Ideal for large-scale projects

The H8 professional handheld audio recorder from Zoom is eminently suited to projects of a larger scale thanks to its 12-track simultaneous audio recording capability and no less than eight adjustable input channels: An interchangeable X/Y microphone capsule (XYH-6), four XLR sockets, and two XLR/TRS combo sockets.

High-performance technology

The H8 comes with Zoom’s interchangeable XYH-6 X/Y capsule, which comprises two rotatable unidirectional (cardioid) microphones for wider audio capture with a stereo feel as well as an easy-to-use, snap-on mechanism that allows it to be quickly replaced by another Zoom microphone module depending on the user’s requirements. This high-quality audio recorder boasts not only numerous inputs, each of which comes with a -20dB pad and phantom power supply (+24V, +48V), but also a high-performance, low-noise microphone preamp for professional-quality audio recording. The H8 supports recording in BWF-compatible WAV formats up to 24 bit/96kHz, MP3 formats up to 320kBps, and data storage on SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards with a capacity of up to 512GB. In conjunction with the included X/Y microphone, the Zoom H8 audio recorder can be continuously operated on batteries for approximately 15 hours (which may vary depending on the use scenario).

About Zoom

Founded in 1983, the Japanese company Zoom manufactures a variety of audio equipment, including a range of portable "handy" recorders as well as multi-effects processors, effects pedals, drum machines, and samplers. Over the past thirty years, the company has built a reputation for producing innovative yet affordable products based on original microchip designs. Since the Zoom-9002 (an ultra-compact multi-effects processor that can be attached to a guitar strap) was introduced in 1990, Zoom has become one of the leaders in digital audio processing.

Apps for field recording, music production, and podcasts

The Zoom H8 comes with three app-based user interfaces that have been specifically tailored to the requirements of different recording scenarios. The Podcast app offers dedicated sound pads, for example, that allow sound effects to be launched from a selection of 13 integrated preset sounds or from the user’s own uploaded samples. The Field app provides instant access to large meter displays as well as input type and internal signal processing functions such as low-cut filter and compressor, which makes it the perfect tool for field recording and conferences. The Music app converts the touchscreen into a fully functional mixing console comprising faders, audio levels, recording functions (pre-record, overdub, etc.), and internal effects.
