Digital recorder maker Zoom has released its smallest recorder yet in the Handy Recorder line, the H1.
The H1 weighs only two ounces and is the size of a candy bar; it retails for $99.
The H1 mounts two microphones in an X-Y pattern and records up to 24-bit/96 kHz. It uses microSD cards as its recording medium and ships with a 2 GB card. Power comes from a single AA battery. An optional USB/AC adapter allows for wired operation.
A USB port facilitates downloading files. Other features include built-in speaker and low-cut filter. MP3 recording is also available, up to 320 kbps. A small back-lit LCD screen monitors performance. A basket protects the mics.
