ZOOM - H2essential Handheld Recorder:

The Most Versatile Recorder!

More Ways to Record

The H2essential is the only handheld recorder with three internal microphones. The ability to select different mic patterns gives creators more options than ever.

Front, Back, Side, and Back

With two cardioid mics facing forward and back, and one bidirectional mic facing both sides, the H2essential lets you choose the ideal pattern for every recording.

3 Mics… 9 Ways to Record

Set your mic pattern to mono, 90º, or 120º stereo. Then choose to record from the front, the back, or activate both sides for surround sound.

Musicians

90º Stereo / Rear Mic

Record in 90º stereo with the rear microphones to capture a natural stereo image.

Ensembles

120º Stereo / Front and Rear

Using the 120° front- and rear-facing stereo microphones, capture a wide and immersive sound field from the entire ensemble.

Podcasts

Mono / Front and Rear Mics

The mono mic reduces ambient noise for better isolation. Using the front and rear microphones, you can capture two discrete tracks.

Streaming & Video Calls

90º or Mono / Rear Mics

Use the H2essential as a mono or stereo USB microphone for streaming and video calls.

Sound Design

Mono / Front Mic

Record audio for sound design with the front-facing mono microphone to capture focused and detailed sounds.

Clip-Free Recording

Record in 32-bit floating-point format up to 96 kHz for high-quality, clip-free audio without having to adjust the gain. (Learn more about 32-bit floating point here)

32-bit floating point USB microphone

When connected to a PC, Mac, iOS, or Android device via the USB-C port, the H2essential can be used as a USB microphone while simultaneously recording to the SD card.

Record audio for video with your phone

Connect the H2essential to your portable device via USB and record professional audio directly into your phone's video. Perfect for video podcasts and live streams.

Polish your mid-side recordings in post-production

Record raw audio in MS Raw format and adjust the stereo image width in post-production. This is useful when you want to be able to control ambient noise.
