Zoom Essential Series. The three models H1essential, H4essential, and H6essential all come with 32-bit float, a color display, a host of accessibility features, and much more.
Zoom Essential Series: H6essential with 32-bit float, optional Timecode and a new capsule system
Zoom’s flagship field recorder in the H-series has been significantly updated. Internally, it’s now able to record up to six tracks at a time with 32-bit float bit rate and 96 kHz sample rate, thus practically eliminating the danger of digitally clipped recording. In addition, H6essential has a dual AD converter, and it comes with a next-generation 3.0 capsule system – in this case, a X/Y mic capsule that captures sound up to 135 dB SPL.
Furthermore, you can now sync the field recorder through an optional Bluetooth dongle and have it create Time code. This way, it is much easier to sync recordings on the flagship of the Zoom Essential Series to video. Like the other two new devices, the H6essential also comes with a host of accessibility features.
Now, you can navigate its menus with audible descriptions, which makes it more accessible for the visually impaired. The H6essential can also act as an audio interface while connected to a PC, Mac, iOS, or Android device and simultaneously record onto its SD card (up to 1 TB). Zoom lists the field recorder’s RRP at 391.51 Euros or 342 GBP (both including VAT), and it’s slated to be released in Q2 2024.
H4essential and H1essential: 32-bit float, Color LCD, Accessiblity
The two other field recorders in the new Zoom Essential Series, the H4essential and the H1essential, are both.. ahem.. essentially dialed down versions of the new H6essential. Just like the big guy, they offer 96khz/32-bit float recording and the aforementioned accessibility features.
The H1essential has an upgraded OLED display, which is still monochrome. It can record up to two tracks at a time, one with its built-in X/Y-mic array that can handle up to 120 dB SPL. The compact field recorder also comes with new features for overdubbing, pre-recording, and a new mono mode for interviews. It’s also slated to come out in Q2 with an RRP of 129.71 Euros or 114 GBP.
