HANDHELD VOICE RECORDER UPGRADE
The Zoom H1N is reliable and intuitive to use and has a lot of benefits whilst still being of excellent value and very high quality.Īs a user of the original H1 and now an owner of the H1N I can attest to how much of an upgrade this is. Zoom has been the main player in the portable audio recorder market for years now and while Sony might have a lot going for it the H1N is the latest version of what has been the most popular recorders of the past decade. The new front-facing interface is extremely intuitive XY microphone configuration creates natural sound with low noise levels

Build quality is fantastic and while the interface might not be the most intuitive at first it has plenty of hard control inputs allowing you to scrub through audio at 10 and 3-second intervals, adjust levels and release the in-built USB port.Īudio quality is class-leading for its price and along with lots of high-definition formats users can select different sound profiles when recording to best suit the situation they find themselves needing to capture audio in.Įxcellent reputation as one of the best portable audio recorders Instead, both are embedded into the body of the unit making for a sleek and well-proportioned product. The shape is very ergonomically friendly with no protruding microphones that we find awkward to fit in the pocket.

It’s lots of small refinements over the years that have given the 570 the top spot on our list of best portable audio recorders. Sony has been refining their mid-priced voice recorders for years now and with the UX570 model replacing the outgoing but very popular UX560 they feel right on top of their game.
