That is definitely something to consider! The advantage of that approach is that it would be free, or at least very affordable for me to do, but people would have to put up with ads. The advantage of the app is that people would just pay a subscription, or one time fee for each track, and then they don't have to worry about ads as they're falling asleep 🤔 I'm already stretched out quite thin, as the channel doesn't bring in a lot at the moment, and I need to dedicate most of my time to freelancing, in order to pay for rent and bills :D That's another factor I need to bear in mind.

Can the line in record levels be turned down for a hot signal? I record live music direct from an amp on the street. I use H2. It distorts in line in and cannot be turned down to a usable level. I would have to turn the amp volume down to get the record signal to go down. It has no limiter when using line input. Does h5 have a limiter on line in?

I have an H5 but was nevertheless curious to hear your review. For the most part, your review seems accurate and covered many of the considerations I considered when I was looking for an audio recorder. The only part of your review that might be a bit misleading is the suggestion that you can only record with two external inputs. In stock form this is true, although the built-in left and right mics on the top of the unit can be used simultaneously. However, if you want to record with 4 external microphones, this too is possible with the H5. Zoom makes a module that replaces the XY mics that come with the unit, which you showed in the list of accessories that can be attached, which offers two additional external inputs in lieu of microphones. This makes the H5 a very versatile recorder and one of the best of the prosumer handheld recorders. You also did not really touch on the multitrack capability for musicians, which also sets this unit apart from others and to some extent offers multitracking functionality similar to that possible with the H4N, with all the advantages of the cleaner preamps and replaceable modules.
@christianskyes

You are indeed correct about the capsule input, where you can plug in two more mics. I forgot to include it, it seems. It is worth pointing out that the device can not provide phantom power to the extra two inputs though. That is a great point in terms of musical use, though I didn't use it in that way, so didn't want to go down that rabbit hole. It's always great when people comment on the videos and add extra info though, so thank you! :)
@aseltzer144

SKYES Audio Thanks for your reply and good call on the lack of phantom power for the external inputs on the add-on capsule. Still, the ability to hang 4 external mics off of a handheld field recorder, even if two inputs are limited to the use of dynamic mics, is impressive and offers placement possibilities beyond what is possible with the fixed position XY mics.

TL DR: "Is the Zoom H5 Worth Buying in 2020?" HELL NO..!! Here's why: For me it's not worth it. Mine broken before I even start my production. I bought my Zoom H5 in the end of 2019, and just about to start my 1st project last night (20 April 2020). The only time I used my Zoom H5 to record a voice using my Audio Technica AT875R condenser mic is when I first bought it, just only to test that it's working well and I got the right setting (Phantom power +48V, etc). It's working well with no problem when I got it couple months ago. Last night, I tried to turn on my H5 and it said "Low Battery" and suddenly turned off. Well okay, I think that new battery I put inside somehow had already dried out inside the Zoom. It's new battery and never been used anyway. Then I took a couple of new AA 1.5v Alkaline battery, same brand, fresh and sealed, and put it in my Zoom. Again, it directly said it has low battery and suddenly turned off. I tried it with 3 couples of new AA 1.5v Alkaline battery, all results are the same, Low Bat and turned off. I tried to power my zoom H5 using USB 5V that come within the package. It won't turned on at first. But I kept trying to power it on, finally it turned on, and keeping on for about 10 minutes. New problem detected. The XYH-5 capsule mic that came with the H5 and embedded on top of it, was not capturing any voice signal. I tried to record, the result was totally silent. No signal at all. I directly factory reset my H5 just in case I accidentally change some setting last time I tested it couple months ago. I manage to reset it and update the latest firmware (v2.1). Well, actually it's already got the latest firmware, but I re-installed it anyway since I just did factory reset. After that, the exact problem still occurred. Nothing fixed or changed at all. Still no sound or any signal appear on screen. And until finally it turned off randomly, just like before. I've tried so many methods and ideas Google told me from forum, etc. Nothing worked. Instead, almost everybody who got the same problem with me, finally decided to bring their Zoom H5 back to the official service center and got their H5's motherboard replaced with new one. This morning I tried to work on it again, trying to fix it (again). I tried to power it on using battery, now it only turned on until the logo appear (about 1-2 second screen on), and suddenly off. The "Low Battery" notification that used to appeared last night didn't even appear. It's literally turned on for 1 sec for displaying Zoom logo, then suddenly Off like broken device (and yeah I think it's really broken). I tried to power it on using USB 5V, (with and without battery attached inside), it wouldn't be turned on at all. Totally dead. For your information, I put my Zoom H5 inside my electronic drying cabinet, together with all of my lenses and cameras. I never got it bumped, fallen, crashed, wet, dusty or anything. I hardly save my money for months only to buy this Zoom H5 and my AT875R condenser, and I broke as fu*k for couple weeks after purchasing them. So I really took care of it like a baby. But yea, it's broken, no hope at all. The even worse thing is, my AT875R also become useless and non-functional because I don't have any option to power it on, because it needs phantom power. Still waiting for any response from Zoom company in my country, Indonesia. And still no answer until now. Maybe it will even more delayed due to Corona. The point is, I still do believe (but not 100% anymore) that Zoom has great quality and trusted within another option and brands. But, 2020 is the Corona year, probably until mid-late this year. My experience above, should taken as a warning, that though Zoom is pretty much have a good track record, but it does broke on my case. And if you buy Zoom in this period of pandemic, and my problems also happened to you, you'll probably wont be able to get any proper and fast services response for your problem. Is the Zoom H5 Worth Buying in 2020? HELL NO. If you guys have any thought that might help my problem, please, please give me solution. I really need to continue making contents. Have to go back to my Boya BY-M1Lavalier mic for my projects. So sad. Cheers, Love.

