The Zoom H5studio is a compact and powerful cell phone recorder for professional studio-quality audio recording. With its 32-bit float recording, low-noise microphone preamps from the Zoom F series and an extended dynamic range, it offers clipping-free recording without the need for extensive post-processing.
The H5studio's 19.4 mm microphones deliver a particularly clear and detailed sound image with a maximum sound pressure level of 140 dB. This ensures a precise audio signal even in loud environments such as concerts, shoots or reports.

The high-quality microphone preamps with an equivalent input noise of just -127 dBu are based on the proven technology of the professional Zoom F series. They enable a particularly transparent sound with plenty of headroom and a dynamic range of up to 132 dB.
The H5studio records up to six tracks simultaneously - four mono single tracks plus a stereo mix - and supports sampling rates of up to 192 kHz. This also makes it suitable for particularly high-quality productions.
The Zoom H5studio can also be used as a USB audio interface. With four inputs and two outputs, it is suitable for use with Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. Simultaneous live streaming and backup recording on
Effective RF shielding reliably protects recordings from interference from smartphones or wireless networks - an important detail for professional use in uncontrolled environments.

Look-ahead limiters detect level peaks in advance and prevent distortion before it even occurs. This ensures clean recordings even with sudden volume fluctuations. This protective function is supplemented by a high-pass filter to reduce low-frequency noise, a normalization function, A-B playback and variable playback speeds. An integrated start tone facilitates synchronisation with DSLR video material. In addition, voice guidance ensures barrier-free operation, especially for visually impaired users.
The H5studio's integrated colour display enables precise visual control by simultaneously displaying input levels and waveforms in real time. This allows recordings to be reliably monitored and optimally controlled. For use in film production, the recorder also offers extended timecode integration: the optional TCA-1 adapter enables precise synchronisation with external cameras and recorders - even wirelessly in conjunction with the ATOMOS UltraSync BLUE.
