Overview

A portable recorder with pristine 32-bit float audio capture.

The Zoom H5Studio 32-bit portable recorder redefines mobile audio production with studio-grade performance and advanced features. Boasting the largest microphones ever on a handy recorder, its 19.4mm capsules capture sound with remarkable depth. Combined with F-series preamps and dual AD converters, this recorder ensures pristine audio clarity and dynamic control. Whether you're recording interviews, live performances, or soundscapes, the H5Studio delivers 32-bit float recording technology that eliminates clipping and distortion, providing unmatched precision in all environments.

The Largest Microphones for Superior Audio Capture

This portable recorder features 19.4mm microphones, the largest ever on a handy recorder. These mics capture an impressive frequency range with exceptional accuracy, ensuring every detail of your audio is preserved. With a maximum SPL of 140dB, they can handle everything from the subtlest whispers to the loudest performances without distortion. The increased mic size also provides a richer, deeper sound with an expansive dynamic range, making your recordings feel more immersive and lifelike. This combination of size and performance ensures unmatched audio clarity and depth.

Studio-Grade Preamps

The H5Studio features F-series preamps renowned for their low noise and exceptional detail. With a -127dBu EIN (Equivalent Input Noise) and dual AD converters, this recorder captures every nuance of your performance with remarkable accuracy. The 32-bit float recording format ensures that your audio remains distortion-free, even during unexpected volume peaks. This dynamic range of 132dB allows you to record everything from delicate acoustic passages to thunderous live performances without compromise. These preamps provide a clean, professional-grade signal path for flawless recordings.

Dynamic Control With 32-Bit Float Recording

This recorder offers complete control over audio dynamics with the combination of 32-bit float and 16/24-bit recording formats. The 32-bit float format eliminates clipping by capturing a virtually unlimited dynamic range, while dedicated gain knobs provide real-time level adjustments. For users who prefer traditional workflows, 16/24-bit recording allows for optimized gain staging during capture. Together, these features ensure that recordings are free from distortion and provide flexibility for post-production or immediate use, depending on your needs.

Engineered for Durability and Interference-Free Sound

The H5Studio is built for reliability in any recording scenario. Its carefully engineered RF shielding protects your audio from interference caused by smartphones and WiFi routers, ensuring clean recordings even in challenging environments.
