Product Rating Product Review I would highly recommend this product from american musical. They handled my order with professionalism and fast shipping. I use this product often and i must say it is pretty solid. The quality that you get out of this badboy is clean and clear. I do like how it is modular, meaning that I can change the microphone type based on the specificity of the project. I've done ASMR and voice overs with this and I must say so far it's going.

Product Review As a novice Podcaster this unit was very user friendly. I loved the fact that I can use either the SD card for storage or plug right into my PC and effortlessly have my own audio recording station. I can do my recording even on the road as it has its own removable mic. I only had this maybe 2 weeks and I am in love with this unit. I have a Focusrite 212 setup as well but there is so much more flexibility when I can have the same options in my car, on the plane or for an impromptu demo. The cost was very worth it!

Product Review I would call myself a beginner to intermediate level user, so keep that in mind reading my review. I'm a singer for a metal band and I use this quite regularly to archive my own vocal parts as well as get live recordings hooked up to our bands PA. I chose this recorder over my formerly trusty Tascam DR40 and I'm glad I made the switch. My tascam (as well as other brands) require menu navigation to select which source to record from. More than once have we played out an entire song with my Tascam hooked up to the PA only to find out that the input select was still set on the on-board mics. I wanted to scream. I am back and forth between recording random lyrics and vocal snippets while I drive to hooking up to the PA and recording the full band. I like being able to simply push the buttons and see the input selection light up. No menu, no fuss. This unit has been pretty bulletproof thus far. The only gripe I have is memory capacity. I took the 64 gig card out of my Tascam and put it into this Zoom only to see that it didn't acknowledge the card. Had to run out and buy a smaller card to work with the recorder that is an upgrade from my Tascam. Seemed weird. I'll admit it's not as comfortable and convenient to hold as my Tascam was, but the option of switching recording heads (even though i've yet to do so) make this unit's physical awkwardness well worth it. I look forward to being able to hook this up to the PA at a gig, get 2 channels from the PA and still record 2 ambient channels of "house sound" simultaneously.

Product Review The quality of recording of this little one is perfect to record from the DJ booth for my wedding films. The sound is clear and clean. The only downside is that it doesn't record a second file with lower settings as a back up.

Product Review Zoom does it right. This is the second H5 I've owned and it is my favorite of their models. Yes, it will work without a mic capsule, making it very small while having two XLR inputs. It cannot be beat.
