The built-in reference speaker is on the bottom of the unit.  What sets Zoom apart?  Like all Zoom recorders, the H1's onboard microphones are configured in an X/Y pattern, for stunning stereo imaging. Because both mics are arranged on the same axis, they are equidistant from the sound source for perfect localization and no phase shifting. The result is great stereo recordings with natural depth and accurate imaging.  Under your thumb…  With its newly designed user interface, the H1 is also our easiest recorder to use. All its functions are at your fingertips, such as track marker, auto record, low cut filter, level and volume controls with on-board buttons…No menus required!  Intuitive controls make it easy to capture the audio you need with ease. But it still provides the versatility you've come to expect from Zoom. So you get total recording format flexibility from 16-bit/44.1 kHz to 24-bit/96 kHz WAV, or MP3 from 48 kbps to 320 kbps and enough tools onboard to make impeccable recordings.  Secure your digital memories.  The H1 records on microSD cards and comes with a 2GB card. Using a 32 GB microSD card allows over 50 hours of recording time at 16-bit/44.1 kHz. MicroSD cards were specifically designed for the ever-evolving mobile technology market. Approximately the size of a fingernail, the microSD card is a significant advance in technology and its size and capacity are a major reason why the H1 is able to deliver so much recording technology in such a small package.  Share the love.  With its Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port, the H1 allows for fast transfer of your audio files to your computer. Listen, edit and share with your fans on your Mac or PC.

An indispensible part of any serious musician's arsenal, the H1 makes recording rehearsals and practice sessions easier than ever.

Songwriters - More Hit Wonders  Isn't it time you heard your masterpieces in beautiful stereo that rivals a professional recording studio? Zoom knows you're the creative type, not an engineer. That's why Zoom made the H1 so easy to setup and navigate. So you can keep the inspiration going.

Bands - On the Road, On the Run.  There are so many applications for your band and the H1. Start with learning new songs. If you're the guy who teaches the songs, record each part on an H1 and email it to the members of your band. If you're the one who books the band, you band needs to get heard. And everyone in the group needs to hear their performance to get better. The H1 makes capturing your performance easy, even when you're cranking out high SPLs.  Video and Film Professionals - Indie Shoots That Don't Sound Indie.   With DSLR cameras that shoot incredible HD video, the need for a better audio solution has emerged. The H1 will easily shoe mount on top of a video or DSLR camera. And because it has a standard 1/4-20 mount on the bottom, you can place the H1 anywhere on your rig. Use the stereo output jack to connect directly to the audio input on your camera, or bring the audio into your editing suite using the USB connection. The H1 is the perfect entry point for those getting started with dual source shooting.  Journalism - Scoop Central…   These days, a journalist needs the ablility to capture broadcast ready interviews whenever or wherever they occur. Imagine being able to spontaneously capture the kind of audio your producer needs and send it remotely via email. That's what the H1 provides. It's literally a recording studio in your pocket!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What does this device actually record onto - some sort of a memory card or flash drive? I'm looking for something that will record at least 6 hours.**
A: You get roughly 12 hours on the 2GB micro SD card included, in MP3 320kbps. Quality is excellent.

If you want WAV format your looking at about 2.5 hours with the stock card.

Larger cards are cheap though so it's upgradable.

**Q: can I record a piece to video with the Zoom recording my voice and then synch it to video?**
A: Sure thing. I use mine as a primary aiduo recorder for my Nikon D5300. I use the sound from the camera as areference track and then stnc the wave file from the Zoom to the video using Final Cut X. Works perfect with much better sound quality.

**Q: How can I use the zoom h1 as a dslr mic.?   If it is possible do I have to press record on the zoom h1 and and press the record button on the dslr whe**
A: Just a note about recording into a dslr: the bitrate and sample rate you set on the zoom doesn't affect the bitrate and sample rate recorded onto the dslr file. Your dslr always determines the bitrate and sample rate. (IE: for most Canon's that's 44khz/16 bit). The audio quality from the zoom will be better than your on-camera mic simply because the microphone itself is higher quality,  but don't expect to be recording 96khz/24 bit audio straight into your dslr's .mov files!

**Q: Does anyone use multiple recorders at the same time with some sort of syncing software? I plan to use 6 to record classrooms and want sync w/video.**
A: There's a pretty simple trick to help with this. Get all the recorders going, then the camera. While in view of the camera, and with the room quiet, clap loudly 3 times. This will give you 3 distinct spikes in the various audio tracks which you can use to synchronize the audio and video tracks.
