Zoom - H1essential - Digital Stereo Recorder, Professional Voice Recorder with 0.96" OLED Display and High-Speed ​​USB-C 2.0 Port, Audio Recorder Compatible with Mac PC and iOS, 10-Hour Battery Life

使い方は簡単で失敗しない作りになっており、音質も良好でした。 少々高価ですが、液晶に音量のモニターもついていて安心感は抜群です。 録音データから文字起こし、翻訳作業、要約作業、レポート作成がとてもスムーズになりました。 乾電池の消耗を考えると1日2本は必要ですが、TYPE-C+モバイルバッテリーで給電しながらもOKです。

Zoom H1 essential. Lo è per davvero, nel senso che nella scatola c'è solo lui e un po' di documenti: niente batterie, niente memoria, niente cavetto e alimentatore, niente paravento e altri accessori. L'aspetto è un po' giocattoloso, pesa come una piuma ed è piccolo. Ma quello che interessa è la qualità di registrazione e l'usabilità: in una parola perfetti. Con questo schiacci il tasto rec e non ti devi preoccupare di nulla, fa praticamente tutto lui. Il menù è chiaro, anche se il display è piccolino, i tasti rappresentano tutte le funzioni importanti, a portata di mano. Il trasferimento dei dati via cavo è veloce. Autonomia con 2 batterie alcaline da supermercato, notevole. Nota importante: non c'è il volume di registrazione, con i 32 bit non serve e non è previsto: se c'è bisogno di "amplificare" nel senso di aumentare i db, bisogna farlo via software. E la qualità non ne risente, grazie appunto ai 32 bit. Però è possibile regolare il volume della traccia, quando viene esportata. La qualità di registrazione è assai buona: non ho constatato particolare rumore di fondo registrato. Aggiornamento novembre 2025. È uscito il nuovo firmware 2.0 che aggiunge: la possibilità di fare MP3, il gain di registrazione che si regola con i tasti freccia (indispensabile per evitare il clipping dell'mp3, utile per alzare o abbassare i db senza l'eventuale post editing, con l'uso formato WAV e qualità non distruttiva dei 32 bit), una nuova funzione di riduzione del rumore, ma attivabile solo con WAV. In pratica, la perfezione.

I purchased the Zoom H1e to record my electric guitar practice sessions. I’m using the binaural earbuds connected into the Zoom H1e to record under my Boss WAZA AIR headphones. No need to adjust recording levels. No more clipped audio. It’s light weight and sits in a pocket comfortably. It also attaches to my iPhone video cage. It is plastic and doesn’t feel like a quality product (compared to my heavy and solidly constructed Sony PCM D-50 recorder) but it is an entry level recorder. For what it is I’m very happy so far.

Good little recorder very easy to use also it talks to you 😂😂 it tells you if the audio is too loud I really like it small not too bulky already tested it from multiple sound sources and I am very happy with the quality of recordings can’t really be beaten for the price 🥳

I received my Zoom H1 essential about 20 minutes ago. Walking through the set-up perhaps wasn't the absolute easiest I've ever done, but not hard either, and I never had to reference the manual, not even once. One thing to note, you need to have 2 AAA batteries and a micro-SD card already on hand, it comes with neither and you can't use it without. So if you all excited to get recording, be aware. Luckily, I had those items so I decided to immediately run an audio check ... and this is it. The H1 attached to my tripod with no converters needed, and I simply pressed record. I also pressed record on my cell phone's video and audio recorder, and went through a song I'm currently working on. When I finished, I put the tracks into my DAW and compared ... not even close. Not close by a mile. And as A/V work is my passion, and even a paying hobby, my cell is purposefully one that is renowned for audio. I host an acoustic open mic weekly, using quality mics and a premium board, and though this isn't going to replace the 2-track recordings off the mains from the board, obviously, until now I'd been capturing the room noise (and the occasional player who wasn't mic'ed, such as cajon player or a bassist who opts to bring his own amp rather than go through my board) through my phone, and blending as necessary in post. But for the price of the H1, I realize I can substantially bring up the quality of the promo video audio. BTW, I got started so quickly I didn't even go into settings, and the H1 is set to default at 48K sample rate. I've changed it to 96K, because why not, so I suppose it is possible it squeeze even a little better fidelity out, and as all us audio people know, every little bit helps. The size is small but I like it that way, perfect, it doesn't need to be bigger so why would you. The build quality doesn't inspire hard use (and certainly not abuse), but I get the sense that if you treat it like you would a quality condenser mic or a quality acoustic guitar, it will serve for a long time. Enough of my jabber and yabbering, all you really need to know is in the video.
