Zoom is not well-known among ordinary consumers in China, but it is a legendary brand in the minds of every professional recording artist. Founded in 1983, it is a well-known professional handheld recording equipment manufacturer in Japan, including portable recording equipment, field recording equipment, guitar effects, etc., among which the Zoom-505 is the world's highest-selling guitar effect.
 
Focusing on the professional recording market is the biggest feature of Zoom, its voice recorder pays great attention to recording quality, but it is weak in other features, not portable, and only suitable for consumers with professional recording needs.
 
Compared with big audio brands such as Sony, Zoom's price advantage is obvious, the entry-level basic model is only about 800 yuan, the mid-range is about 1500 yuan, and the flagship product is only 2500 yuan, which is cost-effective.
 
The Handy Recoder series is one of Zoom's most well-known product lines, and the product models of this series all start with H and gradually increase from 1 to 6 professional levels.
 
The H1n is an updated version of the first generation of voice recorders, and compared to the previous generation H1, the only difference is the appearance of the product. Unlike the usual digital voice recorders for everyday use, the Zoom entry-level model has a wider range of sound quality and usage scenarios. Most of the daily voice recorders, especially the products of domestic digital manufacturers, are only equipped with a simple recording module, which is almost the same as the recording effect of digital products such as mobile phones. While the recording effect can be achieved when recording at close range, in the noisier environment, the recording effect is not satisfactory. The H1n microphone is XY system, with a wide stereo effect, and an opening design at the bottom of the microphone, which has higher sensitivity than ordinary recording equipment, and the recording effect is better, and the price is only 760 yuan.
 
Since the H4, Zoom has been equipped with XLR connectors, which are often referred to as XLR connectors, which are the most widely used interfaces in professional audio systems, and most microphones and professional equipment use XLR connectors, which also makes H4 have better quality external accessories. The H4n Pro is a convenient recording device for positioning movie cameras, and consumers who buy this product often use it to shoot small videos, such as wedding follow-ups. The price of about 1500 yuan and its quasi-professional-level configuration are very cost-effective products.
 
The H6 has a higher positioning, and its biggest feature is that it can be used with three different microphones, which are enough to deal with various scenarios such as interviews, cameras, and music scenes. Not only that, but it can also be used as a portable small mixer, providing sound recording, processing, and other functions. Professional recording requires microphones, mixers, synthesizers and other equipment, and the H6 provides up to 6 XLR ports, which can integrate all the equipment required for professional recording, and it can be said that the H6 is so powerful that it cannot be described as a voice recorder alone.
 
It is a pity that Zoom has not directly set up a company in China, and its sales are mainly agents, and there are no official stores online, so there are relatively few purchase channels.
