Zoom H5 Boxed

Zoom H5 Handy Recorder – 4-Track Portable Digital Audio Interface – Grade B (Boxed)

The Zoom H5 is a versatile, professional-grade portable recorder designed to meet the rigorous demands of podcasters, filmmakers, and field recordists. Building on the legacy of the H6, the H5 features a compact design with a sophisticated interchangeable input capsule system. This unit is supplied with the XYH-5 X/Y microphone capsule, which uses two matched unidirectional microphones set at a 90-degree angle, capable of handling an impressive 140 dB SPL—perfect for capturing everything from high-intensity concerts to intimate interviews with professional-grade clarity.

Equipped with two high-performance XLR/TRS combo inputs, each with its own dedicated physical gain control knob and -20dB pad, the H5 allows for the simultaneous recording of up to four tracks. It supports high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/96kHz in BWF-compliant WAV or various MP3 formats. Beyond standalone recording, the H5 functions as a powerful multi-channel USB audio interface for PC, Mac, and iPad. With a backlit LCD, built-in effects (including compression and low-cut filtering), and a rugged build, the Zoom H5 remains a gold standard for high-fidelity mobile audio capture.
