John, In less than 6 minutes you answered what hours of searching didn't. I think you are one of the few out there that describe the difference between a Y "splitter" cable and a Y "breakout cable. This is sure to help me make a better final product. Awesome job!!
Thanks for confirmation that you can do what I thought you should be able to do with the H1N, though many people said it wasn't possible. I think most people have been trying it with the stereo splitter that you first showed (and drawing incorrect conclusions), so I definitely appreciate you showing the correct way to do this!
Man giving the answers the people need 👏
I use this setup for my walking tour videos around New York City and the sound is great!!🙌🏿💙
This helped me immensely! Thank you so much! Keep the videos going!
Great to hear!
Thanks so much!! This helped me out tremendously. Now I can do podcasts with the H1n until I save up and get the H8. Much appreciated.
Thanks, John! The manufacturer and retailers didn’t even touch on this point. You solved our problem.
Thank you for this video. It was exactly what I was looking for. This is the second helpful video of yours I came across today. Subscribed!
Hi, thank you this is very helpful! Wich lav mics are compatible?
You are my hero! Thanks a lot! Your suggestion saved me
Thank you John Chow! This was very helpful!
Ugh! I wish I watched this sooner! Thanks!
Great info !! Thanks
Will both the left and right channel be in stereo once in FCPX? Are you able to tell me the process of how to do that in FCPX? Thank you for this video!
John, thank you so much, I was looking for a solution for two mic to one Zoom, that is too easy !! Got one in my shopping cart now off your link, cheers,
Thanks! I'm glad the video helped..
Super helpful- thanks for making this video!
Perfect!!!! Exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks
I am really interested in this. How about connecting two Zoom LMF-2 lavaliers to the Zoom H1N? The need to be powered from the recorder. Does this particular splitter passes on power?
Did you find out if the h1n can power 2 mics at the same time through this cable?
@@Marcus_R I had another look, but the cable is not TRRS. Had a quick look on amazon for TRRS version but only bump into cables for headsets or mike-haedphone.
What an explanation. Wow! Thank you.
Incredible. That's super helpful, thanks!
Is this also the same as those splitters with mic in and headphone in? Thank you!
Hey very helpful video, pls let me know which lavs u have used, pls paste link, thanks in advance
awesome. 1 question, might sound stupid but is there any way to record one channel via some microphone and also have the main input (from h1n) recording simultaneously. Example: if i can record my bike exhaust with h1n and have a mic in, to record my voice too inside my helmet? 😅
Thank you, it helps a lot!
Thank you so much!
Love this!
Thank you very useful, exactly what I need.
Great tip. Thanks.
Good stuff, John! Thanks!
Thank you sir. Well done.
Hi. I have the zoom F1. I have the zoom included lav and an Insignia lav. Once connected to the breakout cable sound comes only from the lav connected on the black (tip) side. I swapped the lavs. Same thing. The red (ring) input sounds very low and muffled when the volume is increased to Hi ++. It doesn't show me two mono signals on the display. I'm welcoming any ideas of why this is happening and any possible solutions. Thanks.
HosaTech YMP-137 3.5mm TRS to Dual 1/4 inch TSF Stereo Breakout Cable . Would this split into two mono tracks as the splitter you recommend? I can’t get your one in the UK and can’t see how to judge if It would just record as per your first example
Does this work for the h2n or the h2 as well?
Of course. With any recorder
Thank you.
Can I adjust gain in both the microphones separately?
Thank you so much :)
Brilliant. 👍
Immensly helpful! a pity i cannot easily buy one in Poland :(
So helpful.. Thanks!
Thanks - very helpful! One question - do the mics have to be mono (tsf output) or can they be stereo?
Either will work.
@@MotoTTZ Wonderful - thanks very much.
Greatt bro... great video
Thanks, John. Your Viedeo really help me! :-)
Hi John, I have the zoom h1n, as well as the Hosa stereo breakout cable you talked about in the video, as well as 2 lav mics. .
However, when following the steps you presented, this is not working for me. Judging back the screen on zoom, there are NO audio being picked up....
I have tried to play around with the setting, but have had NO luck.
Please help, many thanks in advance 💕✨
I had the same problem with my Tascam DR07x, same league like the little Zoom. Perhaps you didn't switch on the power for the microphone input in the recorder. A lavalier needs a little juice to work, and the Tascam can provide this - the Zoom should be able, too ...
@@MrJPG1000 Im so new to this :3 i have tried to play around with the settings on the recording but i dont know what else i can set it to...
@@BarshaThapa did you figure it out Barsha? I think it has to do with the type of cable plug - TRRS vs TRS. Zoom H1n has a TRS mic input. So, if you want to use something like a Rode smartLav+ mic (which is TRRS, designed to be plugged into your mobile phone or laptop), you need a TRRS to TRS adapter.
