Watching this 48 hours before a film shoot, my first time doing sound/using the zoom h5, thank you so much for this helpful information!

I haven't used my H5 in months, so I needed a refresher on how to format an SD card, plus I learned some extra things in the process of listening to your tutorial. Much appreciated, thanks!

Thanks for this video! Exactly what I needed. Completely forgot about the mic running on phantom power. Thought it was broken for a minute. Perfect tutorial.

I love that a high school how-to vid is teaching all of us how to properly use an H5 :D

Being a/not that bright and b/terrified of technology, this is my go-to video everytime I forget the basics. Well done and thanks for your generosity.

Thanks so much for this super practical guide! It helped me get up and running with my H5.

Holy Cow did you make this easy. I got a little overwhelmed with the manual. Thanks!!

Great video! Straight up and to the point and showing everything you're doing as you are describing it! Thanks!

Found this to be very helpful. I couldn't figure out how to access phantom power and with your video I am up and running!! Thanks!

Hello, My Zoom H5 is on its way as I type and already I am so much for confident in using it for the first time. You are a great teacher and I am grateful. Rachel

I just got my H5 today! Thanks very much for the video. I've already tested the mic out and the audio blows my mind. I used to use a RODE Go Mic, so the upgrade was totally worth it.

Great delivery. No extra fluff, just useful explanations. Thanks

Thank you so much for a great INFORMATIVE AND BRIEF review. I love the H5 Recorder and have been using mine for my Bachelors of Science Degree Program at Full Sail University and have used it in a Sound Design project for a video game. Crazy considering I am an Audio Productions student. I love this recorder and I love the Demo/Overview that you have provided for us. Brief and Clear...Loved This. Thank You.

FABULOUS video and introduction to the H5. Truly useful. Thanks!

Excellent video, really to the point and easy to understand. Thank you so much!

Excellent, cristal clear informations with a nice voice speed. No further need for a user manual. Thanks

Trying to download the files via the cable is like trying to push a gallon of water through a cocktail straw. The speed is like maple syrup. Especially when you're dealing with Wave files.

Just bought the H5 online, going to pick it up from Best Buy now! Thanks for the tutorial!

Very good instructional video on the Zoom H5. You can see the screen so clearly, thanks.

Such a clean and helpful video. Right on point, sir!

Thank You again, I just watched your video again to see how you transfer th audio to the laptop.Now is clear to me

Thank you so much for taking the time to shoot this helpful video!! :)

Lost my instruction manual. Thanks for the vid!

Best explanation I've found. Thanks!

I really like my Zoom H-5. Especially when I need to do voice over for any of my videos and don't feel like sitting at my studio desk. I can hook up one of my quality 🎤 s and do voice over from in my bed if I want to. I just ordered a power cable adapter for it so I can use that instead of having to use batteries. Very Quality Product.

I congratulate you , You have done a great job.i have managed to understad how 5 works, I wish you the best, thans a lot from from spain

Great tutorial. Many thanks indeed 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks. Always a good video.

Such a simple, short and useful video! Thank you very much.

At :40'ish seconds the volume up/down controls not only the headphone out port but also the internal speaker of the unit.

You DO ROCK Mr. Watson! Thanks so much!

Nice and easy explanation...

Thanks much for the video, Mr. Watson. Great basics video to get me started.

Excellent. Answered all my questions. Thank you!

Well explained, thank you!

Thanks for the tutorial :) helped me to test the device

Thanks for making it easy for beginners.

Man. This shows you the benefits of having an actual teacher showing you something. Keep on Rocking Mr Watson; it ain't elementary ;-)

Sound advice,thanks.

very nice and clear explaination

thank you so much for this great info. I'm getting familiar with this product so its very exciting. I have a cooking KZfaq channel and its been almost a year so now I want t impress everyone with new videos w the recording products, mics and lighting.

Super helpful, thank you

thank you so much! this was super helpful!

Very helpful, thank you!

Thanks for a great review. The only thing that might have helped a little would have been some discussion about audio format and set up. Thanks for your great work.

Nice tutorial - was unaware of the usb port! Thanks

this was incredibly helpful!!! thank you so much!

Ready to do some recordings here on Mt. Shasta I just saw your vid and it helped me set up my Zoom really quick, thanks!

Simple, straight to the point. Thanks! 👍

Fantastic! Thanks man!

Wow this was really handy (hehe) but for real, great information!

My god...you saved my life..!!! Thanks for the great explanation ❤️

Thank you. 🙏🏾 🎉

Thank you, it was very useful

You don’t have to turn the Zoom H5 off and back on to use it as a card reader or USB interface. Just go to the USB tab in the menu and select which device you want.

That was really helpful...my first day with H5...thanks!!!

Thank you so much for your informative video!!! Exactly what I needed to hear.

Excellent video. Thank you.

thank you for such a good, clear and straight to the point tutorial thanks a millie

wow- thank you. You are a great teacher.

just what I was looking for, thank you!

always turn off phantom power before unplugging a mic.

