zoom h1 recorder for use as studio backup & ontheground audio
the zoom h1 arrived today.
it’s a little bit more flimsy than i expect but tbh i really wanted it as a line-in device from a decent rode ntg2 microphone in rather than use with the x/y pattern. it’s a good backup device thou and will be perfect for refreshfriday style events ‘ontheground’ for getting interviews of a higher quality than the ones on my ipod touch 4th generation.

Be careful with the sliding power switch — I once busted it off, couldn’t find it, and it became a pain in the a** to use after that. (I’ve gone to the Zoom H2, which is amazing for the price and much sturdier seeming.)That said, the H1 sounds great and is really convenient, as I’m sure you’re discovering.
yeah roger that duncan. to be fair it might be only used weekly for a podcast catchup ‘ontheground’ thing – the sounds lovely. i’m using it with a rode ntg-2 as well and that sounds perfect recorded into it.
