Take it everywhere

Smaller than most cell phones and weighing in at just two ounces, you can take the ultra-portable H1 wherever you go—live concerts and band rehearsals, location video shoots, lectures and meetings.

Recording made simple

The H1”s built-in X/Y microphone provides two matched unidirectional microphones set at a 90 degree angle relative to one another. The X/Y technique provides a great way to cover a wide area while still capturing sound sources in the center with clarity and definition, making it perfect for all types of live stereo recording.

Alternatively, you can connect a pair of external microphones or line level signal to the H1”s Mic/Line Input mini phone jack for other types of stereo recording.

In addition, there”s a Line/Headphones Output with a dedicated volume control so you can plug in headphones or interconnect the H1 with other equipment such as a DSLR. There”s even a built-in speaker for fast monophonic monitoring of the recorded signal without the need to make any connections.

Also a USB microphone

When you”re ready to take your recordings to the next level, simply connect the H1 to your computer via USB and launch your favorite editing software, such as the supplied WaveLab LE. The H1 can even be used as a 2-in/2-out audio interface or USB microphone.
