High Volume. Clean Recording
Recording with an X/Y microphone allows you to cover a wider area while capturing sound sources in the center. The clarity and high resolution of this microphone make it an ideal solution for live stereo recording of any kind. The included XYH-5 microphone capsule for the Zoom H5 handheld recorder features two cardioid condenser microphones angled at 90 degrees. Encased in a modern housing with contact wires inside, the body is made of special rubber material to isolate the microphones from the recorder and minimize vibration and noise.
The XYH-5 design also allows for superior recording of loud sounds better than any other handheld recorder. Specifically, its sound pressure level threshold is 140dB SPL, equivalent to the sound of an airplane flying less than 60 meters away. With the XYH-5, you can record sounds of almost any volume with stunning accuracy, quality, and clarity. Swapping microphone capsules is very easy and quick, requiring no additional skills or knowledge.
New Level of Recording Quality
The optional detachable Mid-Side microphone capsule will elevate your recording quality to a whole new level. The MSH-6 consists of two microphone elements - a forward-facing mid mic and a side mic that can be directed in any direction. This approach allows for capturing sound in stereo quality and highlighting all the nuances of the sound. Equipped with MS decoding technology and the ability to record up to 6 tracks simultaneously, the MSH-6 opens up a multitude of possibilities in post-production.
Professional Sound Recording
The optional SGH-6 capsule will complement your recorder with a professional directional microphone ideal for recording audio for movies, home videos, theatrical performances, and news reports. Three elements, combined with digital signal processing, give the SGH-6 the capabilities of a high-directional shotgun microphone while maintaining half the size. It is perfect for recording dialogues and narration in the absence of a stationary microphone on stage.
Broad Compatibility
By connecting the optional EXH-6 Dual XLR/TRS combo capsule, you will gain two additional jacks. This will allow you to connect up to four different signals from external microphones, instruments, mixers, or portable music players. With the EXH-6, you will have powerful capabilities of a professional sound recording studio that fits in the palm of your hand.
