The Zoom H1essential is a portable recorder with built-in X/Y stereo microphones and 32-bit float recording. The recorder is suitable for music practice, podcasts, video production, and sound design. The 32-bit float technology covers a wide dynamic range, so gain adjustment is not needed. The built-in microphones record sound up to a 120 dB SPL sound pressure level. The H1essential also functions as a USB microphone for PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices via a USB-C connection.
32-bit float recording preserves sound details in both quiet and loud recordings without distortion. Sound levels do not need to be adjusted before recording, so you can start recording by pressing a single button.
Directional X/Y microphones are set in a 90° stereo configuration and record sound up to a 120 dB SPL sound pressure level. The 3.5 mm microphone/line input also allows the use of external microphones, such as lavalier microphones. Plug-in power supply (2.5 V) is supported.
Through the USB-C connection, the H1essential works as a USB microphone for computers or mobile devices while simultaneously recording to an SD card. This is suitable for video podcasts, live streaming, and situations where backup recording is desired.
AI noise reduction removes continuous background noise and reduces hiss. This feature enables clear sound quality even in noisy environments. The feature requires a free V2 firmware update.
The recorder includes overdubbing, pre-recording, automatic recording, and playback speed adjustment. A dedicated mark button sets reference points during recording. The black-and-white OLED display (128 x 64) shows a clear user interface. The accessibility feature verbally describes menus through the speaker or headphones in seven languages.
The device operates on two AAA batteries, USB-C bus power, or an external USB battery pack. Battery life is approximately 10 hours during 2-channel 48 kHz / 32-bit float recording. The H1essential supports microSDHC and microSDXC cards up to 1 TB capacity. Recording is possible in WAV (32-bit float) and MP3 formats (128/256/320 kbps, requires V2 firmware).