I was telling my buddy about wanting to upgrade my tascam recorder with something with XLR inputs. On Christmas day I walk outside and there was a Zoom H5. He knew I could accept something that expensive (for us, at least) if he stuck around but either way Im as thankful as I could ever be. Ive been a musician for 18 years and this recorder has come in handy for just about anything and everything. Not to mention, I can be pretty rough on things and this thing is tough. Ive previously owned a Zoom H2, which I loved and a. Tascam DR, which I didn't own long enough to love or dislike. Is the Zoom H5 worth buying in 2021? Well, if you don't have anything that does the same job already than the answer is the Zoom H5 ab-so-fucking-lutely worth buying in 2021.

Not to be confused with the H4n, without the Pro, which is the older model, and much noisier. If you want to record external environments, might as well go with the H4n Pro, as it should be the cheapest of the three. Do bear in mind that with any recorder, you might have some hiss in the audio if you're recording really really quiet ambiences. Best of luck!

Hi, very helpful vid on the H5 ! My question if you get this would be if there's any way to power the H5 (or H6 for that matter) with an external usb charger pack like you can with the H1N? Or is pure AA battery only powered ? Thanks.

Lovely review. I’m focused on stereo recording acoustic instruments and vocals, in outdoor environments where the breeze, water and birds can be heard in the bkgrd. I’d like to keep things simple and not attach more mics, so my question is, “are the included x-y small condenser mics adequate in terms of sensitivity, EQ response curve and signal to noise?” Thank you.

Thank you for your video. I am currently deciding between the Zoom H5 and H6, I hope you could give me some advice on that. I am planning to use the Zoom to record acoustic guitar music, which means that most of the time I would be using either the in-built mic or only two XLR inputs for mics. I am wondering if the H6 is a better quality audio interface than the H5, if I use the zoom as an audio interface in the future? And if I record the music directly into the Zoom with 2 external mics, is the H6 going to produce a better quality recording than the H5? Thank you for your help.

What do you think about the device as a music/live performance recording? The four channels can be used multitrack fashion (that is, one at a time, using the four line/mic as four different tracks -I do not think this is the "overdub" function, which would in my view record over the existing track) like the H8? Any thought about this? Thanks, great job

I just bought the zoom H5 and i can say that is not so good device. The X,Y capsule its ok but the xlr/line inputs are not good quality. Huge noise ratio and most important its not a quality(even good) to use is as a sound card - especially on live monitoring of xlr inputs . The reason is that the line output is so low even on 0 db and if you try to level up the xlr/line preamps above level 3 all what you hear is distortion. Let me know if i am wrong and if you have any solution to the distortion problem of line out (with live monitoring of xlr/line inputs)

Thanks a lot! :) No worries, no question is silly. 1. I would recommend getting a mic in addition to the Zoom H5. I have the Shure SM7B, but there are loads of more affordable options, like the Road Podcaster. 2. If you plug in two microphones, you can save it as a stereo file, so the left mic will be on the left, and the right mic will be on the right. You can then break up the stereo file into two mono files, and thus separate the recordings. I hope this helps!

I have zoom h5 but wanted to buy h6. Not upgrading though just adding. Planning to use the h5 for podcast and h6 for song covers. Can you recommend doing so or the h5 can handle it all?
@christianskyes
4 жыл бұрын
The H5 should be able to handle both, depending on how many people you want on your podcast. If it's up to two, then you're fine. You can even extend the inputs to 4, by adding an extension to it, but the issue is that those two inputs can not receive phantom power. If you're only using dynamic mics then you'll be fine, but if you use condensers, and you know you'll have more than two people talking at once, then the H6 is the way to go. In terms of recording cover songs, the H5 would work as well, but the same input issue arrises. If you don't need more than 2 XLR inputs, or if you just plan to use the X/Y capsule, then the H5 is all you need.

Hi :) The ability to record quiet sounds cleanly is kind of tied to the price of the device. One affordable device which I use for quieter stuff is the Tascam DR-60DmkII. It doesn't have any built-in mics, but it has 2 XLR inputs. If you need to record random sounds in mono, you can start with a Rode NTG-2. The combo is relatively affordable and it can produce great results. You can also use it for podcasting as long as you only need 2 mics. Hope this helps 👍

Just bought a Zoom H5. The quality I'm getting with the XY mic is pretty crisp. But, is anyone finding every recording to have a lot of hissing? The hissing/noise floor is so high, it's really distracting. I'm making sure the mic level on the XY capsule is not too high, of course, but it still has to be high enough reasonably that I'm getting a loud enough signal to work with when editing. For what I'm recording in these tests, I'm sitting about 2 ft away from the microphone in a quiet bedroom (environment is pretty good, no fridge hums, no A/C running, no outside noises bleeding in, etc.). It's not a perfect space, there's undoubtedly some low-end being captured, but that's not the issue I'm running into. I tried going to different rooms, different mic gain levels, etc. but I'm still getting the hiss unfortunately. Once I start editing, and gain up a bit to the final mix levels that I'm looking for, it's capturing just a constant HISS throughout. Makes the audio super distracting and hard to use. Anyone have any ideas why this could be happening?

@@ef2b Unfortunately not. I tried through batteries and running through USB cable for power - both had the hissing. I actually reached out to Zoom and they sent me a new XY mic capsule to test... still had the hissing. So either the body unit has issues, or it's just how the H5 is and I should expect the hissing. I mean, I understand I can't expect too much from a portable recorder, so I expect SOME hissing, but it's just weird seeing raw audio from other users and youtubers that don't seem to have this hissing present. So, I've sort of given up and just accepted it for now. Hopefully later on I can test with other H5 bodies to compare.
