    Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the Zoom H1e. This is very similar to it's predecessors the H1 and H1n, but it introduces 32-bit floating point which means you are theoretically unable to distort your converters; although you can still distort the microphone capsules if you're recording something very loud. The mic does suffer from wind/plosive issues, handling noise rejection isn't great, and the preamps are a bit noisy. But for $100 I think it offers a pretty utilitarian device that has a lot of bang for your buck.

Even conciddering all it's problems, just being able to make an relatively high quality recording on the go, without worrying about missing important info on the screen etc, is wonderful

    Hello, Bandrew, many thanks for the great review. Here, I would like to spread the concept of using only one of the mics/channels of a stereo XY recorder if one records narration by means of it. Firstly, no stereo is needed for that purpose. Secondly, if you use the recorder as a stereo recorder -- just like in the video -- you use both of the mics off-axis, which way their sound is worse than their on-axis sound. The solution is so simple: one should direct one of the mics to the speaker's mouth and use only the corresponding channel of the recorded stereo wav file afterwards. (If the recorder is used as an interface via USB, point the left mic to the sound source and, in the computer, select that this input is mono like you accidentally made when the video was recorded.) This way one can maximize the sound quality of such a stereo recorder when used for spoken words.

    Thank you so much for including the accessibility portion at the end of the video!!! If it weren't for you including that, I would've never known about this new feature. I'm so excited.
    I'm a blind creator and have been on the fence about getting myself a solution for 32-bit recording. But field recorders in particular have never been that accessible, besides ones from Olympus. You putting that section in the video has made me aware that this is a feature Zoom has now included. I'm extremely, extremely excited to be able to set up my field recorders by myself now.
    Will you also be reviewing the H4e and H6e?
    I might treat myself to the H1e for recording lav mics, and the H4e/H6e as a portable 32 bit audio interface. Love the reviews btw

    Interesting device. Just bought the F3 to use my M5 MP in ORTF config. I really like the sound of ORTF (or similar) for the wide stereo.
    Maybe the H1n will wander in my pockets to be used with an M/S mic (two capsules, no in device processing) for later stereo reconstruction. 32-bit is a great thing for those who record in non-controllable environments.

    In theory, 32-bit floating point also will capture very low levels of audio, that is if it's loud enough compared to the noise floor. For 8-bit, 16-bit, and 24-bit, to make audio softer, you have to lower the resolution of the audio. That being said, with 24-bit, you can go very quiet and still have a pretty high resolution.

    Would love to see a Zoom M3 (shotgun) review please. From what I've heard it sounds pretty good. Want to check the preamp noise though. I found an M4 review that said the M series preamps are from the F series which is a step up from the H series, but I'd like to hear it for myself. Main complaint seems to be it cheap/light build quality but if you look after it that's so much better on a boom pole, and in theory it should be the perfect travel VO mic/recorder

Even if the noise floor is half what it is in the H series that would make it the ultimate portable recorder and interface with 2 F-series preamps, which are superb! the value for money would be unbelievable.

  • @xHadesStamps

    I was initially worried about the price, and I’m not sure how much the H1n went for on its own, but that sounds about the same
    Thank goodness it’s USB C! The micro-USB port on the H1n is just the worst! I had to super glue a micro-USB male to mini-USB female adapter (as well as a shim on the micro-USB side) because the slots for the latches were so torn up, and the cable wouldn’t stay in place. I also like that it has a mono mode
    Not a fan of it being 32-bit float *only* (for recording), -but I do quite like that it does 24 bit/48 kHz as an audio interface/USB mic. My H1n only supports up to 16/48 as an audio interface/USB mic. As someone who uses the audio interface function a lot (mainly with my BPHS1, using my iRig Pre and a TRRS splitter to adapt the XLR to 3.5mm unbalanced (two channel) TRS), that’s quite nice.- Unless it doesn’t. Not sure if it’s just your Mac (other Mac users who have this, please check), if it’s Windows exclusive (we also need Windows users who have this to check), or just wrong. FWIW, the Q2U, being quite an old model, is also limited to 16/48, and it’s still my go-to recommendation. The lack of a gain control might also end up being problematic there, though (unless it functions like many Samson mics, where the gain settings on your computer actually controls the preamp in the device). Also, it functions as a portable recorder and audio interface at the same time?? That’s amazing! My H1n won’t let you.
    Plosives are terrible, but I would’ve expected much worse with those small diaphragm condensers. That dead cat works amazingly!
    No improvement on the handling noise front compared to the H1n (and probably the H1)
    That high pass filter can go pretty high!
    The noise floor on this is actually *WORSE* than the original H1!
    LOL I love that the U87, even at a completely different price level and a completely different market, is always included
    Not a fan of it on electric guitar, but it’s SDC. Sounded great on the acoustic, though!
    If my H1n dies, I’d definitely consider this.

That being said, I do always use bus power when using it as an audio interface.

AA batteries do store more energy than equivalent AAA batteries (which is why they’re bigger), although one at 1.5V I’m sure does result in more current draw compared to two batteries totaling 3V. My wireless mics also use two AA batteries each. Just need to find some rechargeables that fit (the ones I have are too large in diameter, as they tend to be).

      @@legacyShredder1 I will be recording RUclips videos, an audiobook, and my own musical musings. The RE20 should be spectacular for my voice, I am concerned about the Zoom UAC-232 as an interface though. If the converters on the Zoom UAC-232 sound displeasing to me, I'll put it up for sale on reverb and buy a MOTU or a used Sound Devices Mix Pre 6. I also wish to do some field recording when I get a couple of Lewitt LCT 540's and a field recorder. The Lewitt's noise floor is supposed to be technically inaudible. Therefore the claim that all Lewitt LCT 540's are "matched pairs". I wish to put this to test! How about yourself? What do you record?

      @@Cacophonous_Cat Awesome. The RE20 is a good mic no doubt. I own several pairs of the LCT 540, and it is a silent microphone as well it sounds good.
      I own recording studios where I produce and record bands, voiceover artists, Foley for movie sounds effects, and various other projects. I also do live recording and field recording.

      @@legacyShredder1 Ty for that reply, I am pleased to know I am on the right track with my purchases! I have a limited budget, every purchase needs to count. $1000 for a pair of microphones is a lot to me. However, because the LCT 540 looked to have real potential to be a work horse, I thought they would be worth the steep price. I plan to use them for stereo field recording, micing my acoustic, and when I can find a quiet place...my voice. Thanks again for the comment. Feedback from a working professional is greatly appreciated!

    I bought the M2 and though the 32 bit float gives idiot proof recordings it is a pain because it takes so much longer to process the files before use, so I use my H2N or R24 much more. FWIW. I can still use the M2 as a straight mic into the R24 though 😉

    • @JoeStuffzAlt
      @JoeStuffzAlt Месяц назад +1

      That's strange. Many programs process 32-bit float internally, but the file size may mean you have lower I/O performance.

    Oh Bandrew! Sorry, 32-bit float does not fix clipping. I explain why, in excruciating detail in an essay one can find on Medium titled "Microphone Clipping, The Three Types Explained" 32-bit-float is EXACTLY the same as 24-bit fixed in precision; that is, if you convert your 24-bit from that recorder to 32-bit, or vice-versa, they will be EXACTLY the same down to the last bit. I know, I've done it with the TASCAM version. It'll be the same with the Zoom. Just to be clear, I'm not arguing not to use 32-bit float. Use whatever you want!

      Disagree. We've all seen those reporter style videos where someone is interviewed and gets a little too excited. Thats what float is really for. Its also good for field recording where you cant always expect stuff to stay at the same volume.
