Product Information

This allows users to select the microphone capsule that best suits the situation - making trade-offs a thing of the past. External microphone signals are processed by powerful microphone preamplifiers, which offer an equivalent input noise of -120dB, freely selectable phantom power (12, 24, or 48V), and -20dB pad. This makes a big difference, as being able to control levels quickly and easily is essential in situations where you need to make adjustments on the fly.

Zoom's preamps seem to be all slightly noisy on their own, Not that much to say "this mic is scam", but you know, high enough to say "ok, I know you're there, I'll just fix you if needed". The H5 incorporates many of the facilities of the H4 and more recent H4N, but adds improvements and innovations that were introduced with their more sophisticated H6 (reviewed in SOS Nov 2013: http://sosm. All of this balance revealed itself as a crucial point and is exactly where I decided to bank on it, with tremendous satisfaction! I only needed to look at the manual once, to check that the compressor and high-pass filters could be switched on just for the mics.I read manuals before using a product, but I was slightly confused by the multi or stereo recording functionality - however, following the instructions fixed this immediately.

Even the lowliest of its ‘H’ range delivers high-quality audio recordings with the ability to raise bit-rates far above CD quality – up to 24 bits per sample compared with CD’s 16, and sampling rates of 96kHz, compared with CD’s 44.

Less obvious is its second microphone, which collects ambient information from either side (hence the name MS, for Mid-Side).

Record continuously for about 10 hours with just 2 AA batteries or extend your recording time indefinitely with the optional AD-17 AC adapter.The best part however is that all of these inputs and outputs can be individually controlled for pan, level and more.

This is mighty handy for a temporary mix before the tracks are exported to a larger program where a post-production soundtrack can be constructed. That is why Zoom have spent a lot of time making sure that this microphone is as energy efficient as possible. All of these tracks record onto separate channels so you can take them out later and edit on your favourite DAW or even on the H5 itself.With this much power you can do two full days of work with this microphone without having to change batteries once. You can use both outputs simultaneously to route audio to your DSLR while monitoring with headphones. Since the Zoom-9002 (an ultra-compact multi-effects processor that can be attached to a guitar strap) was introduced in 1990, Zoom has become one of the leaders in digital audio processing.
