Zoom H5 Handy Recorder

Take the inconvenience out of multitrack audio with the Zoom H5 Handy Recorder. This compact device can record four tracks simultaneously, making it easy to capture audio for podcast interviews, live performances, or videos.

The H5 comes with an XYH-5 X/Y mic capsule, featuring two matched unidirectional condenser mics for effortless live stereo recording. With a rugged shock mount and rugged isolation design, the capsule reduces unwanted noise in the field. Or, replace the XYH-5 with one of Zoom's interchangeable H5 input capsules for added versatility. Two additional combo XLR/TRS inputs make it easy to connect 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.
