You can also set the H1n to auto-record, pre-record, and self-time, making sure you always capture the moment. You can also use the H1n’s built-in speaker to listen to your recordings. The H1n’s USB port provides a digital output of the stereo mix and allows data to be sent to and from your computer.

Help Center. But yes the voice recorded is stereo and clear. Zoom makes durable and high quality audio devices, so no doubt on product. You have to decide what is your requirement. I am a blogger I require it for various type of recordings for my photography blog. This is also very handy for recording sound for Youtube videos. Noise cancellation feature suppresses rustling noise of wind through its low cut filter.
Two small directional mics cover a wide area. In short at this price point it is the best bargain in digital recorder. MP3 and Wav sound formats are OK for general use. Moreover they provide you with a free software for sound editing. In all I am satisfied with its specifications. One word about the software that comes with the package. Its installation will surely stump the people who are not into this sort of set-up. It is too complex.
I did install it but it is too complicated to handle for uninitiated. There are many free and simple sound manipulation softwares available. My advice do not install the software that you will be rarely using because of its too complex interface and clumsy set up procedure.
Pros Excellent for recording vocals, guitar etc Stereo mics works really well At full sensitivity every minute sounds can be heard clearly Requires only a single AA battery, which is easily replaceable Really good recorder for the price bought for about rs Cons Cant say much as the product works good Only problem is that zoom h1n is available at times for about rs Price of the product fluctuates continuously.
Suggestions Use a foam filter to remove pop sounds, wind noice etc Note: foam filter not included. Use a class 10 micro SD card. Thank you for your time. I am very happy with the outcome. Even better is the way I use it for recording rough voice narration either before or after editing on the timeline. It is very easy to use, convenient that gives me professional output in wav format at three bit levels.
It also has mp3 format which I do not use. You can record two way audio using two different lapel mics if you purchase a splitter 3. The only thing is you must be sure of all the recording levels before recording it. I have seen that levels between 40 and 70 are good enough depending on the mic proximity to the source, voice throw, surround sound etc. Lastly, it is not even very expensive. Excellent for all professionals especially those low on budget.
A must in your shoot accessory list. I am planning to purchase Zoom H2 now which has better options for voice recording. It is so convenient and easy to use and very versatile as a an audio tool.
It saves so much of my time in setting up my technical line up for a proper voice recording. Currently I use it as my field recorder for recording ambience. Sometimes I also use it as my main mic and was amazed at its quality. Ofcourse I do a bit of post prod. Best wishes. See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. This thing is awesome! It picks up everything and the sound quality is crystal clear. You can set sound levels for your voice and also you can put a mark on the audio as you’re recording to go back to that spot during the edit.
Plug in headphones to hear what you are recording better and turn the volume up and down. I love it, it’s a really nifty little device. I bought it to start podcasting not knowing a thing about sound and I’m really glad I went with this one. Update Zoom UK replaced my H1 recorder due to the battery drain problem. My original H1 would drain a new battery in 2 days when switched off. The replacement uses microamperes when switched off – so a new battery will last around 2 weeks.
This could be inconvenient if you reached for the recorder to find it dead. So, I would recommend only fitting the battery when required but the next problem arises – you can’t start recording because when no battery was installed the date and time was lost.
Now you have to tediously re-set the date wearing a pair of close up spectacles as the characters are so tiny before you can start. If you can’t find your specs – or just don’t care, you can simply wait a while and it eventually accesses the card and you can begin to record by which time you’ve forgotten the idea you had or the person talking has walked off Original review: Having previously bought Zoom products, I suppose I did feel steered by brand loyalty to some extent in making this purchase.
When I unboxed it I was slightly shocked by the flimsy build quality – it feels like a toy The texture of the plastic shouts “cheap” and with small screen, fiddly small buttons on the side and tacky card and battery hatches I wasn’t impressed. Admittedly the compact dimensions make it convenient to carry and use without drawing attention, but ease of use suffers with the legibilty of tiny characters in the display and the small buttons which should at least be colour coded to help selections.
The buttons would have much more usefully placed on the top surface so that it could then be operated single-handed with the thumb activating the controls. Further options are chosen by a row of slider switches on the bottom but these are stupidly placed near the mics. This wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t rattle they are slightly loose. Consequently, when hand holding you must keep your fingers clear of them during recording.
The mics will also pick up the tiniest movement of your hand, and as the casing flexes and creaks it can all add up to be pretty annoying. If you were recording loud sounds I dare say these would be buried low in the mix by comparison, but for quieter recording hand held is not good.
While monitoring recordings with headphones, I was surprised by the amount of hiss – this got me worried, but thankfully when the files are played back on the computer they are clean. The headphone circuit is obviously not a low noise design. Navigating your way around the recorded tracks is tedious. If you have a long track of say 1 hour and you want to listen to the last 5 minutes you have to hold down the tiny fast-forward button for ages.
If you jump to the next track and hold down rewind it will not reverse into the last portion of the previous track – it just stops. I found the battery life disappointing.
After about 1 hour of use it was empty. The short battery life was partly due to monitoring the recording with the headphone output. However, see top of page for battery drain when switched off This recorder has been around a while and needs a complete re-design.
Recordings are good, but build quality, circuit design and controls need to be improved. This is a very good piece of kit for the price. I was doubtful at first but having used it now as a roving mic with deadcat, mounted on a pole, mounted on the camera, and used with an external mic plugged in, all the results have been impressive. Perhaps a little bassy, but I’ve not played with any of the filters and most of that I can deal with in pp. I’ve only given it four because there are a couple of things that niggle me.
The slide-and-hold ‘on’ button is a minor irritation, even more so to turn it off; and the micro-sd card slot and cover really get my goat. Getting the card in and out is fiddly and the cap that covers it can eject the card if you push it hard enough, but you learn to work around that.
These are minor niggles, however. I would have no hesitation in recommending this to people like me who have made their first venture into syncing externally recorded audio. I am even considering buying another one because, hooked up with a lavalier, it’s small enough to tuck away.
Really nice piece of kit and something I use often. One person found this helpful. It’s a reasonably good recorder, and can be used as a usb mic into acomputer’s usb port. The main problem with it is handling and transmitted noise through the casing – a LOT of it.
It’s half the price of a Sony PCM-M10 , but the Sony is far superior in every respect If money isn’t an issue for you , buy the Sony PCM-M10 – I have 3 of them and they are just great, but heavier and bulkier than the h1 – because M10’s are beautifully constructed.
There is a place for the Zoom h1 in any kitbag – it’s nice and light and small and records well.
