ZOOM Handy Recorder H2 Essential
✓ In Stock (5 available)
The Zoom H2essential is a compact, professional-grade audio recorder built for podcasters, musicians, filmmakers, and content creators. Powered by true 32-bit float recording, it removes the need to set gain levels entirely — capture anything from a whisper to a live concert without clipping or distortion, then adjust levels freely in post-production with zero quality loss. At its core are three precision microphones — two unidirectional cardioid capsules (front and rear) plus a bi-directional side mic — giving you 9 selectable recording patterns, from tight 90° stereo to wide 120° ambient capture, hyper-directional mono for clean dialogue, and full surround sound. With a 1.3"" full-color waveform display, USB-C connectivity (doubles as a USB mic), microSDXC support up to 2TB, and up to 20.5 hours of battery life, the H2essential is an all-in-one recording solution built for creators on the move.
