- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- I really love this little recorder.
I have many of these portable recorders & I have to say the Zoom H1E really stands out amongst them all.
Naturally, they all have their strengths and weaknesses, but the Zoom H1E seems a really good all-rounder.

06:53 - 07:22 - River
07:23 - 07:57 - Reservoir Ambience
07:58 - 08:26 - Gentle Blowing Leaves.
All sounds gathered are straight from the unit with no post processing other than levels. The only clip that had anything else on was the wind blowing the dried leaves - This had a low cut activated on the unit at 80hz to help prevent rumble from the wind.

Hi Ryan,
My wife recently bought me the Zoom H1essential recorder and my limited tests have impressed me so far. However your recordings have taken it to a whole new level. I am even more happy with this recorder and can't wait to get some recordings of my own. I thank you for the work you have put in here to showcase how good this recorder sounds.
@@Riz_ Hi Riz. Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed the video. Have fun exploring with it 😃.
First H1e field recordings I hear. Good stuff!
Thanks 🙏. I was keen to get on a field test for this one early as that’s mainly what I use my recorders for. Glad you liked it.

@@radkej you’re welcome ☺️. Glad it helped
Nice test and review video, oh, and thank you for helping the sheep.
@@GuidoBeutler thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve rescued a couple of lambs up there recently too - they seem to always get themselves into trouble for some reason ahah
@@EQAVOX yes that't true. Where I live the some wildlife welfare organisation asked people on sosial media to help if there's some sheep in trouble. If you wouldn't have helped the sheep would have died. They can't get up themselves but I think this you know much better than me. Again, nice video, I like tests in the field instead of theoretical measurements in a lab.
You saved that sheep's life. They will die if nobody helps them back on their feet. If you ever see a sheep on its back, HELP IT.
Oh absolutely. I used to have some sheep 🐑 back in the day and know they can get themselves in trouble very often sadly.
Even if its legs hadn’t been moving, I’d have probably gone over to check. Couldn’t have just left it like the people ahead of me did.
Glad it had a happy ending though. I’ve seen it again since when passing and it’s in the field as normal with its flock again.
I have the old H1n, absolutely love it. These samples sound great, thanks for sharing!
Thanks 🙏. I never had the pleasure of owning the H1N but I know it’s a bit of a classic
Well done on helping the sheep, she would have died if you hadn't helped, great job and great video.
Thank you :)
Really nice sound examples.. thank you
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for this! Something I'd be interested in hearing is the preamp's noise when you're recording in a really quiet environment, both with the internal mics and an external microphone. I watched someone else's review of the H1e, and when they whispered about 1 foot away from the internal mics, the recorder's self-noise was a bit too high -- but I couldn't tell just how quietly he was speaking, or if the self-noise was mostly due to the pre-amps or the internal mics.
You’re welcome mate. I do think the self noise / preamps could have been improved by now. By all accounts, there seems to be no improvement in that respect in previous versions sadly.
For me, I’d probably use my tascam dr100mkiii for quieter stuff because the preamps are far better. I’m hoping zoom do another update on these and get those preamps sorted. They don’t need to be sensational, but they do need improvement.
I think I’ll use this for louder sounds more than anything else for that reason.
If I have time, I’ll try and piece together some sort of test of the self noise and put it through its paces. I’m worried it may sound awful in that context though, when it’s actually a really good sounding device overall. I’d like to compare with some of my other recorders with self noise too perhaps some time.
@@EQAVOX I figured as much! I find that the Zoom H1's preamp is actually pretty good if you think of it as a fixed +13 dB preamp (at level 37 - anything lower uses a different circuit and is too noisy, and anything higher adds volume but the noise increases by the same amount). At that specific level, it's actually quieter than my Roland R-05, which is supposedly better overall.
What I usually do is run the external mics through a cleaner pre-amp into the Zoom H1. I mostly do this to record live shows. Music that isn't super dynamic sounds great that way. Where I run into trouble is when the music has VERY loud and also very quiet parts. Then I use the external pre-amp as an attenuation pad so that the louder parts don't clip, but then the quiet parts get too quiet for the Zoom H1 - I can amplify them in post, but then you can clearly hear the H1's pre-amps.
