button gives you complete control. Playback and pause, marker, forward and
rewind buttons are all accessible by your thumb. Volume for playback and
monitoring can be adjusted using your index finger. On the back, you’ll find a
single AA battery compartment, a tripod mount, low cut filter, auto level
setting and recording format selectable switches. There’s also convenient
mount for a strap or lanyard clip. All the transport controls are on right
side of the H1 and you can adjust recording levels on the fly. A 1/8 inch
stereo line input is located on this side and its USB port is also accessible
here as is its power on and hold switch. On the left side, you can replace
your microSD card by folding down the rubberized door. There’s also a 1/8 inch
stereo line/headphone output with adjustable volume control for monitoring
playback. The built-in reference speaker is on the bottom of the unit. What
sets Zoom 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
it still provides 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 card. Using a 32 GB microSD 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. Musicians – Shorten the Learning Curve With stereo recording so
precise and so easy, musicians will love the H1. An indispensible part of any
serious musician’s arsenal, the H1 makes recording rehearsals and practice
sessions easier than ever. And the best part is, because your performance is
captured with crystal clear audio, you can really critique your own playing,
and get better. Songwriters – More Hit Wonders Isn’t it time you heard your
masterpieces in beautiful stereo that rivals a professional recording studio?
Zoom knows you’re the creative type, not an engineer. That’s why Zoom 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 shoe mount on top of a video or DSLR
camera. And because it has a standard 1/4-20 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 the ablility 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. Accessorize the
size… Everything you need to get started recording is included. Your H1 comes
with an AA battery for 10 hours of operation and a 2 GB microSD card. In
addition, an H1 accessory package (APH-1) is also available with an array of
