help Zoom H1n FAQ
Can a lavalier microphone plug directly into the Zoom H1n?
Yes, the H1n has a 3.5 mm stereo mic/line input that can accept many self-powered lavaliers. Compatibility depends on the microphone's connector wiring and power requirements, so a phone-oriented TRRS lavalier may need an adapter.
What recording formats does the Zoom H1n support?
It records WAV audio at up to 24-bit/96 kHz and also supports MP3 recording. Files are stored on a microSD or microSDHC card rather than internal recording memory.
Is the Zoom H1n suitable for recording a live concert?
Its built-in 90-degree X/Y stereo microphones can capture rehearsals, concerts, and ambient sound with a coherent stereo image. Loud venues require careful gain setting and use of the limiter or low-cut options to reduce clipping and rumble.
How is the Zoom H1n different from the H4n Pro?
The H1n is a simpler two-channel recorder built around fixed X/Y microphones. The H4n Pro adds XLR/TRS inputs, four-track recording, and more control, but it is larger and more complex.
