Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the safety channel also work for the XLR inputs? or only L and R?

A: The safety recording (Backup file) feature of the Zoom H5 4-Input / 4-Track Portable Handy Recorder with Interchangeable X/Y Mic Capsule is only available for recordings using the L/R input, not the XLR.

Q: 2. Which camera models support direct-to-device recording? Any with a USB-C port? Various online sources list this capability.

A: Right now the main models with USB-C SSD drive support are the Black Magic Pocket 4k,6k models. Black Magic URSA Broadcast and URSA 4.6k G2, Zcam cameras, Sigma FP.

Q: 3. Is there an "auto" option for recording input level, instead of having to set it manually?

A: Yes, the Zoom H5 does have options for auto-recording and it can automatically set the input level. This feature can be very useful, but it depends on what you will be recording because you do not want to have the recorder stop if it does not hear any sound, then start recording again when it does. What you can do is use the auto-record function to see how it sets the input level and then you can go back to manual mode and set the input level the same way or adjust it as needed. That way you will not have to worry about the recorder stopping and starting at the wrong times. Use the auto mode to teach you how to set the input levels so you can adjust them manually in order to get the best results for your recording applications.

Q: 4. I heard bigger SD cards have slower start/boot times. what SD card does everyone use? how many gigs and brand? how long was the start up time?

A: Start-up time can vary from a few seconds to a minute or more. Stay with SanDisk cards that are no larger than the project demands. Stick with SDHC cards no larger than 32GB. 16GB or smaller work well for most projects.

Q: 5. I have a external power bank with only 2A USB outputs. Would I need a 1A output for the Zoom H5 or will it be ok with the 2A?

A: Given your context, a 2 amp USB output versus a 1 amp is nothing to be too worried about. The area of concern is the voltage output. 5v is the max recommended by Zoom.

Q: 6. Does H5 support line in levels of +4dBu, i.e professional line level?

A: The H5 supports a +4 dB (professional) line input level

Q: 7. Has anyone used this with a dynamic mic with or without a preamp?

A: Yes, I've used it with a Shure SM10A head mounted mic and it's worked well, using the built-in preamp in the Zoom. You have to turn up the gain pretty high, usually, though, but that's true in general for this particular mic. I use it to record people speaking for phonetic research.

Q: 8. In multi-track recording mode, can I set one channel to record a line-level input, while the other channel receives a mic-level signal?

A: Input 1 and 2 (XLR connectors) are two mono inputs. Each has a seperate gain control knob on the body of H5. It is absolutely possible to set one channel to record at line level and the other to record at mic level.There is also a stereo line/mic input (the L/R input) on the XYH-5 mic module that is shipped with H5. This stereo input (TRS connector) has only one gain control knob. The knob is on the mic module, not on the body of H5. This knob adjust recording levels of both stereo channels of the TRS input at the same time. Therefore it is not possible to record the two channels of the L/R input at different levels (theoretically you can use a split-cable with in-line physical attenuators. But I do not recommand you do this).And since the L/R channel has its own knob on the mic module, it is also possible that you record stereo at line level from the L/R input while at the same time record at mic level with the XLR inputs.P.S. The capability of recording different channels at different levels is not determined by in which mode you are recording (multi-track or stereo). The capability of recording different channels at different levels is determined by the gain control knobs. The multi-track and stereo recording mode are about how the recorded files are stored in the memory card. In multi-track mode, recording from the L/R stereo input is stored as a stereo file while recordings from the 1 and 2 inputs are stored as two seperate mono files. In stereo mode you can also record more than two channels. But if there are more than two channels recorded, all channels will be recorded together into a single stereo file. In multi track mode, you are able to adjust record volumes after recording since all channels are stored in seperate files. In stereo modes, if you are recording more than two channels, you have to pay serious attention to the gain control knobs since you are not able to adjust volumes independently AFTER recording. If more than two channels are recorded at stereo mode, at least one channel will be mixed with another channel in the stereo file.

Q: 9. Will recording a dual wireless mic receiver via XLR plus the capsule stereo mics in multi-track give me 4 separate audio tracks?

A: When you are using the mic capsules and have channels 1&2 linked to accommodate a stereo input, you would receive 2 stereo audio tracks that have 4 separate channels (Left and Right channel on each track).

Q: 10. does this have any analog outputs?

A: The Zoom H5 features a dedicated 1/8 stereo line out jack. The headphone output can also be used as an analog line output if necessary.