I think that if I could run my external pre-amp with some proper gain into the Zoom H1e for loud music without clipping, then the quiet parts will sound good too because the signal will be healthier. The thing is that while the Zoom H1e is 32 bit float, that doesn't mean that a very hot signal won't overload the analogue stage before the sound is even converted to 32 bit float. I don't know how far I can push the Zoom H1e's mic input.
I'm also trying to get into field recording (I've just received a pair of clippys!), so maybe the Zoom H1e isn't for me. My ideal recorder would be something like a Zoom F3 with 5-9V PiP and a stereo 1/8" input jack. I was really looking forward to the Deity PR-2 (it ticks all the boxes - super clean pre-amp, tiny, enough PiP to power my mics without a battery box, 32 bit float), but it's been delayed several times, so I was considering the Zoom H1e. I probably should just wait for the Deity, though.
@@Rairun1 I had the Roland R05 and really enjoyed it. Particularly the metal, it made it very forgiving with handling noise. Sadly it broke on me after a while but I might get one again someday.
You are going to absolutely love the clippys. I have used mine to death and am still rocking them. I’m looking to use them with the H1E at some point to see what that’s like.
Your dream recorder setup sounds awesome. Mine would be 32-bit float, pip, 2 x XLR, some metal in the body to reduce handling noise, mics you can rotate to 3 positions like the Sony A10, good preamps with low self noise. I don’t want much haha 😃😅
Nice job dude. Got mine earlier this week and plan to go out this weekend to give it a good test.
Cheers mate. It’s always exciting getting that new kit and getting out with it. Part of me is wondering if it’s worth replacing my Tascam X6 with the H4E but I’m not quite sure yet. I think the EIN and preamps may be better in the X6.
@@EQAVOX Stick with the X6. No reason at all to swap. Enjoy your new H1e and the X6 and keep getting out and pressing record. New gear should only become an issue when you realise you need it, not because you want it ! That's where the H1e came in for me It was a need. My old H1n was always my "every day carry" recorder in my backpack or jacket pocket in case I heard something interesting while I was out and about. Of course gain settings often screwed up much of those very quick spur-of-the-moment impromptu recordings where I had to act quickly. So swapping out my H1n for the H1e was a no brainer as my new "always with me" device. So yeah, stick with the X6. No reason at all to change.
@@lookingforsounds excellent points there mate. Thanks 🙏. X6 it is haha.
@@lookingforsoundsI have the H1n, what gain setting gave you issues?
非常に参考になりました ありがとうございます!!😊 It was very helpful thank you!!
You’re very welcome ☺️. Glad you found it helpful.
Thanks for sharing this!
You’re very welcome. It’s a great little recorder you’ve made.
This recorder has gotten some flack since it was released. Low build quality, low quality pre-amps, susseptable to plosives etc etc. However as a field recorder it's great. I want a recorder that I can just pull out of my pocket at a moments notice and get a certain sound for 'Folie'. So as in this video. A passing train. A stream. or just the wild track of ambient audio. This fit that particular bill very neatly. No need to set a level as the 32 bit float takes that out of the equation. It's compact enough to go in the pocket so that's that box ticked and with a fury wind shield on top the wind and plosives are a none issue. The pre-amps as you heard here for field recording purposes are fine, are the good enough to use say in a professional recording studio recording a singer, probably not, but for this they are just fine. The build quality is only an issue if it had any decent weight to it but it's super light weight so that isn't an issue either. The price is what seals the deal. It's super cheap go get one.
@@JWS1968 totally agree mate. It has its place and it’s an amazing recorder for the price.
Helpful review, thanks.
Hi! I was just wondering which windshields you were using in the video. Very helpful to watch, thank you!
Hi Natasha. You’re welcome. I used a couple of different ones here as I have a fair few for other recorders.
The smaller one is a Rycote deadcat that I recently purchased for the Sony M10. It fits ok, but there’s a little gap below the capsules so it’s by no means perfect.
The larger one, used when recording the rustling leaves, was actually a foam ball which came with the Zoom H3 VR I have and a gutmann deadcat over it. This creates a lot of space around the capsules for dead air, but is quite large.
