Zoom H1n/UK Handy Recorder

Product Information

With the popularity around the H1n, there are plenty of good options available if you need a wind solution. Proper directional boom microphones are expensive. So I’ve put my Rode VideoMic Pro on a boom, and connected it to a Zoom H1 clamped to the boom. Once again, you sync your video at the editing stage. To capture additional sounds By holding down the “option” button, the default menu bar changes to show additional recording settings.

Use the LO CUT and LIMITER buttons to select what device you’re connecting to (PC/Mac or iOS), then press the AUTO LEVEL button. Well, pro's are absolutely the price and quality factors. You have some other options in this price range but it's one step ahead from in the segment that it belongs. In this point of view it's a god starting point for collecting audio samples and recording interviews etc. In the other hand if you want to record a direct signal for instance coming from a mixer or sound card, you do not have a line inputs. This may be a problem if you want to record a live session or a concert. For this I suggest you to buy H4 or higher versions, you can use them for both recording with build-in microphones and direct signal that comes from line-ins.

After researching this, it does seem that the H1n has a hardwired low-cut filter starting at 100hz and rolls off to -35dB at 1hz.

Now I'm using it via the usb cable to my computer as the mic for my Skype sessions, and any computer screen recordings I do. I bought the kit, so I have the mini stand which has extension legs (I hadn't realised) & makes it a great tabletop mic.

I also tried using it for recording feet walking on pebbles, waves lapping on the beach, and ambient sound in the pier and in a park.

The H1n is only compatible with micro SD and micro SDHC cards up to 32GB. Higher capacity, SDXC cards are not recognized by the device. The microphones on the H1n are very sensitive and winds over 6mph will cause audio distortion and peaking if unprotected. Unfortunately, the Zoom does not come with any wind protection. In this article, we will show you how to get up and running with the Zoom H1n. You’ll learn how to register the H1n, format the SD card, and how to record audio.
