what's going on 13 market from God
tracks for its taking a look at the zoom
h1 microphone now this wolf thing is
actually really nice and pretty cheap up
is an alternative to a very
professional-sounding microphone out
this thing has two little microphones
here on the two on the top here
basically and their record basically all
around you so it's a nice little
surround sound recording the two-channel
format and either mp3 or wav format so
really nice high quality audio i can get
a lot more audio recording of the mp3
format since the best rates a little bit
different 16 to go kilobytes in size of
40 4 kilobytes a second but the WAV file
give you a little bit more audio quality
audio recording here let's go ahead and
take a closer look of zoom h1 microphone
and see if it's a pretty good microphone
is a comparable to the zoom h2 next we
reviewed earlier
let's find out so here is a closer look
at the zoom h1 microphone basically it's
a really nice candy bar sighs a little
device here it's really lightweight but
it feels pretty solid and really
high-quality stuff it's still pretty
plasticky but there's no creaks and
makes it really fits nice in the hand
and it feels really nice when you're
holding it now i would just take a
closer look here the microphone setup is
basically have an x and y set up
basically and these little two capsules
were recorded basically all around this
little microphone array so you have a
microphone right over here every house
will have some more grills right over
here look at other side we got a grill
inside and then all around so you can
capture around you or you can be a more
of a out interview so be left to right
or front and back kind of recording
style and you have a headphone and
basically a headphone jack
let's have a built-in speaker but it is
a pretty low speaker but you know you
put if you are in a loud situation you
can hear your recording or wire can hook
up your headphones are our head jack and
you will listen and you'll be able to
listen to your according to have a
volume rocker you do have your microsd
card slot which can take up to 32
gigabytes if you want to invest in that
card comes with a 2 gigabyte
pre-installed actually and here is a
line inside
have a little bit of better of a
microphone you want to use or a you know
what I wonder you can hook up to a
person you can actually put that here
and still be able to record with this
microphone and bad audio file you have
your input levels you can change and
adjust the audio quality from the from
the other microphone you have a fast
forward to publicly and pause rewind
trashcan a power on and hold switch and
you also have your USB here now the
thing about zoom microphones are BR very
portable and they don't require charging
because they actually run on double-a
batteries now some people say well I
don't like double a's but actually these
things will you know pretty lost about
10 to 15 hours every single battery so
it's actually a really nice way so you
don't have to keep charging anything so
let's go ahead and turn this thing on
will switch to the microphone over here
right now interaction recording on a
built-in microphone on a on a camcorder
and right now you guys can see my audio
levels right here i am recording at a
WAV and forty four kilobytes a second
set of eight instead of going to the mp3
format and recording in 16 kilobytes a
second let's go ahead and start
recording right now we'll switch the
audio so now we are recording straight
on the zoom h1 microphone here about a
foot and a half away from my mouth and
voices coming up so you guys can
probably tell here but the audio sounds
a lot more crisp very clear could
probably some just a little bit
different from the built-in microphone
on my camcorder so I mean this is a
really big difference and I mean really
a reportable form factors only $89 to
pick up i actually have an amazon link
and the in the description and also in
the post that will probably get for even
a little bit more cheaper than rb7 or
$89 price tag at MSRP now this is a very
excellent microphones very portable last
all day and probably last several days
depending on where you going
we are actually going to use this one
and the h2 next at CES for all biab all
the interviews were doing and everything
we're doing there so this gives you
really nice professional audio and a
very cheap package that still sounds
really good so again it is
