Description
The Largest Mics Ever on a Handy Recorder
The 19.4mm microphones capture audio with incredible frequency response, 140 dB max SPL, and an expansive dynamic range. Their increased size captures recordings with unmatched depth and fidelity.
F-Series Preamps,
The H5studio’s inputs feature our F-series preamps, giving your audio unmatched clarity (-127 dBu EIN). With dual AD converters and32-bit float, they deliver an impressive 132dB dynamic range, capturing everything without noise or distortion.
Complete Control, Zero Clipping
32-bit float and 16/24-bit formats each have their advantages. 32-bit float prevents clipping but requires
post-production. 16/24-bit eliminates the need for post-processing but requires gain adjustment to prevent clipping.
The H5studio offers the best of both worlds with 32-bit float and dedicated gain knobs—no clipping and no need for post-production.
Six Tracks Up to 192 kHz
The H5studio captures up to six tracks (four iso-tracks plus a stereo mix) with sample rates up to 192 kHz.
Protect Your Sound
Carefully engineered RF shielding keeps interference from smartphones and Wi-Fi routers out of your recordings, anywhere you go.
Advanced Limiters
The H5studio features “advanced look-ahead” limiters which anticipate potential overloads and prevent distortion before it reaches your track
The Inputs
The two locking XLR/TRS inputs support +48V phantom power and +4dBu line level. There is also a 3.5mm stereo jack with plug-in power.
