound source for perfect
localization & no phase shifting. The result is great stereo
recordings with natural depth & accurate imaging.
The H1's built-in
directional microphones focus on the sound being recorded. Unlike
omnidirectional microphones, which pick up sound all around
indiscriminately, the H1 mics ignore the unwanted noise behind them.
The high-quality
built-in preamp can be set to a recording level from 1 & 100. Set the
recording level based on your specific needs. You can record anything
from subtle nature sounds to a thunderous rock b&. You can also
achieve clear, undistorted recordings by enabling the AUTO LEVEL
function.
The H1 can record
linear PCM (WAV) files at 24-bit/96 k Hz, which far exceeds CD quality,
allowing the delicate reverberations of natural sounds & acoustic
instruments to be recorded faithfully. The H1 can also record in MP3
format to maximize the recording time. These formats are perfect for the
web posting or e-mailing to your fans.
Using
compact & readily-available micro SD cards as recording media, you can
use up to a 32 GB micro SDHC card to record about 50 hours of audio in
16-bit/44.1 k Hz WAV format or 555 hours in 128 kbps MP3 format.
Use the
onboard low-cut filter to reduce unwanted background noise & focus the
recording. This is ideal for interviews & recording outdoors. Use the
optional windscreen to further reduce noise.
The H1's
stereo microphone input jack can provide plug-in power, allowing you to
utilize additional mics as needed for your specific application &
situation. Moreover, this jack accepts stereo line-level inputs to be
used in capturing audio from cassette decks, record players & other
analog sources.
Because it records
in Broadcast Wave Format (BWF), the H1 is ideal for journalists &
other professional media. Each recording is stamped with the date &
time of its creation & up to 99 track markers or cue points can be
added. These functions make managing & editing recordings a breeze.
Use the
built-in reference speaker to check the results of your recordings right
away without the need for headphones. This reference speaker makes
selecting a recorded file easy. Its backlit liquid crystal display
allows you to check recording levels & other functions, including
recording time, battery level & other information.
Since it
meets Hi-Speed USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 specifications, the H1 can quickly transfer
files to any Mac or PC computer. Once your recordings have been
transferred on to your computer, you can edit them in DAW software,
create original CDs, post them on your social media sites & send files
by e-mail.
The H1
has dedicated control buttons for setting the recording format,
activating the low-cut filter & implementing automatic level
adjustment. The menu-free, streamlined design of the H1 makes it easy to
use right from the start.
The
compact, lightweight H1 is perfect for use on a video or DSLR camera.
The remarkable depth & clarity of sound achieved by the stereo X/Y mic
design brings additional realism & depth to HD video. By combining
the H1 with a DSLR video camera, you can create a professional video
system with high-quality sound.
10 hours
of continuous recording can be attained with a single AA alkaline
battery. With the optional AC adapter, you can record for prolonged
periods of time without worrying about the battery level. The H1 can
also operate on USB (Universal Serial Bus) bus power when the card reader function is
activated.
Now Zoom
recording technology is available to everyone. & with an infinite
variety of applications, you'll want to take your H1 everywhere. From
musical performances, songwriting sessions & rehearsals to seminars,
conferences, journalism or capturing audio for video applications, the
H1 gives you clean, clear stereo sound effortlessly.
