The Zoom H5 Handy Recorder

Evolved Recording for Creators

The compact and portable H5 gives you everything you need to create professional quality audio. It comes with a detachable stereo X/Y microphone and utilizes a system of interchangeable input capsules that allow you to choose the best mic for every situation.

Ideal for live concert and rehearsal recording as well as audio for video, the H5 is equally well-suited for podcasting, broadcasting and electronic newsgathering.

  • Uses a system of interchangeable input capsules.
  • Includes detachable stereo X/Y capsule with shockmounted mics and extended signal capacity.
  • Four tracks of simultaneous recording.
  • Records directly to SD and SDHC cards up to 32GB.
  • Up to 24-bit/96kHz audio in BWF-compliant WAV or a variety of MP3 formats.
  • Two mic/line inputs with XLR/TRS combo connectors, each with selectable phantom power and -20dB pad.
  • Requires just two standard AA alkaline or NiMH rechargeable batteries (over 15 hours of operation with alkaline batteries).

Add superior audio to your video

The H5 can be mounted to any DSLR. Its dual combo inputs can handle both mic- and line-level signals. There's even a dedicated Line Out for direct connection to your camera without the need for an attenuator cable.

XYH-5 shockmounted X/Y mic capsule (Included)

The advanced XYH-5 provides dual matched unidirectional condenser microphones housed in an advanced shockmount to minimize vibration and handling noise—ideal for location videography and broadcasting/podcasting. In addition, the XYH-5 is designed to handle extremely loud sounds, making it the perfect choice for capturing the sound of live rock concerts and for electronic newsgathering (ENG) applications.

XYH-6 large diaphragm X/Y mic capsule

The XYH-6 allows you to do stereo X/Y recording and provides dual large diaphragm mic elements with adjustable width—choose 90 degrees for a more focused sound or 120 degrees for a wider stereo image. It's great for recording classical music and for capturing sound effects in the field.

MSH-6 MS (Mid-Side) mic capsule

Step up to a whole new level of precision sound-shaping with the MSH-6, which contains a forward-facing, unidirectional mic (the 'Mid') and a side-facing, bi-directional mic (the 'Side'). In conjunction with the H5's onboard MS decoder, it allows you to capture a fully mono-compatible stereo image that can actually be adjusted after recording—ideal for film, video, and television projects.

SGH-6 Shotgun mic capsule

Get all the pickup with half the length by connecting an SGH-6, which adds a professional-quality, highly directional shotgun microphone to your H5. Three elements, combined with digital signal processing, give you the highly directional pickup power of a conventional shotgun in a unit only half the size, making it optimum for recording dialogue and narration with no intrusive mic in the scene.

EXH-6 Dual XLR/TRS Combo capsule

The EXH-6 adds two more mic- or line-level inputs to your H5, allowing you to connect up to four discrete signals from external microphones, instruments, mixers, or portable music players and fully realize your creative vision.

Used it on a feature indie film and a bunch of shorts. This thing fits in your pocket or screws onto a tripod or whatever. When I had to hand it off to a guy for a day, it took me two minutes to go through everything with him. It’s simple, approachable, and effective. And that microphone up top is actually really good. Only caveat I can think of other than having only 2 inputs is that it does not like MicroSD cards in SD adaptors. Use regular SD cards only or it won’t record.

Also I left it outside with my rode microphone in -50C Canadian winter. Can you guess which device still functions? Yeah. This is a great pocket mixer. Absolutely would recommend.

I am a court reporter and use this for external audio recording as per the specifications of a particular client. The recording is clear with no background noise to speak of, and the USB audio interface works wonderfully with my court reporting software when I choose to use it for that purpose. Generally I use the MXL USB conference mic (also purchased on Amazon) with my court reporting software, but this one also does the job extremely well. It's very versatile. My only issue with it is that it's a bit big, and I wish it had a rechargeable battery since it burns though AAs pretty quickly if not used with USB powering it.

First the not so good stuff. It's old technology with firmware that hasn't been updated in years. Also, it won't support anything over 32 gigabytes of SD Storage that said, you don't need more than that.

Now the good. It has very low noise pre amps although don't expect it to power gain hungry dynamic mics. It also comes with a host of (useful) features. It's extremely ergonomic and most important of all - it has excellent recording quality!

Bottom line? Highly Recommend!

EDIT
The more I use this recorder the more I love it. In fact, I am now using it not just as a field recorder but in the studio!

