So Many Ways to Record
The H2essential is the only Handy Recorder with three internal microphones. With the ability to select different mic patterns, it gives creators more options than ever before.
With two cardioid mics facing front and rear and a bi-directional mic facing side to side, the H2essential allows you to choose the perfect pick-up pattern for every recording. Set your pickup pattern to 90º or 120º stereo, or choose mono for a hyper directional pickup, reducing background noise. Then choose to record from the front, rear, or select both sides for surround sound pickup. Record in 90º stereo with the rear microphones to capture a natural stereo image . Using the front and rear-facing stereo 120º microphones, capture a wide, immersive sound field of the entire ensemble. Mono pickup reduces environmental noise for better isolation. Using the front and rear microphones, you can capture two discrete tracks. Use the H2essential as a mono or stereo USB microphone for streaming and video calls. Record audio for sound design with the front-facing stereo microphone to capture focused, detailed sounds. Add an external shotgun mic to add directional pickup with reduced background noise. Record in 32-bit float up to 96kHz ensuring high-quality audio When connected to a PC, Mac, iOS, or Android device using the USB-C port, the H2essential can be used as a USB microphone while simultaneously recording to the SD card. Connect the H2essential to your mobile device via USB and record professional audio directly onto your phone's video. Perfect for video podcasts and live streams. Record in MS Raw and adjust the width of the stereo image in post production. This is helpful when you want to control ambient noise.
