Zoom H1essential Stereo Handy Recorder (2024 Model, Essential Series) with 32-Bit Float, Accessibility, X/Y Microphones, USB Microphone, Portable, for Musicians, Podcasters, Filmmakers (H1 / H1e)

Zoom has unveiled a titanic leap forward for content creators with the H1essential, an updated iteration of the company's popular portable recorder lineup. Enhanced features include expanded memory card compatibility for higher workload handling, 10 hours of onboard battery life, and quiet operation controls — to name just a few. There's also a brand new Accessibility Mode, where a screen reader assists visually impaired creators with menu navigation. A reworked OLED interface makes navigation a cinch for easy use whether you're recording in the studio or on the street. Zoom's collection of portable recording gear has been a longtime favorite among content creators at Music Bliss. With the introduction of the H1essential, that tradition won't be replaced anytime soon.
