Featuring three internal microphones and ready for a wide range of creative applications including field recording, capturing speech and musical performances, and Foley work, the Zoom H2essential puts powerful, flexible, and intuitive recording with surround capabilities in the palm of your hand.
3 Built-In Microphones for Flexible Recording Options
The H2essential is the only Handy Recorder with three internal microphones. With the ability to select different mic patterns, it gives creators more options than ever before. The recorder features two cardioid mics facing front and rear and a bidirectional mic facing side to side, allowing you to choose the perfect pick-up pattern for every recording.
Set your pickup pattern to 90 or 120° stereo, or choose mono for a hyper directional pickup, reducing background noise. Then choose to record from the front, rear, or activate both sides for surround sound pickup. Record in MS Raw, and control the width of the stereo image in postproduction by adjusting the mid-side levels—terrific for controlling ambient noise.
Powered by 32-bit Float
With 32-bit float recording, you can stop worrying about setting levels and focus on creating powerful, immersive content for your audience. The extended dynamic range means you'll never need to stress about clipping, the dual A/D converters can handle anything just about anything loud you throw at them, while even very low-level signals can be normalized without introducing noise and artifacts.
he H2essential supports sampling rates up to 96 kHz and when connected to a PC, Mac, iOS, or Android device using the USB-C port, it can be used as a USB microphone while simultaneously recording to the SD card. The compact recorder makes a great fit for on-the-go podcasting and streaming to your mobile device.
