32-bit float recording for seamless audio capture
The H1 XLR features 32-bit float recording technology, which captures audio without the need for gain adjustments. This technology preserves the dynamic range of your recordings, ensuring clarity across both quiet and loud sounds. With the H1 XLR, you can record unpredictable audio environments confidently, knowing that it will capture every detail without clipping or distortion. Ideal for sound designers and field recordists, this feature ensures that everything from subtle environmental noises to loud live performances is captured with perfect balance.
This makes it a valuable tool for fast-paced or challenging recording conditions, as you won’t need to spend time manually adjusting levels, allowing you to focus on the content.
Flexible inputs for various recording needs
The Zoom H1 XLR is equipped with dual XLR/TRS combo inputs, allowing you to record from a range of sources. Whether using microphones, instruments, or stereo feeds from a mixing board, the H1 XLR offers adaptability for different recording scenarios. A 3.5mm stereo input further expands your options, letting you connect lavalier microphones, on-camera mics, or other external devices. This flexibility is invaluable for musicians, sound designers, and content creators who need to capture professional audio in diverse environments.
The locking XLR connectors ensure that your microphones or instruments stay securely connected during recording sessions, eliminating concerns about accidental disconnections and interruptions.
Pristine sound quality with ultra-low-noise preamps
For high-quality sound, the H1 XLR includes ultra-low-noise preamps with a -122dB EIN, providing clear, detailed recordings with minimal background noise. These preamps ensure your recordings maintain a professional level of clarity, making them ideal for capturing everything from live performances to detailed studio work. For those who need to record in high resolution, the H1 XLR supports sample rates up to 96kHz, ensuring that every nuance of sound is captured.
This combination of high-quality preamps and flexible sample rates gives musicians, filmmakers, and sound engineers the ability to produce recordings that meet the highest professional standards.
Portable design for recording on the go
The H1 XLR’s compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry, so you can record anywhere, anytime. Power options include two AA batteries or a USB-C connection, allowing you to choose the setup that best fits your environment. This makes the H1 XLR ideal for field recordings, outdoor shoots, or any location where mobility is important. You can also connect the H1 XLR directly to your mobile device, making it a great choice for video creators who want professional audio quality for their mobile content.
The high-contrast OLED screen allows for easy navigation of the H1 XLR’s menu system, while the real-time waveform display lets you monitor your recordings as they happen. This ensures you can make adjustments on the fly, guaranteeing the best possible audio quality during your session.
Multiple power and storage options for long sessions
The Zoom H1 XLR offers flexible power options, including AA batteries for portable recording or USB-C for extended sessions. Additionally, the H1 XLR can be used as a 32-bit float audio interface when connected to a computer, allowing you to record directly onto a device while also saving files to the SD card. This dual recording function ensures you have a backup of your important recordings. With support for SDXC cards up to 1TB, the H1 XLR gives you enough storage for extended recording sessions. Phantom power for condenser microphones and plug-in power for lavalier mics make it adaptable for various recording setups, ensuring consistent, high-quality results in any situation.
