Versatile 12-Track Field Recorder

The Zoom H8 is a 12-track portable recorder built for podcasters, musicians and field recordists who need flexible input options and a tactile touchscreen workflow in a single battery-powered unit. It ships with interchangeable input capsules and dedicated apps that adapt the interface to podcasting, music or general field capture.

Interchangeable Capsules and Combo Inputs

The recorder replaces fixed-capsule handhelds and small mixers by adding four XLR inputs with pad switches, two XLR/TRS combo jacks with Hi-Z for instruments, and swappable microphone capsules so one device covers stereo ambience, multi-mic interviews and direct guitar recording. The jump is worth it when you regularly switch between those scenarios and want to avoid carrying separate interfaces.

Check SD Capacity and Power Plan

Before ordering, confirm you have SD, SDHC or SDXC cards up to 512 GB for storage and a supply of four AA alkaline cells or an alternative USB power source for the rated 20-hour runtime. Verify that your computer or tablet supports USB audio class operation if you plan to use the interface mode for streaming or DAW recording.