This tutorial rules thank you so much. I'm so excited for my new recorder.

I put in my sd card But it says there is none Do you know a possible reason why this is?

Great video. Which jack on the side (line out or headphones) do I use if I want to listen to the play back of any of the recorded material? Either I have horrible headphones, or I need a therapist.

great content

Thank you so much!

Just curious about your caution with the SD slot… are they prone to breakage?

Any instructions on how to delete the recorded files? I have not been able to find that.

What is the difference between the sd card reader and audio interface?

Use it anywhere voice/Singing/Beatbox Rechargeable battery sd card control the mic 2 microphone L and r Rechargeable battery Bottom X L R Cable Hold it down the power button left side of Push menu button scroll down to format Are you sure you wanna format yes Scroll up it says Folder choose what recorder Find Audio Control using dyle top of Zoom H5 Voice Loud Adjust dyle Push record button (middle red circle Zoom 001 Record use for microphone beatbox With Rode mtg XLr Cable plug it in 1 Cable Plug it in turn of Lr Push the button Push 1 plug port 1 enable plug 1 Enable port 1 Phantom power to microphone beatboxing Go menus scroll down to In/Out Scroll down where it says phantom Turned on Push menu control Voltage You can record through ntg 1 mic going through ntg 1you can use it anywhere keep doing not just once keep praying to do it (For Computer) USB Plug in to computer the Sd Card read or interface Zoom H5 SD card reader

One smidge of remorse but not anymore. This is the pragmatism of a man who has been whined at by students many times! lol!

Hello... can you tell me what's the name of the extenal microphone he plugged in?

Is the SD slot so fragile that it’s liable to break? Also what’s the point of adding a mic into channel 3? For what purpose? Can you overdub or just add an extra mic? Why would you need 4 channels in this recorder?

..and one more question...Can you record in Stereo with the XLR mics? I am sometimes asked by an agent to send them an mp3 file rather than a wav. Since you can't record an mp3 in multi mode, is it safe to recored an mp3 in stereo with an XLR mic? I have a CAD E 100S. Thanks, agian.

can you use both mics and the onboard mics at the same time?

muy bien explicado

Pretty cool

good job explaining. thanks!

BOULDER CREEEEEEEK

Thanks.

Great vid, i can just say that you could mention that wheels 1 and 2 are for external mics loudness control, and since i havent use it before, i concluded that myself from your tut. (I know, its obvieous, but would be nice to make whole introduction for noobs).

i would have wanted to know more about the specific details for use

Hi, Thank you for this. Very helpful. However, on my new Zoom H5, both the 1 and 2 lights come on simultaneously, instead of one at a time, as in your video. Would you know why? Thanks.

Is this suitable for behind the wall recording

SO clear and informative!

Good product, but the Phantom Power +48V drains the batteries in less than 10 minutes. Also the Mini USB port is so outdated.

thank you for this

Good stuff! This helped me a lot, thanks! Erin

Shout out mr watson with the knowledge

help me with two problems with my H5: 1. I’m using a Shure m58 with standard cable to input 1/2 and Audio-Technica headphones connected to the phone-jack (upper lefthand side of the H5). I have to set the input-volume dials for 1/2 to nearly 7 just to hear myself through the headphones and I hear an annoying “hiss”. Why can’t the unit be more sensitive and I be able to hear from 1-6???? I thought for sure that it would be a beautiful sound that I could hear, crisp and without hiss and at a lower input-volume setting (1-6)? Am I connecting incorrectly? Please help me!

Good job, good tuitorial 😊

Great tutorial !

If using 4 microphones along with 4 quality headsets what splitter do you recommend for the headsets? In order words, will sound be affected depending on splitter! Thanks

Hello, Can lavalier microphone with 3.5mm jack be connected to Zoom h5? Thanks

Quick question about the scroll real if anybody can answer this. I have been looking into using the zoom H5 as a temporary/portable solution for getting into voiceover work. The issue that I face with a lot of portable recording devices, however, is that I have a visual impairment so sometimes all of these menus can be rather in accessible to me. My question is as you turn the scroll wheel does it click as you move through each option? And I’m not talking about an auditory click because I know it doesn’t do that. I’m talking about a tactile sensation. Also if you were to just spin the wheel a bunch of times to get directly to the top or the bottom of the menu does it stop at the ends of the menu or does it continue cycling through the menu backwards and or forwards over and over again as you continue to spin the wheel. I hope these questions make sense. Please let me know if I can provide any clarification. My thinking is that if the scroll wheel does have some kind of tactile clicking sensation I can memorize how many clicks it takes to get to the various menu options so that I can actually use the device in the ways discussed in this video. Thank you so much.

Haha, I was taking out the SD card while he just said not to take it out.

Cool how is the sound is it better than the H6

Great Video!

Odd that you instruct not to use the SD Card Slot. I have SD cards on a number of devices and have never had an issue with a slot. In a professional setting, multiple SD cards are how you stay organized. Also, in many cases, it's how you hand-off the recordings. You can also playback from the H5. You don't need a computer to do that.
