{"product_id":"zoom-h1essential-32-bit-float-stereo-handy-recorder","title":"Zoom H1essential 32-Bit Float Stereo Handy Recorder","description":"\u003cp\u003eZoom calls the H1essential the world's easiest recorder, and the front panel backs the claim up. There is one record button, a fixed stereo microphone and 32-bit float recording underneath, which removes the one setting that most often ruins a take.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhy 32-bit float matters here\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn a conventional recorder you set a gain knob before the take and live with the outcome. Set it low and the noise floor rises when you normalise, set it high and the peaks clip. The H1essential records in 32-bit float, capturing the full range of the source in a single pass. A whispered line and a snare hit in the same file both survive, and the level gets pulled where you want it in the editor afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCleaning up the room\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAI Noise Reduction targets steady background noise, the constant hum that comes from air conditioning, fridges and traffic. Switching it on lowers the noise floor so speech sits clear of the room. If you prefer to work the old way, gain can be adjusted during recording, which significantly reduces the tidying up needed in post-production. MP3 recording is there as well, for the times when the file simply has to be small enough to send.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAccessibility\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Essential Series was designed with blind and visually impaired creators in mind. Menus are described aloud through the built-in speaker or headphones, so the recorder can be driven without looking at it. Seven languages are covered, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian and Chinese, with the non English options added from Zoom's Support and Downloads page.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePractical details\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe built-in microphone is a 90 degree XY stereo pair. There is a MIC\/LINE IN jack for an external microphone and a combined headphone and line output for monitoring, plus a built-in speaker for checking a take on the spot. USB Type-C handles file transfer and lets the H1essential act as a USB microphone for calls and streaming. Recording goes to microSD card, metering appears on a 128 x 64 OLED, and the unit weighs 92 g with batteries fitted. Two AAA cells give about 10 hours on alkalines, around 9 hours on NiMH rechargeables and roughly 18 hours on lithium, or you can run it from the ZOOM AD-17 supply.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zoom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49101172244736,"sku":"H1ESSENTIAL","price":123.85,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0871\/5776\/files\/zoom-h1essential-01.jpg?v=1785436050","url":"https:\/\/musicshop.sg\/products\/zoom-h1essential-32-bit-float-stereo-handy-recorder","provider":"Musicshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
