The Zoom H1 is an affordable stereo recorder with an X/Y pair of stereo mics. Simple, yet high-quality recordings.


Like all Zoom recorders, the H1's onboard microphones are configured in an X/Y pattern for stunning stereo imaging. Because both mics are arranged on the same axis, they are equidistant from the sound source for perfect localization and no phase shifting. The result is great stereo recordings with natural depth and accurate imaging.

The H1's built-in directional microphones focus on the sound being recorded. Unlike omnidirectional microphones, which pick up sound all around indiscriminately, the H1 mics ignore the unwanted noise behind them.

The high-quality built-in preamp can be set to a recording level from 1 and 100. Set the recording level based on your specific needs. You can record anything from subtle nature sounds to a thunderous rock band. You can also achieve clear, undistorted recordings by enabling the AUTO LEVEL function.

The Zoom H1 is such a wonderful, simple unit you wonder why it hasn't been done before. The controls are all you need, albeit they're quite small but then this is a compact recorder. All except the essential big red record button are tucked away on the side of the case. Unlike many portable recorders the H1 doesn't have a menu making operation a breeze. The unit is nicely shaped to fit in the palm of your hand and the mikes are suitably protected by the integrated 'rings' atop the casework.
The sound quality is excellent and even at high sound levels it's easily possible to avoid clipping.
My only minor gripe would be the lack of case - to get that you have to buy the whole pack of accessories most of which I'll never use.
Still I haven't found a better device until you reach the superb H4n but that's over 3 times the price!
For high quality stereo recordings the H1 is very hard to beat.
