Zoom Handy Recorder (H1n) Blue

Very cheap in price but amazing product.i am using it on Sony a7s3.just remember drain battery very quickly and don't forget to remove batteries while not using it.i am using it mostly for over voice so while using it at home make sure to connect it through USB cable while batteries in it then it won't use ur batteries and u can have infinite time with it. Amazing sound quality 👌

Power button not working....

Zoom h1n has a design issue which cannot be solved. Battery drains very quickly even while in off position. They claim it lasts for 10 hours which is not accurate. Regret buying it. Noticed after the return period!

The Zoom H1n is compact, light weight, is loaded with features (manual or automatic gain adjustment, limiter, low cut filter, variable shut-off times, etc), yet is simple to operate. (Slide the "on" switch, then press the big button to begin recording.) Many of the functions are accessible through the menu system, allowing you to set them once and leave them, without risking changing them by accidentally moving an external switch. The dispaly is of sufficinet size to be easily read. I am going to send the unit with a lavaliere microphone to record interviewees while I do phone interviews to get "in-person" sound. Putting the equipment in a mailing box with a foam insert to hold the equipment is still less than 8 oz. I have several pieces of professional recording equipment, and the H1n meausres up well. The sound may not be absolutely pristine, but it is still excellent, whether using an external microphone or the built-in ones. I had never considered the H1n until I had the specific need for it for remote interviews. I'm impressed with the sound, ease of operation, and price.

I am a musician who plays various stringed instruments. I use this recorder for ideation, learning & live recordings, creating demo recordings for self-reference. I feel that this is an amazing tool for those who are serious about music and need a handy device for outdoor/indoor & a makeshift studio microphone for a basic home studio setup. Currently I am using this recorder for Sitar, Guitar & Percussion sounds. From learning to live events, this one will always be recording because it allows me to get back to my performances or practise & get an amazing feedback on the mistakes I made or to never miss out on new ideas etc. Additionally, I got it running with a 128 GB Scandisk memory card. The trick is to format the partition & the partition table with FAT (not exFAT or FAT32). This allows me to use around 120GB of space while the recorder shows over 900 hours of recording time. The only down side is power cycle (power on) takes a few seconds more as it probably tries to explore 120 GB worth SD card space. Will research on the appropriate rechargeable batteries and update the post in a few months. For now any standard heavy duty AAA battery pair seems to be quite sufficient. Well nothing in this world is perfect (I wonder if the word perfect is perfect itself?), so here is the critique. Build quality seems to be a bit unsatisfactory, the tool feels like a single unit & feels quite sturdy & robust but well, could be better built & finished but for this price ratio & the quality of audio recording provided, its absolutely Amazing! I wonder if the higher range premium Zoom recording devices are better finished & feel more awesome to carry around!

Purchased a month ago. Good for demo-recordings, but not for pro-quality. I mean microphones are perfect to my ear but the signal-to-noise ratio isn't perfect, add a bit of compression to the signal and you'll hear it. But if a recording needs no compression this recorder will do a great job. Interface is very convenient, what I liked: - red LED blinks when there's clipping + there's a sound level on LCD, easy to control levels - overdubbing feature (overlay as much tracks as you wish and later extract them using audacity & inversion - multi-track recorder in your pocket!) - optionally works as a computer audio interface with microphone or line-in, no drivers needed - really low power consumption Wind-filter is a must. You'll also need a microUSB cable and 32GB microSD card for it. Still good value for money.

Ein tolles Gerät für den kleinen Geldbeutel. Macht was es soll und mehr. Gerade im Bereich der EVP Aufnahmen ein nützliches Gerät. Das weiße Rauschen im Stillen ist sehr hell. Für Musikaufnahmen etwas doof, aber wie gesagt für EVP Aufnahmen nützlich.

buongiorno , lo zoom h1 è molto ben costruito , leggerissimo e i microfoni sono di una sensibilità elevata , io ho potuto compararlo con tascam - 05x e direi che si assomigliano in quanto fedeltà di registrazione . se cercate leggerezza , fedeltà lo zoom è fatto x voi . dimenticavo le batterie durano molto malgrado siano quelle piccole , io ci ho fatto quasi 20 ore di registrazione .
