Zoom H5studio Handy Recorder
zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Record clear audio anywhere in 24- or 32-bit with the Zoom H5studio, a portable recorder with large, high-quality mics and built-in limiting.
Overview
The Zoom H5studio handy recorder gives you studio quality sound, anywhere you go.
Your Best Work Starts Here
The H5studio was made for seamless and professional production. Creators can record flawless audio with stunningly clear microphones, studio-grade preamps, and 32-bit float recording.
The Largest Mics Ever on a Handy Recorder
The 19.4mm microphones capture audio with incredible frequency response, 140 dB max SPL, and an expansive dynamic range. Their increased size captures recordings with unmatched depth and clarity.
F-Series Power, Now in Your Hands
The H5studio features Zoom F-series preamps, giving your audio unmatched clarity (-127 dBu EIN). With dual AD converters and 32-bit float, it delivers an impressive 132dB dynamic range, capturing everything without noise or distortion.
Complete Control, Zero Clipping
32-bit float and 16/24-bit formats each have their advantages. 32-bit float prevents clipping but requires post-production. 16/24-bit eliminates the need for post-processing but requires gain adjustment to prevent clipping. The H5studio offers the best of both worlds with 32-bit float and dedicated gain knobs-no clipping and no need for post-production.
