Four tracks of simultaneous recording and interchangeable mic capsules make the H5 flexible and powerful enough to meet the evolving needs of today's creators. The design of the XYH-5 mic capsule allows the H5 to handle up to 140dB SPL- equivalent to the sound of a jet aircraft from less than 200 feet away. And to keep your levels under control, the H5 offers compression limiting. The H5's rubberized housing and shock-mounted microphones minimize vibration and handling noise, while a low-cut filter helps to eliminate wind noise and other kinds of low frequency rumble. The H5 utilizes the same high-quality, low-noise preamps as Zoom's H6, ensuring great-sounding recordings in all sonic environments. The Pre-Record function captures and saves two seconds before you hit Record- perfect for unexpected starts. The Auto-Record function allows the H5 to automatically start and stop recording at predefined sound levels. The H5's Backup-Record* function automatically records a duplicate set of L/R tracks with 12db less input gain. The audio safety net helps to protect your recordings. *44.1 and 48kHz WAV files only. Inputs and Outputs Ins: The H5'sXLR/TRS combo inputs can handle both mic- and line-level signals for microphones, wireless receivers, mixers, keyboards and more. Each input has a dedicated gain control knob. The supplied XYH-5 capsule also provides an additional mic/line input via a 1/8" mini phone jack. Outs: A Line Out with adjustable volume allows you to send audio from the H5 to the input of a camera or other device without the need for an attenuator cable. IN addition, there's a separate headphone output with a dedicated volume control. You can use both outputs simultaneously to route audio to your DSLE while monitoring with headphones. Record continuously for over 15 hours with just 2 AA batteries or extend your recording time infinitely with the optional AD-17 AC adapter. The H5 can record up to six monophonic WAV files (or up to three stereo files) in any of the following formats: 44.1kHz/16-bit, 44.1kHz/24-bit, 48kHz/16-bit, 48kHz/24-bit, 96kHz/16-bit, 96kHz/24-bit.
