(1) Pocket Recorder / HN218800

Description of product

The ZOOM H8 is a professional pocket-sized digital recorder with an interchangeable microphone capsule. It will fulfill all your expectations of a professional recording device. Whatever you need to record, you will always be able to rely on perfect recording quality. The recorder is capable of recording up to 140 dB of sound source, which is equivalent to the volume level of a plane taking off. This gives you the opportunity to record everything from very close, louder and with better quality.

A huge advantage of this recorder is the interchangeable microphone capsules. Thanks to them, you can adapt your recorder to any situation. For example, the VRH-8 ambisonic microphone is a great extension of the H8. All inputs have three-level phantom power +12/+24/+48V.

The Zoom H8 is suitable for podcast recording, where you can use the Sound Pads to trigger sound effects, background music, etc. You can choose from 13 sounds, but of course you can also load your own from an SD card. The recorder is also great for recording music, with 10 inputs and 12 tracks, so you can record a large group of music. Use EQ and compression to mix, overdub and enhance your recordings. Connect to the Guitar Lab app via USB to access a range of amps and other effects. For sound design, conferencing, field recording, and more, the Field app comes in handy. It will give you instant access to large, clear LED meters for each track.

The recorder includes four combined XLR/TRS inputs. Each of these inputs has its own Gain control. The H8 features a line level stereo output, headphone output and, thanks to the USB interface, the recorder can be used as an audio interface for an iPad, PC or other device. In addition, the integrated speaker allows for instant playback and control of recordings. You can then monitor the recording progress on the clear colour LCD touch screen. The Zoom H8 can be powered for over 20 hours using four AA batteries or unlimited power via an adapter. Data is stored on SD or SDHC cards with a capacity of up to 128 GB.
