Zoom H1 Handy Recorder Black Includes 2GB microSD Card

Questo microfono è incredibile! La qualità audio è davvero eccellente anche in condizioni difficili di utilizzo. L'ho provato durante una serata musicale in un locale e il risultato è stato sorprendente. Certo non a livello di una registrazione professionale con equalizzazione di livelli (intervento comunque possibile in post) ma consideranto che lo si posiziona, si preme rec e lo si lascia lavorare senza dover minimamente intervenire, il risultato è impagabile! Ho provato anche l'uso con un lavalier da 10 euro per registrare una conferenza, anche qui con risultati ottimi. La qualità della voce è notevole e il tono è caldo e gradevole, mai affaticante. I due microfoni fanno il loro dovere egregiamente e, con il volume di registrazione al massimo, riescono a catturare anche i suoni più deboli. Ho testato il funzionamento anche come microfono USB con una piacevole sorpresa: prende l'alimentazione da USB quindi funziona anche senza batteria. Insomma è leggero, pratico, ricco di funzionalità e di ottima qualità. Se proprio devo trovare un difetto, punterei il dito sull'utilizzo a mano: qualsiasi strofinamento delle dita sulle plastiche del microfono provoca vibrazioni che vengono amplificate in suono e registrate. P.S. ho anche provato a registrare, tramite cavo, direttamente da vinile applicando in post la conversione RIAA. Ebbene... sto pensando di passare in digitale tutta la mia collezione di vinili dato che il risultato è migliore del mio preamp-phono.

Al primer momento que tuve la grabadora en mis manos, el materia se siente muy plástico y frágil. Sin embargo en funciones y trabajo la grabadora brinda unas prestaciones increíble la calidad y nitidez del audio es excelente. Acompañado de un micrófono de solapa de calidad tienes el complemento para grabaciones al aire libre y en zonas de mucho ruido. Sin duda es un accesorio ideal para los videógrafos que trabajamos en exteriores.

I was looking for this particular model and I found only this supplier who had it in stock. Thank you for selling the product at a very competitive price and adding the freebies. Just made my day

Audio Quality, Noise Cancellation, Features, Portability, Usability - Exceptional Exceptional Exceptional!!! No other mic/ recorder at this price does anything like this. Use it as recorder, connect and use it with DSLR/Laptop, use it with another mic, hear what you are recording, etc etc etc - this one checks all the right boxes. Despite being an 8-year-old device, it still is the best in its class, rather it outruns many other pricier models. But there are few things those are a little bummer - 1. The build quality - It feels plastic... like cheap plastic. 2. It doesn't come with any accessories, you can't even expect more at this price point. 3. Just a 2gb card included, not an issue if you are recording mp3. With .wav, you'll get around 80-90min recording if can recall properly. 4. Old technology in some places like Mini USB in the era of USB C, uses AA battery instead of built-in rechargeable battery etc. It's probably because it was launched long back in 2010 and has gotten only software updates. 5. The included battery is not rechargeable. Below are the accessories you might need depending on your requirement - 1. AA Rechargeable Battery (Sony/Panasonic - 500-1000 bucks) 2. Rechargeable Battery Charger (Sony/Panasonic - 1400-1500 bucks) 3. Hot Shoe Mount (Phenovo - 150-200 bucks) - To mount it on DSLR 4. 3.5mm Stereo Cable (AmazonBasics Coiled Cable - 300-350 bucks) - To connect to DSLR 5. Y Splitter (Tizum - 350-400bucks) - To record & listen (using earphone/headphone) at the same time 6. Clip-On Mic (Boya-1500 bucks, not sure if the cheaper mics work) - For vlogging 7. Mic Foam Sheild (70-100 bucks) - To reduce wind noise 8. Mini USB Cable (200-400 bucks) - To record directly to the laptop. Remember you need a Mini USB, not Micro USB/USB C. 9. AC Adaptor (You can use any charger with USB port) - To use it on AC, without worrying about battery drain. 10. Mini Tripod (200-300 bucks) [P.S. - Please, don't buy the Zoom H1 Accessories Pack until and unless you want the carrying case, it's not worth the price at least in India]

I've had this thing for close to a year now, and so far it's been great. This recorder feels great in the hand. Nice and small, with the record button right where your thumb might rest. It's also small enough to attach to the top of a DSLR and not feel cumbersome, for a better-than-built-in-microphone solution. It records to an internal microSD card, in either lossy MP3 or lossless WAV in up to 96Khz/24 bit. I don't think the audio electronics in this thing are good enough for those kinds of recording options to make a huge difference, but it's nice they're there. The two cardioid-style mics up top have a decent 270º pickup pattern. One of the nicest things about it is that when recording directly over USB to a computer for voiceovers, you can just discard one of the audio channels and just have a single mono channel from just one of the cardioid mics, which means a nicer overall sound signature for voiceovers and the like. The built-in mics are very sensitive, moving the mic around even the smallest amount can create wind noise and distortion, so be sure to get a good foam windscreen at the very least if you're planning on moving this thing around while using it. Overall, I'd say it's a decent little recorder. The ability to connect it to a computer as a USB microphone (or a USB sound card if you plug in a separate mic to the recorder) is a great feature that I use perhaps more often than for anything else.
