Zoom H5 4-Input / 4-Track Portable Handy Recorder with Interchangeable X/Y

THIS PHOTO4LESS TOP VALUE ACCESSORY KIT INCLUDES: Zoom H5 4-Input / 4-Track Portable Handy Recorder - SanDisk 32GB Ultra SDHC... moreUHS-I Memory Card - Vidpro Professional Lavalier Condenser Microphone - 4 AA Batteries & Charger - Table Tripod Hand Grip - Photo4Less Black Cleaning Cloth FAST, USER-FRIENDLY OPERABILITY: The H5's front panel is ergonomically arranged with its most essential and commonly used controls—transport buttons for record, play/pause, stop, back, and forward operations, individual record-arm buttons that double as mute switches during playback, and large gain knobs. For added safety, a hold switch disables all front-panel buttons to prevent accidental operation during recording. INTERCHANGEBLE STEREO MICROPHONE CAPSULE: Leave your external mics at home and travel light. The H5 is outfitted with Zoom's XYH-5 interchangeable stereo microphone that provides clear, phase-accurate capture in a classic 90° X/Y configuration for a tight stereo image. The matched unidirectional condensers are housed within a specially designed shockmount that employs rugged external mic wires and rubberized material to minimize vibration and handling noise. RUGGED AND PORTABLE, HANDHELD OR MOUNTED: The rubberized, ergonomic body lends itself naturally to handheld use. Should you need to mount it on a mic stand or tripod, a threaded hole on the back of the H5 obviates the need for stand adapters. Obtain a hot shoe adapter (available separately) to attach the H5 directly to a DSLR.

Zoom H5 Digital Audio Recorder Unboxing and First Look
15 July 20143 464 view

The professional 4-channel recorder from the Japanese company Zoom is one of the most popular models among videographers.

Recording

The recorder is capable of recording audio tracks in WAV format (stereo recording with quantization at a sampling frequency of 44 kHz to 96 kHz and a resolution of 16 to 24 bits) or MP3 (stereo audio with a bit rate of 48 kbps to 320 kbps) . Sound quality in any conditions is ensured by regular condenser microphones with anti-vibration coating. The good news is that they are made in the form factor of a removable nozzle — paired with the recorder, you can use the entire fleet of Zoom microphone modules.

Ergonomics

The front face of the body of the device is covered with protective metal arcs designed to protect the device when it falls. Under the middle arc are two analogue wheels responsible for manually adjusting the parameters of the right and left channels. Just below you can find four illuminated keys to control each track individually. The display is monochrome and minimalistic — it is convenient to navigate through it in the process of work.

Nutrition

The slot for memory cards allows you to take on board the recorder flash drives in SD format up to 2 GB or SDHC up to 32 GB. The longest recording time reaches 15 hours, at maximum load and using numerous ports, this figure can be safely divided by 2. Power is provided by two AA batteries or from the USB port.

Almost a flagship

Zoom H5 carries and "smart" features that allow you to process sound directly on the device. At its core, the model is a slightly stripped-down version of the flagship Zoom H6, which, with proper handling, is practically not inferior to its older brother in a variety of settings and presets for sound recording.