I’m currently just experimenting with the different options I have for wind protection. Hopefully a company will get to making a good custom product for these recorders soon though.
that was awesome! thanks
You’re welcome ☺️
Great examples, thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome Tom. Cheers for the comment.
Was thinking on getting the h4e but the h1e sounds pretty good for the price. I think ill go with the h1e
Thanks for the test and great footage, to me, the H1E was almost like a binaural mike picking up sounds from left and right. Awesome test, the 34 float opens up a limitless capability to have good sound with no clapping. Thanks a lot, if you could make a sound test from left to right as the train did, for example with cars passing by it would be great. It will definitely help a lot of people to make a decision about the purchase.
You’re welcome. Glad to have helped. I think I may have an audio file somewhere of some vehicles passing recorded with it. I’m sure I recorded something like this since this video. I’ll have a look and get back to you.
@@EQAVOX thanks a lot. 👍 Keep up the good work and great content.
@@gco2075 Hi mate - I finally got around to doing a video of passing traffic for you & just uploaded it. I've had to wait a while for some good weather. Hope it's helpful though.
@@EQAVOX Just listened! Great results! Appreciate it mate! Thanks a lot!
@@gco2075 you’re welcome ☺️
hetting my H6 tomorrow. Ditching my H5 and H1n
Exciting stuff 😍
Very enjoyable video and sounds. Made me nicely relaxed.
When you were talking to the horses, did you mic your voice separately?
I'm amazed there are no tractor, car or plane sounds.
Thank you 🙏. Glad it was calming, that’s definitely the vibe I am going for with these videos.
When I was talking to the horses, all of the audio was from the zoom H1E. I was pretty quiet because I was stood behind it and had my arm stretched out to the horses. No external mic for the voice, although I’ll probably get something for that purpose for future videos.
I have to admit, it’s really tricky to get audio without tractors, cars, people or planes ✈️. I think I just got lucky on this occasion. Close mic positioning helps though I find, the closer to the subject the better.
But I do think luck was involved here too, it was a pretty peaceful sounding day. Although, I did record in between the intermittent planes ✈️ they are a nuisance.
@@EQAVOXI thought it was amazingly silent. The part when you spoke to the horses sounded good. That was why I asked. I've ordered one of these recorders as I recently had my Roland stolen. I want one to always carry with me. It sounds good from your post. It doesn't arrive for a couple of months though, probably dur to shipping problems. Thanks for your reply. The sheep probably didn't thank you as she was a bit shocked I suppose.
@@athomas5927 It does seem pretty quiet to me too I have to say. Granted it’s not perfect, but it does a good enough job for most things and is pretty impressive.
Sorry to hear about the Roland getting stolen, they are great recorders too. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the zoom though when it arrives.
Thank you for the narration in post. Do you mind adding in the video description, perhaps, what the remaining scene recordings were for those who are blind or otherwise unable to reference your video?
Also, putting in the other equipment, e.g., camera, windscreens, tripods, etc, would be useful too, even though I realize it's all in the comments, but for people wanting to start out and/or are curious, it would be useful to have it all in one place.
Thanks for taking the time to engage and with warm regards,
Timothy Wynn
Hi Timothy. Those are all excellent points and have been taken on board. I will update this description shortly and will continue to do so in future videos too.
Thanks for watching and the feedback. I did write something up somewhere for this description, but I forgot to add it in the end.
@@EQAVOX Thank you for the time, consideration, and effort. I did not recognize either the reservoir or the blowing leaves (thought it was some kind of field with lots of plant stalks). I also appreciated your studio voiceover with the nature background -- it was a lovely touch.
@@tmthywynn8 cheers Timothy. I’m hoping to do some podcasts on this sort of style at some point and this was a great opportunity to test it out haha. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for the video! Sounds nice out there and thank you for helping the sheep!!!! :)
Cheers Marcel. I’m pretty lucky to have some nice sounds nearby to my house haha. Oh youve definitely got to help the sheep, can’t be recording in its field and leave the poor thing haha 😝. That would be the height of rudeness.
