Your Best Work Starts Here The H5studio was made for seamless and professional production. Creators can record flawless audio with stunningly clear microphones, studio-grade preamps, and 32-bit float recording. The Largest Mics Ever on a Handy Recorder The 19.4mm microphones capture audio with incredible frequency response, 140 dB max SPL, and an expansive dynamic range. Their increased size captures recordings with unmatched depth and clarity. F-Series Power, Now in Your Hands The H5studio features our F-series preamps, giving your audio unmatched clarity (-127 dBu EIN). With dual AD converters and 32-bit float, it delivers an impressive 132dB dynamic range, capturing everything without noise or distortion. Complete Control, Zero Clipping 32-bit float and 16/24-bit formats each have their advantages. 32-bit float prevents clipping but requires post-production. 16/24-bit eliminates the need for post-processing but requires gain adjustment to prevent clipping. The H5studio offers the best of both worlds with 32-bit float and dedicated gain knobs—no clipping and no need for post-production. Six Tracks Up to 192 kHz The H5studio captures up to six tracks (four iso-tracks plus a stereo mix) with sample rates up to 192 kHz. Protect Your Sound Carefully engineered RF shielding keeps interference from smartphones and Wi-Fi routers out of your recordings, anywhere you go. Advanced Limiters The H5studio features “advanced look-ahead” limiters which anticipate potential overloads and prevent distortion before it reaches your track. The Inputs The two locking XLR/TRS inputs support +48V phantom power and +4dBu line level. There is also a 3.5mm stereo jack with plug-in power. Next Generation Capsule System The H5studio’s 3.0 capsule system* supports 32-bit float and gives creators more options to use the right mic for their recording. *Compatible with SSH-6e , EXH-6e Waveforms & Levels Monitor input levels and real-time waveforms with the full color LCD, making it easy to adjust and monitor audio in real time. Headphone Out Use the loud 20 mW headphone output to monitor or listen back to your recordings in any environment. Line Out Use the 3.5mm stereo LINE OUT to connect directly to a camera, easily syncing your audio and video.
