Zoom H5studio Voice Recorder 19.4 mm 32-Bit Float 6-Track

Professional Handheld Recorder for Creators

The Zoom H5studio is a portable audio recorder built for musicians, podcasters and filmmakers who need reliable capture in the field. It records up to six tracks simultaneously at sampling rates up to 192 kHz in WAV format. A 19.4 mm XY stereo microphone capsule sits on top, providing the largest built-in mics on a handheld recorder. Dual XLR-1/4" combo inputs with phantom power accept external microphones or line sources.

Sustained Recording with 32-Bit Float Headroom

32-bit float recording captures a massive dynamic range without clipping, so levels can be set after the take rather than during it. Dedicated gain knobs allow precise analogue trim when you want it, while 16 and 24-bit depth modes remain available for standard workflows. The recorder writes continuously to microSDXC cards up to 1 TB, supporting long sessions without dropouts. An onboard mixer and bright display give real-time control over all six tracks during extended use.

Low-Noise Operation and Flexible Power

F-Series preamps deliver clean gain with low self-noise, keeping the noise floor inaudible during quiet passages. The unit runs on standard batteries or USB bus power when serving as an audio interface for computers and smart devices. Interchangeable mic capsules let you adapt the pickup pattern without adding external hardware. Advanced limiters provide a safety net for unexpected transients in unpredictable environments.