Great footage of the earlie spring😊 Sometimes it seemed as if some images where over sharpened although i am not sure if this is at all possible. Sheep can die horribly when laying for hours on their back...😮
Thanks for the comment and watching. I didn’t do any editing to the videos so they are exactly as the phone captured them at the time.
They can sadly, so I’m glad this one was rescued. I used to have some sheep myself 🐑 and they end up stuck on their backs too often unfortunately. Gotta look out for them.
Very good demonstration. Could you tell us the name of this little tripod?
Hi mate. Glad it helped. This is the little mini tripod I occasionally use - just makes things more portable than a larger tripod haha.

How much preamp noise/hiss does it have comparing to older Tascam DR-40/DR-40x and Zoom handheld recorders? To my ears, it seems 32bit also means less noise? Can you confirm? Thanks!
@@Pe11ePDFrom what I can gather, I think the noise floor is around the same with the H1E as it is with the DR-40x. Both of them seem to sit at around -120 EIN.
I’m not an expert on the technical side to be honest so I’m likely not the best person to ask - however, this may be helpful to you:

@@EQAVOX thanks!
@@Pe11ePD no problem 😌
Was the voiceover recorded later on the zoom h1e or did you use the loopback right away?
@@Данил-г1з8ч hey 👋. No the voiceover was recorded separately via the zoom H1E in my studio and combined with the background ambience in post. I’ve not used the loop back function but I will have to try it sometime.
I’m just mad it didn’t come with a wind cover 😅
Awesome video! What was the wind protection you used recording the rustling leaves at the end?
Thank you. That was a combination of a foam ball which comes with the zoom H3 VR - one of the other zoom recorders I have, and a Guttmann deadcat over the top of the foam. Provides really good dead air space around the microphones - but it is massive haha.
plz share ur equipment with us❤
great shots! what camera do you use?
Thank you. I wish I could say something more fancy but this was just my iPhone 14 being used with a DJI gimbal haha.
Occasionally, I use a GoPro hero 8. What I really want is the Osmo Action 4 at some stage I reckon.
I'm such a newbie... I picked up the H1 Essential because I'm wanting to record bird sounds but it doesn't sound any different than my camera audio. When I use the recorder the audio is really quiet. I want to put it directly in Capcut and sync it with my video, but it's too quiet to use, and if I bump up the volume in Capcut, I start to hear white noise. How do I make it sound better? Do I need to edit it in an audio program first? What step am I missing? Or, is the H1 essential just not a good unit for what I'm doing? I really appreciate any help.
I think the problem is that the capsules on the zoom aren’t sensitive enough to pick up sounds clearly far away. It will pick up birds etc. but it will be quiet.
As you say, when you boost the levels in post, it starts introducing a lot of the self noise too because it boosts the self noise from the preamps with the bird sounds.
You could try some sort of Denoiser plugin or light EQ editing around the highest frequencies. I’ve found the hiss sits around 18k - 20k. If you dip the frequencies a bit there, sometimes the audio can be salvageable. You just want to listen very carefully to ensure you are removing mostly noise and not too much of the frequencies of the sounds you want.
The best way to tackle the signal to noise ratio issue with birds would be to get a recording of the birds really close up so there is no need to boost in post. However, its generally really difficult to get a recording of bird sounds that close up because they don’t like is to be near them unfortunately.
You could also try some small external microphones with plugin power like the Clippy em272, lom microusi or similar. These are highly sensitive omnidirectional microphones with low self noise that allow you to get a higher signal and much lower self noise. If I’m recording something like the dawn chorus for example, I’d always use my Clippy em272’s as they can pick up lots of sound from different distances without needing to boost the signal too much in post and with minimal self noise.
Hope that helps. There are some options, I would say the external mics plugged in is the easiest and most effective in my experience.
@@EQAVOX thank you so much for your insight and thorough response.
@@Mr.Pickles.Purrspective no problem - happy to help. Best of luck with it.
There’s also a way to normalize it as well on the device itself
I’ve watched a couple of videos on it myself, but I don’t have this device just yet, I’m getting it tomorrow, possibly so I’ll play with it and come back to you with updated instructions
For some amazing sounds, did you just have the recorder in your hand and pointing it at the source? Of the 32 bit flow and no peeking or clipping nice work.
