Zoom H1n-VP: Mobile 24/96 Recorder with XY Mics

The Zoom H1n-VP's dead-simple stereo pickup with unlimited overdubs makes archiving music performances, dialogue, and sound for film easier than ever. The Zoom H1n-VP is the successor to the acclaimed H1. Upgraded features include dedicated one-touch buttons for recording, playback, and audio settings; a new 1.25-inch backlit LCD that reads easily in any lighting condition; slate and test tone generators for simpler A/V sync; auto-record and self-timer functions; a front-facing speaker; and adjustable playback speed for transcription and notation. Whether you use the phase-coherent onboard stereo XY mics or plug in your own sound source via the 1/8-inch stereo mic/line jack, the Zoom H1n-VP captures your world in glorious 24/96 hi-fi. And now, the H1n-VP comes decked out with a handful of goodies to boot, including a micro USB cable, AD-17 Power Adapter, foam windscreen, and padded-shell carrying case! Note: requires an SD card for recording (sold separately).

Note: Only compatible with microSD/HC cards up to 32GB.

Zoom H1n-VP features a brighter, crisper backlit LCD display

The new 1.25-inch monochromatic display on the Zoom H1n-VP looks great in virtually all lighting conditions. The layout is clean and organized, and the backlight pops in the dark or direct light.

Distortion-free audio recording

Auto-Level and onboard limiting provide up to 120 dB of distortion-free audio — more than enough headroom to reproduce the most dynamic spoken and musical performances.

Unlimited overdubs — great for multitrack audio

Zoom even lets you overdub audio onto your existing recordings. This makes the Zoom H1n an essential tool for the touring artist or songwriter on the move.

Tone generators and timer tools

The Zoom H1n-VP is even easier to use than previous iterations. Slate and test tone generators enable picture-perfect audio and video sync, while auto-record and self-timer features make sure you never miss the moment.

Onboard stereo XY mics plus mic/line jack

A pair of built-in stereo condenser microphones oriented in a fixed 90° XY pattern captures audio in perfect phase-coherent stereo. But when the occasion demands, a 1/8-inch mic/line input lets you use your studio and shotgun mics. Broadcast-ready, BWF-compliant 24/96 WAV and space-saving MP3 audio formats are available to suit your needs.

10 hours from Two AAA batteries

The Zoom H1n-VP promises up to 10 hours of operation using just 2 AAA alkaline batteries. Rechargeable Li-ion and NiMH AAA batteries may promise even better performance. Or, for home use, simply run the Zoom off of USB power (cable and adapter not included).

USB connectivity

Connect the Zoom H1n-VP to your device via USB to use it as an audio interface, or to drag files to your workstation. Whether you record at home or on location, the Zoom H1n-VP from Sweetwater captures clean audio without fuss.

I was surprised!

I saw this on a post on instagram and decided I should try it. I was debating several different ones. I read the reviews and decided on the h1n

Great for reviewing rehearsals

I wanted an easy to use dedicated recording tool for documenting rehearsals for later review, and this does the job perfectly, without tying up my phone or other device. The flexibility, ease of use, and overall quality are great, and the low price is fantastic. Really fits the bill.
Rated 4.5/5

zoom h1n vp2 recorder

As a working musician and song writer I needed a simple quick way to catch riffs and ideas that sometimes pop up in unexpected moments. This little devil is perfect for these times .Very simple and quick to learn and use. Basic record ,stop, and playback is one touch! Packs a big punch, to be so small and compact. My only gripe, if I have one.is the tiny speaker sucks, but that is easily fixed with a set of headphones. Awsume and useful tool. Very happy with purchase, and continued great service with Sweetwater and my pal Mike Wright! rock on!!! Great price and great service as always! Cant go wrong with zoom h1n recorder. I love it!!
Rated 1.5/5

better to upgrade to the H2

I found the sound quality on the H1 - using the microphone and listening to playback through the headphone jack, on good headphones - to be ok for just rehearsals, or to catch a conversation if needed. Then, I used the mic/line input to record something and the quality was terrible. If you are doing anything that needs good quality sound, dont bother with this, and go for the H2. I have had an H2 for probably 15 years now, and it finally started to have sound issues with the on-board mics. The mic/line input still has excellent sound quality, FYI
