DESCRIPTION:
The Zoom H5 Handy Recorder provides you with four tracks of portable recording power, letting you create professional 24-bit/96kHz recordings anywhere your creativity takes you. It comes standard with an XYH-5 XY microphone capsule, which you can swap out for other mics and input modules to fit any recording situation. Two combo inputs, complete with onboard microphone preamps and switchable -20dB pads, let you connect anything from phantom-powered condenser microphones to extremely hot line-level sources. Top it off with onboard processing, stellar recording options, and the fact that it doubles as a USB audio interface, and you can imagine how useful the Zoom H5 Handy Recorder can be.

OWNER NOTES:
This Zoom is great for events and field recordings in nature. Can be patched into a mixer to record a concert or placed in the room for small venue live music with professional quality results.

IMPORTANT:
The H5 takes two AA batteries and needs a memory card. You must provide both. I would like to include rechargeable batteries and a 16GB SD card eventually and will update the listing when I am able. Having a good set of headphones for monitoring comes in handy, but it's more for show since the built-in limiter will save you from any clipping.
