Sound for Video Session: ZOOM H1 XLR First Impressions

In this week's Sound for Video Session, we take a first look at the new ZOOM H1 XLR audio field recorder. This affordable sound recorder has 2 XLR/combination inputs for recording with microphones or line level sources such as from a sound board at a concert. This could be a good fit for those looking to record two XLR mics on a budget ($149 USD).

If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. We have a course on sound for live-streaming with the ATEM Mini, Introduction to Izotope RX for Dialogue Audio, and Mixing fundamentals in DaVinci Resolve Fairlight.
