Like the H4, you can record in different file formats, with a range of MP3 and WAV options, from the cruddiest, media-efficient MP3 to 24-bit, 96kHz WAVs.

It should come as little surprise, then, that Zoom are continuing to sell the H4, while releasing an improved model that addresses many criticisms made of the earlier model. The Pro's Multitrack Mode turns it into a four-track studio, complete with overdubbing, onboard effects, and the capability of working with previously recorded sound files. The X/Y stereo recording covers a wide area while capturing sound sources in the center with clarity and definition.

I would recommend this to anyone looking to make decent recordings on a small, robust and portable device.Very pleased with quality of product build which appears to be quite robust and with the results produced. There are a ton of other features on this that I doubt I'll ever use, such as four-track recording and (apparently, but I can't find it) a guitar amp-sim. Let’s sort the marketing hype from the tech specs and leave you with a recommendation worth the read. Additionally, the headphone/line output jack is ideal for sending high-definition stereo audio directly to your camera. The H5 provides four tracks of simultaneous recording and, like our flagship H6, it can use all Zoom interchangeable input capsules, allowing you to choose the best microphone for every recording situation.

While the stress of running out of batteries can be avoided by remembering to bring spares, the fact that the H5 gets a 2. It means you don't always need to use headphones or external speakers to check things are operating as they should, or to locate a specific track or location within a track.Now you can take line-level stereo audio from your mixing console and capture room ambience with the X/Y microphones, putting your listeners front row center. The track-selection buttons double up to provide shortcut keys for some of the more commonly used functions — folder and file selection, playback speed (yes, you can slow down tracks, without pitch change, to learn your guitar licks), and recording format. It also opens up the possibility of surround-sound recording, and it might prove useful for applications such as impulse-response capture.
