Zoom H5Studio

The Zoom H5studio was made for seamless and professional production. Creators can record flawless audio with stunningly clear microphones, studio-grade preamps, and 32-bit float recording.

The Largest Mics Ever on a Handy Recorder

The 19.4mm microphones capture audio with incredible frequency response, 140 dB max SPL, and an expansive dynamic range. Their increased size captures recordings with unmatched depth and fidelity.

F-Series Preamps, Now in Your Hands

The H5studio’s inputs feature our F-series preamps, giving your audio unmatched clarity (-127 dBu EIN). With dual AD converters and 32-bit float, they deliver an impressive 132dB dynamic range, capturing everything without noise or distortion.

Complete Control, Zero Clipping

32-bit float and 16/24-bit formats each have their advantages. 32-bit float prevents clipping but requires post-production. 16/24-bit eliminates the need for post-processing but requires gain adjustment to prevent clipping.

The H5studio offers the best of both worlds with 32-bit float and dedicated gain knobsno clipping and no need for post-production.

Six Tracks Up to 192 kHz

The H5studio captures up to six tracks (four iso-tracks plus a stereo mix) with sample rates up to 192 kHz.
