Equipped with multiple microphones, the H2essential adapts to every situation thanks to its simple and clear controls. Choose the ideal directivity (mono, 90º or 120º stereo), select front or rear recording: off you go! The H2essential offers 360° surround sound recording and can record in MS Raw format if you want to adjust the width of the stereo image in post-production.
The H2essential records in 32-bit floating point up to 96 Khz, delivering high-quality sound without having to adjust the gain. Connected to your PC, Mac, iOS or Android smartphone, it can be used as a USB microphone for your podcasts, videos and live streams while simultaneously recording to the SD card. Its color LCD screen displays recorded waveforms in real time and allows you to easily navigate through localized menus in French. Visually impaired creators will be able to benefit from audio navigation, also in French. You will find in the menus many advanced features such as a low-cut filter, pre-recording, automatic recording, playback speed adjustment...
The H2essential has a 3.5 mm mini-jack input accepting external devices and lavalier microphones (PiP power supply provided).
