Introducing the Zoom H1essential handy recorder

The Zoom H1E essential handy recorder is a must-have for musicians, podcasters, filmmakers, and content creators. With its easy-to-use interface and powerful 32-bit float recording capabilities, this recorder ensures that every sound is captured with exceptional quality. With its onboard X/Y microphones, the H1E can capture audio up to 120 dB SPL, making it perfect for recording everything from delicate acoustic performances to roaring rock concerts. Musicians will particularly appreciate its ability to record rehearsals without extensive setup, and should enjoy using features like overdubbing and playback speed adjustment to grant themselves more accessible creative freedom.

The thing that sets the H1E apart from other recorders is its 32-bit float recording technology. Unlike traditional recorders, you never have to worry about adjusting levels. This means that whether you're recording a soft-spoken podcast or a loud live performance, the H1E will capture every nuance of your sound without any distortion, and you won't have to spend valuable time tweaking its setup. Zoom's essential series also includes the H4E and H6E.

Versatile design for musicians

Musicians will find the H1E to be the perfect companion for their practice sessions. You can use this recorder to simply and quickly capture every rehearsal, allowing you to review and analyze your performance. With features like overdubbing and playback-speed adjustment, you can easily layer additional tracks and slow down the tempo for effective songwriting and practicing, even producing comprehensive song demos.

Fantastic accessibility features

"The Essential Series was designed with Accessibility for the blind and visually impaired. Navigate the menu with audible descriptions through the built-in speaker or headphones. Creators can choose English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian or Chinese."

Ellis Hall | Singer, Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist

An essential tool for storytellers

For filmmakers, sound plays a crucial role in making your visuals truly captivating. The Zoom H1E excels as a versatile audio recording tool for filmmakers, who can connect it directly to cameras to record and send audio in sync with your video footage. Podcasters and interviewers will appreciate the H1E's adaptability and convenience. Mount this recorder on a tripod to facilitate sit-down conversations, ensuring clear and professional audio quality. Alternatively, if you're conducting on-the-go interviews, the 'mono mode' is specifically designed to capture audio in this scenario.

Advanced controls and built-in speaker

Despite its compact size, the Zoom H1E is packed with advanced features that cater to all your recording needs. Overdubbing allows you to layer additional tracks, creating rich and layered audio. With pre-record and auto-record functions, you can seamlessly capture moments before you even press the record button. Additionally, the playback speed adjustment feature enables you to change the tempo of your recordings, providing flexibility and creative freedom.

Vivid OLED screen for seamless navigation

Navigating and accessing features of the H1E is made effortless with its vivid OLED screen. The high-contrast display provides excellent visibility, allowing you to easily navigate through the recorder's interface. Access different settings, monitor levels, and manage your recordings with ease, thanks to the clear and user-friendly display. Designed with accessibility in mind, the H1E is the first recorder to offer audible descriptions for the blind and visually impaired. Navigate through the menu using the built-in speaker or headphones, and choose from multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian, or Chinese.
