The perfect introduction to the world of recording devices

I ordered the H1 Handy Recorder from Zoom Company of Japan two years ago and was favorably impressed at first. With a price of just under 100, - the equipment for beginners is ideal. Included with the recorder a 2GB micro SD card and a AA battery are included, so that the buyer can immediately familiar with the absorption characteristics of the device. With a AA battery, the device can be operated up to 10 hours continuously. The other devices cheap compared price makes very quickly noticeable in the simple processing of the case. Here was worked predominantly with plastic, but this in no way adversely affects the feel of the device. It fits comfortably and easily in the hand and fits into any pocket.
In the audio recording, the user can choose between the following formats MP3 (up to 320kbit) and .wav (up to 24 bit / 96kHz). The integrated X / Y stereo microphone ensures high quality voice recording in a quiet atmosphere. Used to but outside of this device mainly and must reckon with noise, it is recommended to necessarily buy the expansion pack not included. With corresponding windshield and hand tripod succeed in this case also exterior shots surprisingly well.
The on the back of the device to use low-cut filter also recommended for almost any shooting, because it prevents unwanted noise in the low frequency range. The use of Auto Level switch in my opinion it is not advisable to as conditionally remarkably varies by the automatic volume control adjusts the level in the recording. For this device so it is advisable einzupegeln manually prior to recording on the input switch.
For the direct monitoring recording spot a built-in speaker, but which does not ensure a good audio output provides. For the low price, however, you should not set too high standards in this field.
Of course, can be done to control the uptake via the finely crafted headphone output.
Can be connected for receiving an integrated microphone input with corresponding adapter optional another microphone.
The rather small display is easy to operate. In a few steps, the user can set the date using the side of the device multifunctional buttons. This pretends not fortunately, even if the battery is removed in the meantime.
To gather the ideal equipment to first experience in voice recording and field recording. Definitely recommended.
