Production, live events, music, and more

The Zoom H1 XLR portable recorder is definitely excellent for film and video production, but it’s also quite ideal for live events such as filming a play, sports, etc. It’s also going to be great for recording live music (concerts, intimate shows, etc.).

Great footage with average to sub-par audio can ruin a production, and it’s something that can haunt a project. The Zoom H1 XLR portable recorder helps with getting great audio. One of my old film buddies uses Zoom and RODE mics for all sorts of situations, ensuring he’s got great audio to work with in post.

Conclusion 

At a price of $149.99, the Zoom H1 XLR portable audio recorder is quite ideal for any production, particularly those out in the field. Audio is very important for a project, so there’s no excuse not to have high quality sound to match your footage. Learn more at Zoom’s website.
