Zoom H1essential Stereo Handy Recorder

The Zoom H1essential captures great audio at the push of a button for podcasters, filmmakers, musicians and content creators. Its 32-bit float recording means you never have to set levels, and the onboard X/Y microphones capture clean stereo audio up to 120 dB SPL. Firmware adds AI Noise Reduction for steady background noise, level adjustment during recording and a compressed recording format for smaller files. Use it on a tripod for sit-down podcasts, in mono mode for on-the-go interviews, or send audio straight to your camera. Overdubbing, pre-record, auto record and playback speed adjustment are built in, and over USB-C it works as a USB microphone for PC, Mac, iOS and Android while recording to SD at the same time. As part of the Essential Series, it offers audible menu guidance in seven languages for blind and visually impaired users.
