ZoomH1 XLR 2-Channel 32-Bit Portable Recorder

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The H1 XLR is a two-channel portable recorder built around 32-bit float recording, so gain adjustment is unnecessary before recording. Its two locking combo XLR/TRS inputs accept mic and line-level sources, alongside a stereo 3.5mm input. Record mono or stereo, balance channels with the onboard mixer, and watch levels on the OLED waveform display. A headphone output and built-in speaker offer monitoring choices. It records WAV files at 44.1, 48, or 96kHz in 32-bit float and takes microSDHC or microSDXC media.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Capturing two microphones or line-level sources in mono or stereo away from a studio.
- Recording microphones requiring phantom power within the unit’s 10mA total 48V channel supply.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Projects needing more than its two input and two output channels.
- Media at 1.5TB and above, which the recorder does not support.
