One size. Fits all.
It’s our smallest recorder ever. But don’t let its size fool
you. The ZOOM H1 Handy Recorder has our renowned recording technology and
studio-quality microphones in our easiest, most portable device ever.
- Now Zoom recording technology is available to everyone. And
with an infinite variety of applications, you’ll want to take your H1
everywhere. From musical performances, songwriting sessions and rehearsals to
seminars, conferences, journalism or capturing audio for video, the H1 gives
you clean, clear stereo sound effortlessly.
What sets us apart?
- Like all Zoom recorders, the H1’s onboard microphones are
configured in an X/Y pattern, for stunning stereo imaging. Because both mics
are arranged on the same axis, they are equidistant from the sound source for
perfect localization and no phase shifting. The result is great stereo
recordings with natural depth and accurate imaging.
Under your thumb…
- With its newly designed user interface, the H1 is also our
easiest recorder to use. All its functions are at your fingertips, such as
track marker, auto record, low cut filter, level and volume controls with
on-board buttons… No menus required!
- Intuitive controls make it easy to capture the audio you
need with ease. But we still provide the versatility you’ve come to expect from
Zoom. So you get total recording format flexibility from 16-bit/44.1 kHz to
24-bit/96 kHz WAV, or MP3 from 48 kbps to 320 kbps and enough tools onboard to
make impeccable recordings.

Secure your digital memories.
- The H1 records on microSD cards and comes with a 2GB microSD
card. Using a 32GB microSDHC card allows over 50 hours of recording time at
16-bit/44.1 kHz.
MicroSD cards were specifically designed for the
ever-evolving mobile technology market. Approximately the size of a fingernail,
the microSD card is a significant advance in technology and its size and
capacity are a major reason why the H1 is able to deliver so much recording
technology in such a small package.
Share the love.
- With its Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port, the H1 allows for fast
transfer of your audio files to your computer. Listen, edit and share with your
fans on your Mac or PC. It also includes a reference speaker to ensure your
recordings are being captured as you desire.

Songwriters – More Hit Wonders.
- Isn’t it time you heard your masterpieces in beautiful
stereo that rivals a professional recording studio? We know you’re the creative
type, not an engineer. That’s why we made the H1 so easy to setup and navigate.
So you can keep the inspiration going. Your most creative ideas can now be
recorded and shared with your co-writers anywhere and at anytime the music hits
you. Just be sure you have your H1 on at all times!

Bands – On the Road, On the Run.
- There are so many applications for your band and the H1.
Start with learning new songs. If you’re the guy who teaches the songs, record
each part on an H1 and email it to the members of your band. If you’re the one
who books the band, you band needs to get heard. And everyone in the group
needs to hear their performance to get better. The H1 makes capturing your
performance easy, even when you’re cranking out high SPLs.

Video and Film Professionals – Indie Shoots That Don’t Sound
Indie.
- With DSLR cameras that shoot incredible HD video, the need
for a better audio solution has emerged. The H1 will easily mount via hot shoe
(HS-1 hot shoe adapter sold separately) on top of a video or DSLR camera. And
because it has a standard ¼-inch mount on the bottom, you can place the H1
anywhere on your rig. Use the stereo output jack to connect directly to the
audio input on your camera, or bring the audio into your editing suite using
the USB connection. The H1 is the perfect entry point for those getting started
with dual source shooting.

Journalism – Scoop Central…
- These days, a journalist needs be able to capture broadcast
ready interviews whenever or wherever they occur. Imagine being able to
spontaneously capture the kind of audio your producer needs and send it
remotely via email. That’s what the H1 provides. It’s literally a recording
studio in your pocket! And the files are Broadcast Wave Format (BWF) so your
producer has time and date stamping as well as any markers you set for total
editing ease.
Business – Content Management.
- Whether it’s a sales meeting, training conference or a
seminar, the ability to capture and distribute the content is a big part of the
ROI when you do events. Use the H1 to record your content for your company
website or distribute it by email to your peers. Edit and turn it into a podcast.
The possibilities are endless. Whatever the use, the H1 is perfect for legal,
business and medical field use.
USB mics for Computer Recording
- The H1 also functions as a USB audio interface, letting you
record directly to either a Mac or PC. Use your favorite recording software or
the bundled WaveLab LE from Steinberg, so you can start to produce and edit
your recording right out of the box.
