It’s not such a radical quality drop that it’s a dealbreaker, though. To my ear, the H1 delivers dialog that is flatter and less rich, especially in the higher frequencies, than the H4N. But if you were hoping for the same H4N quality in a smaller package, you will be slightly disappointed. Otherwise, it serves up an mp3 (no good for comparing audio.) So to be safe, I’ve posted direct links to the WAV files in the comments.Ĭonclusion: The Zoom H1 records solid dialog.
NOTE: I just discovered that the wordpress plugin I installed yesterday to steam these only serves the WAV version of the file if you have an HTML 5 compliant browser. Here’s how it sounds (WAV files recorded at 48khz 24bit): I didn’t do any post processing on the files except to reduce gain slightly on a couple files so they roughly were the same level for the comparison. I did a simple side-by-side comparison of male dialog (my voice reading the first paragraph of Origin of Species) recorded in my office, in three configurations: a Tram TR50 lav (run through a Sennheiser G3 wireless transmitter), built-in stereo mics, and Rode VideoMic. The more immediate concern is: how does it sound? But nevermind – the tiny size and killer price makes it possible to overlook that.
