H5 : Great field recorder

5 years ago

For a hobbyist like me, it's a great field recorder. I use it within a backpack to record my motorcycle and the XY capsule does a good job.

I've also successfully used it with a Sennheiser E906 to record guitar amplifiers.

Great battery life even using 48V with 2x AA Ni-mH batteries (in my case, rechargeable Eneloops).

It's feature packed, but the features aren't that useful in my opinion. The compressor, limiter and low cut-off are near useless, even more-so if you intend to do some basic post-production.