Hey john, so when you’re in post production, do you double the audio track and turn each one into a left and right file?
@@David-Kynaston I personally take the sound to my DAW (I use acoustica mixcraft 9), double the track and set 1 track to left and the other to right and compress it to adjust the volumes, and I also use a plugin/VST from waves called NS1 (its a noise gate that kills the background noise and I love it). and I export as WAV and take it to Premiere Pro ready to be edited.
I hope that helps
@@OutOfTheBoxThinker1 ns1 is background noise not noise gate it’s a difference use Rvox from waves for noise gate. Noise gate closes between words.
@@musicislife704 any suggestions of a pluggin or VST that does that ?
@@OutOfTheBoxThinker1 Rvox waves plugin.
Hi John, thanks for this great hack! I'm just starting out in podcasting and will mainly be using the mic solo. I'll occasionally interview someone with me and so have been looking for a good quality mic that could do that. This seems to do just that!! Just one question (apologies if it is a stupid one) but could I use two mics of any kind to connect in, not just lav mics? And bonus stupid question, can you also connect headphones for two people to use?
You can use any kind of mics. You will need to get a spitter if you want to use two headphones.
@@MotoTTZ Great! Such a simple and low-cost solution. Keep up the great work.
@@MotoTTZ Hey John. I think the splitter you suggested is on backorder (Amazon). Is there another you suggest? Also, any recommendations for lav mics? I need 2 pronto.
your great thank you for the insight! Also recommend a lavaliere and it would have been perfect.
Thank you Thank You Thank You!!!
Hi john, I went to your johnchow.com website to learn more about blogging but there is an error page when it comes to getting your free e-book. Is it still available?
I'm writing a new ebook right now. I will announce it in a future video when it's ready.
cool, I appreciate your response. Im just getting started and trying to learn everything I can to start my own blog as well. Baby steps. I hope u dont mind I just subcribed to your channel.
@@MyJose559 Don't mind at all. Welcome!
SUPER helpful! However I am using 2 2 Rode smartLav+ and I can't get any sound.... is this an issue with my H1N recorder or with the Rode lavs?
Hey man ! Im experiencing the same issue. One of my buddies told me that my mic needs phantom power (48V) and when I looked up the H1N it doesnt support/provide that. I guess we will need to either use a different Lav mic or another Zoom or a Tascam recorder that has the PP 48V
You don't need phantom power (48 V), this would be too much for a lavalier. You need "Plug In Power", which is only 2 to 3 V. The recorder should be able to switch this on, my Tascam DR07x does.
Zoom H1n has a TRS mic input. So, if you want to use something like a Rode smartLav+ mic (which is TRRS, designed to be plugged into your mobile phone or laptop), you need a TRRS to TRS adapter.

Your the super zoom man 👨🏼 thx
If i put one lavalier in, is the internal mic of zoom can record to? So i have two mic. From lavalier and from zoom itself.
You can record from the lav or the internal mic. But not both at the same time.
Hi, someone can tell me what is the name of the cable he shows at 2:41 please.
Hosa YMM-261 3.5 mm TRS to Dual 3.5 mm TSF Stereo Breakout Cable
That is the name on Amazon.
Does anyone knows if this will work with a Sennheiser ME 2 II? Seems like those mics need phantom power, does that work with a stereo to mono splitter?
The Zoom H1 has a phantom power.
Phantom power will kill you your lavalier, you need "Plug In Power", which is not 48 but 2 to 3 volt. If you only have phantom power (normally on a XLR), you would have to buy an expensive adapter (Rode VXLR+, the + makes the difference).
I don't know about other recorders, but my Tascam DR07x can switch to microphone power. I had to find this on my own, took me two weeks ...
@@MrJPG1000 thanks all! I guess the info we really needed was in the ME2 datasheet: ring and sleeve are connected, so the y splitter solution works with this mic!
How to download as separate channels onto computer though
I did this and imported into audactity. How do I merge both the left and right audio files?
Just sum the audio. It will merge the left and right together.
Can anyone please teach me how to make one? There are no splitters like this In my country🥺
This one?: Hosa YMM261 Y-Kabel 3,5mm TRS-3,5mm TSF
Hosa YMM-261 3.5 mm TRS to Dual 3.5 mm TSF Stereo Breakout Cable
Yeah but then, say for instance I'm wearing a headset, I only hear one person in the left speaker and the other person in the right speaker instead of both in stereo. That would bug most people.
You merge or sum the left and right together in post production.
@@MotoTTZ gotcha, I haven't done anything like that yet, still learning.
Dude this is awesome, thank you!!!
great video, thank you !
