 Available July 30: Zoom's H1 Handy Recorder
 Their smallest, most affordable recorder ever

 The H1 puts professional stereo recording capabilities in your pocket

Hauppauge, NY - June 01, 2010 - Zoom is excited to announce availability and shipping dates for its smallest recorder to date, the new H1 Handy Recorder. Weighing in at about 2 oz, the H1 records big sound despite its tiny footprint and features the same studio-quality microphones as Zoom's renowned H2 - the most popular handheld recorder in the world. The H1 is priced at just $99, making it one of the most affordable professional recording solutions available.

Like all Zoom recorders, the H1's two onboard microphones are configured in an X/Y pattern, for stunning stereo imaging depth and clarity. The pocket-sized H1 delivers crystal clear 24-bit/96 kHz stereo recordings perfect for music, interviews, lectures, recitals, band practice and more.

"It's our smallest recorder ever," said Mark Wilder, Director of Marketing. "But don't let its size fool you. The H1 Handy Recorder features our studio-quality microphones and our award winning recording technology at a very affordable price."

The H1 is also the easiest Zoom recorder to use, sporting a newly designed user interface that places all its functions at the touch of a button. Zoom included access to the track marker, auto record, low cut filter, level and volume controls with onboard buttons and no menus.

The H1 can accommodate up to 32GB microSDHC memory cards, providing over 50 hours of recording time. The new pocket sized recorder is powered by a single AA size battery, which provides up to 10 hours or continuous operation. The Zoom H1 Handy Recorder will be available everywhere on July 30 for $99.

The accessory kit is over and above the 99 dollars that you will be paying for the recorder Best that someone reviews it before everyone rushes out and

buys one of these puppies. It may not be as blind user friendly as one would

like! Remember for 99 bucks you are not going to get talking functioning
buttons that guide you through the operating process. .

I didn't find out what the accessories for the unit would cost. I don't
think the padded case and wind screen are included with the $99.00 price on

Amazon.

Not necessarily. The h2 & h4 have quite noisy preamps  and they're more
expensive than this unit.

That shouldn't be an issue if the unit lives up to its claims as meeting

It depends how quiet the internal mic preamp is on the new zoom recorder.

Hmm, but if you're plugging in a microphone of your choice, and both
machines record in .wav file format, would it matter at that point which
one
you were using? I would opt for anything that makes professional
recordings
like for audience taping at concerts or for making demo recordings, so
have
you figured out what the Zoom has that the Olympus does not, if you're
using
the same microphone?
