TUTORIAL - connect Zoom H1n to camera and use it as a stereo mic

Use your Zoom H1n as a stereo mic on top of your camera. You can also enable the limiter to prevent clipping and highpass filter to attenuate low frequency rumble.

I use the H1n for all my vids. I love this tool! Such great quality! For not a big price. Great vid man!

[@IsheetaYadav]

Luke Learns hey can you tell me the gear you use to connect it to the dslr

[@ClassicCyclingCC]

Great videos on the Zoom H1n but you forgot to mention 1 important thing I believe. There are 2 ways of recording when connecting the H1n to a camera. You can simply use the H1n as a mic that feeds directly to the camera or you can also press record on the H1n and get a redundant recording to the H1n SD card in addition to the recording in the camera.

[@jweatherly26]

Have you tried both, I am considering getting an H1n and wondering if the line out has the same quality as the recorded audio (obviously the camera becomes the recorder at that point) but I am just curious if the line out is the same quality as the internal recording.

[@ClassicCyclingCC]

Hi Jeremy. This is my take on the H1n after using 1 for about 6 months. It is a very versatile and easy to use digital recorder but I find it extremely sensitive to any surrounding noise like wind, white noise, or any shake or movement. The recording on the camera coming from the line out of the H1n is fine but I think that the internal recording from the H1n SD card sounds better. However, I also use a Rode Wireless Go that I connect to my camera and personally the camera recording from the Rode sounds better. It is cleaner and requires less processing in post than the recording from the H1n. 1 set up I haven’t tried yet is connecting the Rode Wireless receiver to the line in of the H1n and then connecting the line out of the H1n to the camera and see what that sounds like. My next experiment.

[@justinzaff]

@@ClassicCyclingCC how did your experiment go ?

[@ClassicCyclingCC]

Hello Rope Runner. Worked just fine but the H1n is not a great camera mic. I get much better sound with my Rode wireless. Cheers

[@matango1979]

The Zoom can't substitute a Rode mic. They are used for different scenarios.

[@anderssvarenmusic]

Thank you for your help👍 It was easy and clearly.

[@iancraig]

Julian, while this does work fine and thanks for the info about getting a -6dB tone, there is one problem from the Zoom into my camera. The output from the Zoom headphone is noisy. So you get the mic noise on the input and the noisy output from the Zoom itself which makes for fairly noisy stereo recordings. Sorry, I know this is a fairly old video now, but I suspect some kind of impedance adapter might help between the recorder output and the camera input to try and reduce this noise.

[@Dipuzon]

Ian, can you please tell me how i should set up the h1n for best quality possible? thank you!

[@iancraig]

I’m working away from home at the moment Emil and it would be easier if I had the H1n with me. I’ll come back to you next week.

[@argreg04]

Any solution to this, Ian?

[@iancraig]

I never had a go with it Greg. Mainly because I don’t use it this way. My guess is that it’s just an electrical mismatch with my camera. To be honest, even using a headphone into the Zoom is noisy. It does tend to hiss. It’s on the output because that hiss isn’t on the recordings. Just the output so it’s coming from the headphone amp section.

[@argreg04]

Excellent video, especially for non -tech savvy people like me. I recently bought the Zoom H1N and I have been using a Boya BY-M1 mic with my Nikon D5300. I want to connect the mic with the Zoom H1N and then connect the Zoom H1N to my camera, so that I have 2 audio files. 1. Which cable do I need? TRS to TRRS or some other one? 2. Please give some advice regarding an inexpensive lav mic, which is similar in quality and price as Boya BY m1, because the part of Boya BY-M1 with the battery makes it really fragile. Thank you very much for your time and effort.

[@cryora]

Assuming it's a linear scale in db, since there's 7 bars between 12 and 0, then each bar represents an interval of 1.7 db. On the other hand, there's 14 bars between 40 and 12, which means the interval would calculate to be (40 - 12) / 14 = 2 db. So -6 db would be in the third or fourth bar to the left of the 0 bar give or take.

[@rishabh.kaushik.]

Thanks a lot man..really helpful. Just one query, do one need to do this calibration whenever the camera or recorder is switched on or is this needs to be done just once and the settings will remain same unless changed manually. Thanks

[@sweepdog]

Noob question but does this eliminate having to sync audio and video in the video editor afterwards? Thanks

[@cordiaterapias]

Exact. It will no longer be necessary to synchronize the audio. By connecting the Zoom directly to the camera, you are using it as if it were an external microphone. Zoom audio replaces the camera audio track.

[@sirobb]

Hi Julian. May I firstly congratulate you on the quality of your videos which have been very useful to an inexperienced sound person. My question is could you use the H1 (or higher zoom models) as a live streaming mic which connects directly to a laptop? I'm looking to improve the audio on my KZbin videos but want a flexible solution where I can record sound files directly for voice overs or out and about through a lav mic as well as hopefully using it as an external microphone on my laptop for live stream Q and A sessions with OBS Studio. So basically, could I use a TRS to TRS lead from the Zoom H1 output to the microphone input on my laptop for this purpose?

