Take the hassle out of multitrack audio with the Zoom H5 Handy Recorder. This compact unit records four tracks simultaneously, so it's easy to capture podcast interviews, live performances or audio for video.
The H5 comes with an XYH-5 X/Y microphone capsule, which features two matched unidirectional condenser microphones for effortless live stereo recording. With its heavy-duty shockmount and rugged, isolated design, the capsule reduces unwanted noise in the field. Alternatively, switch out the XYH-5 for any of Zoom's H5 interchangeable input capsules for greater versatility. Two additional combo XLR/TRS inputs provide convenient connections for additional mics or line-level signals.
During a session, adjust track settings within seconds with the easily accessible buttons on the H5's front panel. Clearly marked arming buttons and a dedicated gain control knob for each input lets you control audio levels and ensure ease of use. A large backlit LCD panel displays each configuration clearly in any light, so you can use the H5 for outdoor interviews or dark shooting locations. Protect your settings while you record by flipping the hold switch, which disables all of the front-panel buttons.
