High-Performance Audio Recorders

The H5 Handy Recorder is Perfect for Audiophiles

— May 22, 2014 — Tech
Zoom North America is launching the H5 Handy Recorder, a high-performance audio recorder fitted with a number of features that allow audiophiles and people working with audio to exercise maximum control over their audio recordings.

The H5 Handy Recorder features a built-in compressor and limiter which enable audio recordings to be obtained at a constant volume even if the input levels fluctuate. There's also a lo-cut filter to minimize wind noise, handy for outdoor recordings. This Handy Recorder is even suitable for musicians thanks to the addition of a metronome and chromatic tuner. Musicians can control playback speed and pitch, loop playback and even mix down a multitrack recording into stereo without plugging into a computer.

The Zoom H5 Handy Recorder will be made available from June 1 for $269.99.