Great! Can't imagine not having it. Preamps are awesome with both a Shure SM57 and Rode NTG-2. Like that it can used as an audio interface with my Mac as this lets me use the H5 when recording a podcast over Skype. Also like that it's built well and is fairly easy to use. The dials make adjustments very easy. I use it for filmmaking, voiceovers and Skype calls when I want to use a better microphone.

The Zoom H5 did exactly what I needed it to do: record audio to an SD card, support phantom powered shotgun microphones for film production, allow live - real time - monitoring of audio, support up to 4 tracks simultaneously on one device, and operate as a pipeline for native DSLR audio. I'd say for any filmmaker or videographer of any kind, this is a must-have addition to your gear.

This is an amazing portable recorder. Perfect for recording everything on the spot.

My use case is that I've attached a Shure SM58 to this and I practice flute so that I can identify my mistakes later. Practicing with a microphone in front prepares us for performing live.

This microphone has so many features that I've not yet explored them all.

Pros:
1. Well built.
2. Quality pre amp and a built in 48V phantom power. All this runs on 2 AA batteries!!! I've been using it for 2 weeks and the battery indicator is still showing full.
3. You can play karaoke tracks on your phone (connect your phone's headphone jack to this one's line in on the mic module and play/sing on the other two tracks. It's perfect for overdubbing and mixing tracks on the go.
4. For the price, we get 3 simultaneous input sources, headphone monitoring, built in compressor and limiters and a stereo mic for field recording.

Cons:
1. The menu systems will take some time to get used to.
2. The joystick controller on the side is a little loose but it doesn't affect it's usage.

I can't think of any other cons.

I also have a scarlett 2i2 but I don't think I'll be using it that much as this is as good as that interface but is portable and has better pre-amps for the SM58 mic. I've also tested it with condenser mics and it performs brilliantly. You can monitor your recording and the dubbing track simultaneously! It's the best feature.. there's no lag in the monitoring. Instead of buying Scarlett 2i2, people could buy this and they'd have a portable interface and a recorder!

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible little instrument!
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2015
style: RecorderVerified Purchase
****Updated: See negatives section. ****
I have owned this device for almost 6 months now. The more I use it the more I am blown away by its capabilities and all the different situations and ways I can use it. I use it as is (no extra mikes) and the only thing I upgraded is the memory card.
The mic unit it ships with is incredibly sensitive and when recording there is no delay whatsoever. It still amazes me that technology allows such instantaneous sound reproduction. I think it may pickup the sound of a pin drop. The mic is also very faithful in terms of range of frequencies. At least for me - it seems to record everything I hear and when I play the sound back - the highs the lows and everything in between is there. Stereo imaging is excellent!
I've used it for live show recordings using only the included mic and have had mixed results - placement is very important even in a studio-like sound proofed room. I recorded one show with a feed directly from the mixer and I was beyond thrilled with the results. The band I sing with was also happy to have such a good reproduction of the show. My bass player commented that he had never heard bass captured so well and the loved the results. The quality of the playback of recorded sound is also unbelievable. It makes sense that they should include such awesome playback in this device - its the best way to tell if you got an awesome recording or not. It made me realize that my laptop needed an external DAC because the same WAV file sounded positively horrid on it. I had to go back to the H5n to make sure I was not going crazy with how poor the file sounded on my laptop. The challenge now is how to convert the raw files created on the H5n to a media format that does not lose all the detail. I have used it to provide sound to my D610 and obviously - this is way better than the D610s internal mic - not a fair comparison IMHO.
The negatives:
- The folder structure is so weird! Whose idea was this? Fire them! Ok, too harsh - but do give them a good talking to. Overall, if making a beautiful and easy to navigate and intuitive folder structure will take anything away from the quality of sound and the ease with which this lets you record - don't bother.
- The unit allows you to set a backup recording that will record a few DB below the setting you selected. This option is available only for the mic that comes attached and L and R is controlled by one level knob. Don't get me wrong - this is a GREAT feature. It would be an AWESOME feature if it allowed similar backup tracks for other inputs also. The 2 second buffer is another fantastic feature.
-I wish I got the H6 now. If this unit is so awesome and opens up so many possibilities - imagine how awesome the H6 must be. :-( You get he point - this isn't really a negative.

The negatives, besides the one about backup track recording - are not worth docking it any stars. This is primarily a sound recording device - and that it is phenomenally good at doing.
*New negative added after , what, 6 years? :-) The device has become sticky. The rubber like finish it had to give good grip, has broken down into something that just wants to stick to your hands. This despite it being always stored in its case. After it turned sticky I pretty much leave it lying around here and there out of the case. So, I still use it but try to handle it as little as possible. And after all these years, it still functions as it did the day I took it out of its box. Still an excellent piece of audio equipment.
