In addition, the H1n has an overdub function that can be used to insert audio passages into existing recordings.

There’s also provision for a wall-wart power supply, which is handy, but which will presumably be less often used since it undermines the very nature of the unit’s portability in most circumstances. In the long run, the PCM-A10’s internal battery and data storage will save you some hard-earned money.While not as robust as its older brethren, the plastic casing of the H1 is by no means flimsy, and indeed feels quite substantial in the hand. This gave us the ability to plug in some headphones and monitor the sound in real time while we were recording.

The PCM-A10’s microphones are adjustable for fine-tuning your audio recording whereas the Zoom H1n’s microphones are non-adjustable. One-touch button controls make it simple to record songs, audio-for-film, lectures, podcasting, and more.The remarkable depth and clarity of sound achieved by the stereo X/Y mic design brings additional realism and depth to HD video. We also took the device outside when there was a moderate amount of wind, and our recordings were dominated by wind noise.

There's also a built-in speaker on the back panel for fast monophonic monitoring of the recorded signal without the need to make any connections.Over the past thirty years, the company has built a reputation for producing innovative yet affordable products based on original microchip designs. bit audio recording is better than CD quality, meaning you get clearer audio and the ability to hear the finer details in the sound. An internal limiter enables the distortion-free recording of signals with up to 120dB SPL, and a switchable low-cut attenuates annoying pop and wind noises. I find the on/off switch weird - it is a slide that you have to hold for a second or two until the machine boots up/ powers down.