[@JulianKrause]

Glad you like my videos!!! If you only want to have a mic to plug straight into your PC for live streaming, I would recommend something like the Samson Q2u. In my opinion, this will give you an even better audio quality than the H1n. But if you like the versatility of the H1n and want to connect a lavalier, it is still a good choice. And yes, you can use the H1n to live stream. You can simply connect it to the PC via USB and you can use it as an audio interface. So, the sound of the H1n could be used as a mic in OBS.

[@sirobb]

Thank you for the reply. That was exactly the information I needed and good luck with your channel.

[@muscleandhate]

Apologies if this is a silly question, but does this mean you don't need to make a loud sound at the start to help you sync up the audio to the visuals after - I guess I'm asking, is the audio recorded separately or it is connected to the visual output?

[@JulianKrause]

Hey, that's not a silly question! To answer it: Yes, you do not have to clap or anything like that anymore. The audio of the H1n is going trough the cable directly into the camera and is recorded simultaniously with the video. So, the audio is already in the video file and perfectly synced. :)

[@muscleandhate]

@@JulianKrause Thank you very much Julian! :)

[@dragosionel9487]

Sorry for the question but do have to press record on the h1n simultaneously with the rec on the camera or is it enough for it to be just switched on? So when you download the video from the camera the video will have the sound from the h1n synced already?

[@cassiekrebs8012]

newbie question it seems like the sound from the mic is very soft when I play it on my computer I don't have an editing software yet but as someone mentioned down below volume 64 is -6 on a canon 80D. If I was understanding correctly I just need to hook it to line out on the zoom mic on the camera, do your steps lower volume in on the camera set it one up from the last setting, and set it to the zoom volume to 64 of hit stop button on the zoom and record on the camera yes?

[@JulianKrause]

That's correct. After that you have to set your gain with the dial, so that the levels on the H1n hit about -12 dB. Then it should sound pretty good. If you want to go louder you can turn in the limiter and set your gain dial on the H1n so that your levels hit about -6 dB. Cheers!

No. But having the card and using the record button will create a higher quality version of the audio that you can use in post. Also the H1 N comes equipped with a tone recording to easily sync the two if you edit on software that does not include auto sync.

@@VistasdelMar2008 I know this is kinda old, but what exactly do you mean with the sync. Say i let the H1n record all night and I do videos here and there. Then there is a software which automatically can put sort the clip i recorded at 1pm to the sound line which started recording at lets 11 am?

Thank you for the tip. you could also provided the test audio sample with same setup on the video. hope its better than camera audio.

[@JulianKrause]

Dang, totally forgot about that. But you´re right, in most cases it will sound considerably better than the in-camera microphones. You also get a true stereo recording, which not every camera provides. Additionally the usability is higher, because you do not have to dive into menus to change your audio gain. And the limiter on the H1n prevents clipping, which is a feature you will hardly find on any camera. So, I think besides the upgrade in audio quality there are quite a few more reasons you might use the H1n on top of a camera. Thank you for your input!

Hey Daniel, the gain level does not matter. Regardless what you set your gain to the tone will always be at -6dB.

Should I just then change the volume or something within Premiere? I recorded two people speaking. Also - why is sound in minus Db when recording anyway? Many thanks!

[@JulianKrause]

Hey, I guess the audio is so low, because you did not turn the gain (rotary knob on top of H1n) to a proper value. Please watch my beginner's guide, there I explain how to record audio correctly: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKXVn32fiquAmdU If you have already recorded something and you have to use the recording, you will have to amplify the recording in premiere. Of course, the next time you should record your audio with proper levels to begin with :) The dB scale is negative, because there is a maximum level how loud audio can get (0dBFS). You always have to stay below that level, and because of that the dBs are negative.

[@nickn7939]

All I did was set the H1n to auto level off and use the gain to check the max db of your audio source before recording. He was saying make sure it does not exceed -6db, but also not so low it doesn't pick up any audio. The other fiddling about is not necessary. You can just plug it in and it works. If your audio source is too loud or quiet, then adjust recording level in canon's settings. For reference my recording level doing a vlog indoors was set to -10db and my gain on the nob was around 7.

Hey, noise can have many sources. The limiter for example creates some noise on the H1n. So if you don't need it, turn it off. To get the cleanest sound try to get the H1n as close to your audio source as possible. As small amount of noise is usually pretty normal with the H1n.

[@JulianKrause]

Very likely there is no big difference in the audio quality between recording internaly with the H1n or in the camera. But when you record in the H1n you will have to sync the audio in post production which can be very time consuming. I don't think that's worth it.

@@JulianKrause Can you record in-camera and on the H1N at the same time so you get both recordings?

[@robinteranphotography]

Does the h1n needs to be with the micro sd card?

[@JulianKrause]

If you want to record with the H1n it needs to have a micro SD card inside it. If you only want to route the audio to the camera, it should work without the micro SD card.