Hi 👋. Thanks 🙏. Yeah most of the time that’s pretty much it. Just point and hit record. You just have to be careful when handling it to not get any handling noise. It’s a bit of an art being able to hold one without handling noise and requires a bit of practice, or at least it did for me for the many recorders I have.
@@EQAVOX well, you did a great job. nice work. what else have you done with this new field recorder? also, I have an ambio smart headset which has a , lightning do you think it would be possible to use theese binaurel mics with this zoom recorder?
@@edwardalonzo thank you 🙏. I have the ambeo headset too but I don’t think they will work with the H1E. Perhaps if you found a lightning to 3.5mm adaptor of some sort it might work.
However, those earphones are powered from your phone, if they were connected to the zoom H1E’s mic / line in via an adapter, I’m the power being supplied from the recorder may not go through the adapter to power the earphones.
It’s not something I’ve tried personally, and if it did work it would be amazing, but I can’t say for certain it would work.
Another option is the Roland CS10EM earphones. They are similar to the ambeo ones but have the necessary plugs for a handheld recorder. They should work with the zoom.
A couple of other microphones I frequently use with these recorders are the Clippy EM272’s and SR3D binaural mics (both of these have 3.5mm versions that work via plug in power from your recorders). They are excellent options too.
Hope that helps a bit. If you do try to get the ambeo headset to work with it, I’d love to hear how you did it.
Great recording! I have the slight older H1 on loan for an upcoming trip to the Arctic. I have a dead cat as well. Can you suggest anything else that i should get and what settings would be optimal?
Many thanks
Thank you. Very jealous of the trip to the arctic 🥶, but I hope you get some amazing recordings there. I imagine there’s a lot of recording opportunities.
I have no experience with the older H1, but the deadcat is definitely going to be useful. You could perhaps look at a shock mount and mini tripod setup which will reduce noise from handling the device. Gloves can also be helpful for reducing handling noise too.
Potentially a wrist band if you are hand holding it … these have saved my recorders a few times from accidental drops.
If it was me going, I’d definitely have the H1, the deadcat and the largest size SD card I can for the H1 and potentially a spare too if possible.
As for settings, recording in WAV - 24-bit. Sample rate is entirely your choice. Higher sample rates are useful for if you are wanting to manipulate the audio without losing much quality (slowing it down etc), but 44.1 or 48KHZ are pretty standard, good enough quality for most applications and will use less space on your SD card.
Perhaps rechargeable batteries would be useful too, I tend to have spare power on me at all times but it depends on what you want and how much you feel you will be recording really and if you will need the extra juice.
Hope that helps and have fun in the arctic 🐻❄️.
@@EQAVOX this is great! Thank you. Hadn't considered the cord, good idea since I'll be based on a sailing research vessel, then inland daily around Svalbard.
If I'm reading this correctly WAV 24 bit is optimum quality?
Do see any significant improvement in quality with the H4 or H8?
@@filmadk you’re very welcome.
Basically the bit rate (24, 16 or 32) just boils down to how much dynamic range there is and reduces the possibility of clipping. It’s easier to clip in 16bit than 24bit - and even harder to clip (far harder) in 32bit.
24 bit would be better generally, I’d imagine most people record in 24bit where possible. It doesn’t affect the sound or audio quality, but it does lower the possibility of a loud signal suddenly clipping the audio.
@@filmadk I haven’t used the Zoom H4 but I did have the zoom H8 for a while. I personally wasn’t a fan of the interface so I parted ways with it in the end. However, the sound was really good and being able to swap out mics was really liberating.
An obvious advantage of the H8 is more inputs with XLRs and phantom power etc, so you can plug FAR more into it and experiment with different microphones. It depends if that interests you at all.
If we are talking inbuilt mics and the preamps in both the H1 and H8 I’m not sure there is much difference in the capsules used or the preamps - but I could be wrong on that. There may be a marginal improvement in quality on the H8 but I’m sure others could answer that better than I can. 👌
Hope that helps.
What do you like for a field tripod and shock mount? Also...since I have a dead cat, any reason for a foam cup or windscreen? Have you tried an external mic ( or parabolic mic) with this recorder?
