The Zoom H5studio Handy Recorder is a 4-track portable recording solution designed for videographers and content creators who need high-quality audio capture on the go. Featuring 32-bit float recording and an X/Y stereo microphone array with large 19.4mm capsules, the H5studio delivers an extended frequency response for detailed, natural sound reproduction.
Outstanding Audio Capture with Large-Diaphragm Microphones
At the heart of the H5studio is Zoom's most powerful Handy Recorder yet, featuring a pair of oversized 19.4mm condenser microphones—the largest ever on a Zoom portable recorder. These capsules deliver a wider frequency response and greater sensitivity, offering unmatched detail and richness in every recording. With the ability to handle sound pressure levels up to 140 dB, the H5studio excels at capturing everything from quiet dialogue to loud live performances without distortion. The increased microphone surface area results in a more natural stereo image and enhanced spatial depth, giving your recordings a truly professional edge. Integrated RF shielding ensures that your recordings remain free from interference caused by smartphones, wireless routers, and other electronic devices.
Professional Preamps, 32-Bit Float Recording, and Gain Control
Equipped with Zoom's renowned F-series microphone preamps, the H5studio delivers ultralow noise performance with an equivalent input noise rating of -127 dBu EIN and an impressive 132 dB of dynamic range. These preamps, combined with dual analog-to-digital converters and 32-bit float recording, allow the H5studio to capture the full spectrum of sound without clipping or distortion—even during sudden volume spikes. Unlike traditional recorders that require constant gain adjustments, the H5studio offers a safety net through its 32-bit float architecture, preserving headroom and detail even in unpredictable conditions. Dedicated gain knobs let you fine-tune levels on the fly, saving time in postproduction.
