Zoom H5studio 4-Track Handy Recorder

The Zoom Audio H5studio was made for seamless and professional production. Creators can record flawless audio with stunningly clear microphones, studio-grade preamps, and 32-bit float recording. The 19.4mm microphones capture audio with incredible frequency response, 140 dB max SPL, and an expansive dynamic range. Their increased size captures recordings with unmatched depth and fidelity. The H5studio captures up to six tracks (four iso-tracks plus a stereo mix) with sample rates up to 192 kHz.

F-SERIES POWER, NOW IN YOUR HANDS

The H5studio features Zoom's F-series preamps, giving your audio unmatched clarity (-127 dBu EIN). With dual AD converters and 32-bit float, it delivers an impressive 132 dB dynamic range, capturing everything without noise or distortion.

COMPLETE CONTROL, ZERO CLIPPING

32-bit float and 16/24-bit formats each have their advantages. 32-bit float prevents clipping but requires post-production. 16/24-bit eliminates the need for post-processing but requires gain adjustment to prevent clipping. The H5studio offers the best of both worlds with 32-bit float and dedicated gain knobs—no clipping and no need for post-production.

THE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS


The H5studio captures up to six tracks (four iso-tracks plus a stereo mix) with sample rates up to 192 kHz. The two locking XLR/TRS inputs support +48V phantom power and +4 dBu line level. There is also a 3.5mm stereo jack with plug-in power. Use the loud 20 mW headphone output to monitor or listen back to your recordings in any environment. Use the 3.5mm stereo LINE OUT to connect directly to a camera, easily syncing your audio and video. The built-in speaker has a maximum output of 250mW for previewing recordings on the spot. The H5studio also features a 4-in/2-out USB audio interface for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android, supporting 32-bit float and 16/24-bit recording. Stream live and simultaneously record a backup to microSD.

OTHER ADVANCED FEATURES

Carefully engineered RF shielding keeps interference from smartphones and Wi-Fi routers out of your recordings, anywhere you go. The H5studio features “advanced look-ahead” limiters which anticipate potential overloads and prevent distortion before it reaches your track. The H5studio’s 3.0 capsule system supports 32-bit float and gives creators more options to use the right mic for their recording. Monitor input levels and real-time waveforms with the full color LCD, making it easy to adjust and monitor audio in real time. The TCA-1 timecode adapter* generates and outputs timecode or jams to an external clock. You can also receive wireless timecode from the ATOMOS® UltraSync BLUE.
