Creators everywhere are using Zoom Handy Recorders to capture sound and sample audio like never before. The new H1n is the ultimate take-anywhere recorder for every creator’s gear bag.

Zoom Your Audio Anywhere and Everywhere

The H1n's X/Y microphones capture high-quality stereo sound, supporting up to 24-bit audio at sampling rates of 44.1, 48, or 96 kHz in WAV and various MP3 formats

New Controls

With the H1n, we’ve redesigned the user experience. One-touch button controls make it simple to record songs, audio-for-film, lectures, podcasting, and more. And its new monochromatic 1.25” LCD display is easy to read even in the brightest lighting conditions.

Distortion-Free Recording

An advanced onboard limiter offers distortion-free signal up to 120 dB SPL, cleanly recording the loudest of bands.

A low-cut filter also helps eliminate pops and unwanted low frequency rumble.

Unlimited Overdubbing

The overdub function lets you add layers of audio, allowing for richer and fuller sounding recordings.

Transcription Made Easy

The H1n’s Playback Speed Control lets you transcribe music, interviews and other types of recordings without altering pitch.

Don’t Miss the Moment

You can also set the H1n to auto-record, pre-record, and self-time, making sure you always capture the moment.

Mark and Sync

New tone generator makes it easy to calibrate your H1n and camera audio levels.

The Connections You Need

An ⅛" stereo mic/line input lets you record with your external microphones or other sound sources, and supplies plug-in power (2.5 volts). Connect headphones via the ⅛" headphones output with dedicated volume control. You can also use the H1n’s built-in speaker to listen to your recordings.

The H1n’s USB port provides a digital output of the stereo mix and allows data to be send to and from your computer. It also allows the H1n to be used as a USB microphone and a microSD card reader.

Free Recording Software

The Zoom H1n comes with free download licenses for Steinberg’s Cubase LE music production software and WaveLab LE audio editing software.

Where will the H1n take you?

Maximum Capacity

The H1n is battery-powered and offers up to 10 hours of recording time. Put it in your pocket, toss it in your backpack, or mount it to a camera—the H1n travels wherever you do.
