Zoom H3-VR

Music Recording Applications in Stereo or 3D Sound
Accurately capture rehearsals, ensembles, and solo performances in recording studios and concert halls; you can spice up your stereo recordings with the binaural mode that tracks at up to 24-bit / 48 kHz to enhance 2D productions with spatially accurate imaging compatible with standard headphones
Sound for Film
Record dynamic foley, sound effects, and ambience for film, television, and video game projects for Dolby Atmost Surround Sound as well as 5.1 Surround processing with the included Mac/PC software
Sound for VR
Record true 360° Ambisonic audio for immersive VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality) in four channels at up to 24-bit / 96 kHz resolution for detailed 360° audio
Live Streaming Audio
USB 2.0 audio interface mode supports live streaming and recording via USB Micro-B connection
Versatile Playback, Decode, and Export Functions
On-board decoder automatically converts the raw Ambisonics A audio to VR-ready Ambisonics B audio, so it can easily be paired with your 360-video
Export Ambisonics recordings as 5.1 surround files via free Zoom Ambisonics Player software for Mac and Windows
6-axis motion sensor provides automatic detection of mic position, enabling the audio and video orientations to stay aligned from scene to scene regardless of mic placement
Integrated Ambisonics playback allows you to rotate the H3-VR to simulate spatial audio while listening
Supports real-time headphone monitoring in stereo binaural or simulated 360° mode
Separate 3.5mm headphone and line outputs with independent volume adjustment allow simultaneous connection to your headphones and camera
Easy Controls
On-board LCD screen displays direction of microphone orientation to suit the position of the H3-VR
Straightforward buttons include home, play/pause, forward, back, and menu
Hold function locks the H3-VR's settings while recording

H3 Control App allows remote access to transport controls, levels, and metadata notes via your iOS device and optional Zoom BTA-1 Bluetooth adapter allowing you to control the device in real time without being in the shot, an important consideration for VR audio capture
Included mounting bracket allows you to mount the H3-VR to your VR camera
Precise Audio Quality
Sample rate stability is achieved through the use of an accurate internal clock (only 0.5 ppm variance)
Built-in limiter ensures clean recordings by inhibiting clipping
Control low frequencies and attenuate rumble with the adjustable high-pass filter
