Zoom H5 Handy Recorder

From Zoom, a leader in handy recording devices, comes the H5 Handy recorder. This compact yet powerful recorder is designed for musicians, journalists, podcasters and anyone who needs to capture high-quality audio on the go. The H5 comes with an advanced XYH-5 mic capsule with a shockmount to minimize vibration, providing two matched unidirectional mics for stereo recording with a wide range. For more options, the H5 is compatible with the interchangeable capsules for the H6 recorder to suit any recording need.

Capture Pristine Audio Anywhere

With the ability to record in 24-bit/96kHz, the H5 produces professional quality recordings rivaling studio equipment. The preamps, also found in the H6, ensure stunningly clear audio. For loud environments, the H5 can handle up to 140dB SPL without distortion. Whether recording a solo instrument, an on-location interview or a live rock show, the H5 collects high-definition audio in any situation.

Long-Lasting Power for Extended Recording

While other recorders require frequent battery changes or AC power, the H5 keeps going for over 15 hours on just two AA batteries. For lengthy sessions, the optional AC adapter provides constant power. With a 32GB SD card, the H5 can record for up to 70 hours without interruption. For extra peace of mind, the backup-record function creates a separate safety track in case the main recording peaks.

A Versatile Tool for Recording and Beyond

In the studio or field, the H5 serves many purposes. It operates as a 4-track recorder, capturing two stereo tracks or four mono tracks. For video use, the H5 connects directly to your camera. It also functions as a USB audio interface with zero-latency monitoring, allowing you to record directly to your computer. Onboard effects like compression, limiting and low-cut filtering put the final polish on your recordings. And with support for WAV and MP3 formats, you can choose between maximum quality or smaller file sizes.

Portable and Practical

Measuring just over 6" long and weighing under 10 ounces with the included battery, the H5 is a convenient size for portability. The 1.9" LCD display provides an easy interface for navigating menus and ensuring proper levels. Physical buttons for recording, track arming, playback and more provide tactile control. A USB port allows file transfer and a line out sends your audio to external devices. For protection, a hard case is available separately.
