TheZoom H8 recorder adapts to your needs thanks to its three dedicated functions for music, field capture or podcasting. With its 8 available channels and its interchangeable microphone system, this model will meet your needs every time!

Touchscreen interface, 3 modes available

From the Zoom H8's touch screen, you can select one of the three modes available to meet your needs: podcast, music or field. In podcast mode, take advantage of the Sound Pads to customise your broadcasts by finding pre-installed sounds or adding your own from an SD card.

Additional (optional) microphones are available to further enhance the potential of your recorder. Easily enhance your recordings with the built-in effects. Features include compression, EQ and limiting controls, as well as a low-cut filter and tuner mode.
