Review on Portable ZOOM H5 Dark Gray Recorder by Achara Chamniprasart ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

Unexpected ill-conceived fastening - the thread for a standard screw is made not in the form of a metal "glass", but like a nut, in the body. However, it is not very deep. Some screws are slightly longer, and when screwed, they rest against the plastic of the case inside the mount and at some point the bottom breaks out (!) inside. No special effort is required, but you will immediately understand that this has happened. Fortunately, adhesive insulation is laid there and nothing flounders in the case, but Pts is annoying. Everything else is great, although the noise of the microphones (standard xy and stereo gun) would be 3 decibels quieter :). If the audio output were balanced, this recorder would not be worth the price.

Pros
  • - Replaceable microphones; - level adjustment protection (frame); - USB connection as a microphone, powered by USB; - and as audio cards.
Cons
  • - Tripod mount, see comments; - sometimes there are not enough compressor settings, essential for live streams: it can be too quiet and too loud almost at the same time.