As a filmmaker, I'm fully up on film sound, but this type of recording technique is still new to me and hauling a boom etc into this environment is environment prohibitive.
Do you have any suggestions for suitable settings for recording natural sounds?
In my experience, it depends on the sound you are recording at the time.
I try to keep any settings as neutral as possible to capture what the sound is precisely.
However, there are times where using the built in low cut filter can be helpful (for example in wind to remove rumble from the recording).
Generally though I try to not obsess over settings etc and just focus on capturing the best sounds. It’s easy to get sucked into a paranoia around settings that takes your mind off the recording experience.
Hope this helps.
Hello, wich windkiller do you use at the end in the forest ?
Hi 👋. That one was a combination of a foam ball that I have that came with my Zoom H3VR and a Guttman deadcat over it. It provides a good amount of dead air around the capsules but is very improvised. Hopefully some companies can create something along those lines but better for these recorders.
I wonder if I can ask for help editing recorded audio from H1e. I have Audacity and Audition. Using any of these two, how do I correctly increase a whisper volume to almost normal volume?
Hi mate. I have to be honest, I’ve never used audacity or audition im afraid so am probably not the best person to ask. I pretty much use Logic exclusively these days.
You might find that this article could assist though possibly. Hope it helps.
www.makeuseof.com/audacity-how-to-change-audio-volume/
😊
Did you adjust the audio at all in post?
It was basically just level matching in post. Obviously the train was extremely loud and the streams and rivers were pretty quiet so it was just tweaking to try and get moderately consistent levels.
Having said that, the wind through the leaves did have a bit of low end removed - around 100 I think - due to wind rumble.
Other than that, I tried to keep the sound as natural and “out of the box” as possible.
Ok thanks for the response (and video)! I'm picking one of these up to test it. @@EQAVOX
@@CosmoSkerry excellent idea. I find you can watch videos online to death but the best option is always to grab it and play with it yourself. Hope you enjoy it.
great work, thank you! and as a sheep, I appreciate your kindness. 🐑

Oi cheeky, are you anywhere near Skelmersdale? I have something that you may find interesting :P
Thanks haha. Just glad it was ok. I’ve seen it since filming this video and it’s back with its friends thankfully.
Sadly I’m not near skelmersdale, though I am intrigued. I have seen a lot on your binaural microphones previously, I’ve just not got around to purchasing yet
Does your ASMR - Field recording - DIY Binaural microphone Kit - the one with the deadcats too - require any soldering in construction at all? I’ve watched the video for assembly and I don’t think it does but just wanted to check.
@@EQAVOX
No soldering needed, just a strong thumb to insert the lavs into the ears.
Oh, and the Zoom H1E arrived today! With the volume at 66 the SR3D binaural device sounds quite natural, so I'll take it out in the field soon.
@@sr3d-microphones oh amazing mate cheers. I’ll try get some money together to buy it. Birthday is coming up haha.

@@johnrountree370 you’re really welcome. Thanks for the comment - I’m glad you enjoyed it 😃
if i wanna record exaust sound from motocyle while vlogging. with 32 bit. is it better to get H1e or F3 with some mic? or even H4e . F3 and H4e can do more then 1 track so idk. is the sound quality same?
For exhaust sounds, I think any of them would do the trick perfectly. The F3 has the advantage of better preamps, meaning much lower self noise. This could be useful for quieter sounds, but as exhausts are very loud I think any of them would do the job you need them for.
@@EQAVOX thx for tips, but if I wana do lav mic at same tims f3 is better the. H4e right cus talking is less loud.
@@imrin4059 I’m not 100 percent on that to be honest. I’m not expert on lav mics etc as I rarely use them myself. Hope you find the answer you need though 🙏
What was the gain dial set to for those recordings? Did you “set it and forget it?” They all sound crisp and clear.
Thanks mate. There is no gain dial on this one. That takes a bit of getting used to, you literally just hit record and it captures it.There’s no need to set gain levels with 32bit float really, you can edit levels etc after in post.
@@EQAVOX Nice! 👍🏼👍🏼
