Zoom H5studio 6-Track 32-Bit Float Audio Handy Recorder

Zoom H5studio Handy Recorder with 32-Bit Float & F-Series Preamps

The Zoom H5studio is a 4-in/2-out USB audio interface for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android, supporting 32-bit float and 16/24-bit recording.

Designed for professional creators, the Zoom H5Studio Handy Recorder offers uncompromising audio quality with premium components and advanced functionality. Capture pristine sound using large-diaphragm microphones, professional F-series preamps, and 32-bit float technology for clip-free recording in any environment.

Industry-Leading Microphone Design

Equipped with the largest microphones ever on a Handy Recorder, the H5Studio features 19.4mm capsules. These oversized mics deliver a rich frequency response, handle up to 140 dB SPL, and provide a wide dynamic range. The increased diaphragm size enhances depth and clarity, making it ideal for music, voice, or field recordings.

Professional F-Series Preamps

Each input uses Zoom’s renowned F-series preamps, delivering ultra-clean gain with a noise floor as low as -127 dBu EIN. Dual AD converters combined with 32-bit float capture every detail with a dynamic range of up to 132 db. Whether you’re recording a whisper or a scream, the result is clear and distortion-free.

H5studio Supports 32-Bit Float and Traditional Recording in One

The H5 Studio supports 32-bit float for worry-free recording without gain adjustments. It also offers 16-bit and 24-bit formats for workflows that don’t require post-processing. Physical gain knobs offer hands-on control, letting you record in 32-bit float while maintaining manual input adjustment—no clipping, no compromise.

H5studio Records Up to Multi-Track Flexibility

Record up to six tracks simultaneously—four isolated tracks plus a stereo mix. Capture in WAV format with sample rates up to 192 kHz, giving you high-resolution audio for professional production needs.

RF Shielding for Clean Recordings

Internal shielding protects your recordings from interference caused by smartphones and Wi-Fi routers. Whether you’re in the studio or on location, your audio stays clean and uninterrupted.

Advanced Look-Ahead Limiting

The built-in “look-ahead” limiters anticipate sudden spikes and apply smooth gain reduction before clipping can occur. This real-time protection ensures your recordings stay distortion-free.

H5studio Includes Versatile Input Options

The H5 Studio includes two locking XLR/TRS combo jacks that support +48V phantom power and +4dBu line-level signals. A 3.5mm stereo input jack with plug-in power is also available for connecting lavaliers or compact microphones.

H5studio Compatible with Capsule System 3.0 Support

Compatible with Zoom’s next-generation Capsule System 3.0, the H5 Studio allows interchangeable mic capsules with support for 32-bit float. Easily swap mics to suit different recording environments. Compatible capsules include the SSH-6e, EXH-6e, and WLM-1.

H5studio Supports High-Quality Output Options

• Headphone Output: Monitor with precision using the powerful 20mW headphone out.
• Line Output: Send audio directly to a camera via the 3.5mm stereo line out for quick A/V sync.
• Built-In Speaker: Preview recordings anywhere using the 250mW onboard speaker.

USB Audio Interface

The H5 Studio doubles as a 4-in/2-out USB audio interface. Connect to Mac, Windows, iOS, or Android and record in either 32-bit float or 1 6/24-bit formats. Ideal for livestreaming or recording directly to a microSD card as a backup.

Precision Timecode Sync

With the optional TCA-1 timecode adapter, you can generate, jam, or receive timecode with incredible accuracy using a TCXO (temperature-compensated crystal oscillator). The result is sync precision within 0.5 frames over 24 hours. Wireless timecode sync is also possible via the ATOMOS UltraSync BLUE.

Remote Control and Synchronization

Use the Zoom Handy Control & Sync app on iOS to control multiple Zoom recorders remotely. Start and stop recording and sync timecode across devices wirelessly for streamlined multi-device setups.

Power Options

Record for up to 15 hours using four AA alkaline batteries. For extended sessions, power the H5 Studio via USB using a mobile battery pack or an AC adapter.

Built-in Accessibility

Designed with accessibility in mind, the H5 Studio includes audio prompts for navigation—accessible via the built-in speaker or headphones. It supports multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian, and Chinese.
