H5studio 32-Bit Float Recorder

The Zoom H5studio is a four-track portable recorder built for videographers, podcasters and field recordists who need professional audio on location. Its X/Y stereo microphone uses 19.4 mm capsules to capture a wide frequency response with natural spatial depth. Integrated RF shielding keeps recordings clean near smartphones and wireless gear.

32-Bit Float Headroom

32-bit float recording removes the need to set gain levels, so quiet dialogue and loud concerts up to 140 dB SPL are captured without clipping. Traditional 16-bit and 24-bit modes are also available at sample rates up to 192 kHz. The recorder handles four simultaneous tracks plus a stereo mix, with two XLR/TRS combo inputs providing 48 V phantom power for external microphones.

Capsule 3.0 and Timecode Limits

The unit accepts Zoom Capsule System 3.0 modules to swap microphone configurations for different scenes. The bundled TCA-1 adapter adds SMPTE timecode synchronisation for multi-camera shoots, but the recorder itself has no internal timecode generator. Buyers needing more than two analogue inputs or built-in timecode generation will need a larger field recorder.

Questions about this item

Will the 19.4mm X/Y capsules and 48V phantom inputs work with my existing dynamic and condenser microphones?

The large 19.4mm X/Y stereo microphone captures up to 140 dB SPL, and the two XLR/TRS combo inputs provide 48V phantom power for condenser microphones while accepting dynamic microphones directly.

How do I verify the 32-bit float recording and timecode sync are active during a session?

The colour LCD screen displays the active sample rate up to 192 kHz, bit depth and timecode status, while the F-Series preamps deliver -127 dB EIN for a clean noise floor you can monitor through headphones.

Does the bundle include the Zoom TCA-1 Timecode Adapter and screen cloths, or must I buy them separately?

The box contains the H5studio recorder, the Zoom TCA-1 Timecode Adapter and a 5-pack of screen cleaning cloths; no extra purchase is required for those items.
