Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Does this include an SD card?
A: No — SD card not included. We recommend a Class 10 or UHS-I SD card (32GB+ for extended WAV recording).
Q: Can it be used as a USB microphone for streaming/DAW recording?
A: Yes — the H5 functions as a USB audio interface for multitrack recording.
Q: Are the XLR inputs phantom powered?
A: The H5 supplies plug-in power for electret mics; for +48V phantom, you’ll need an external supply or a different Zoom model.
Q: Any battery life estimate?
A: With fresh AA alkaline batteries, expect several hours of recording; rechargeable NiMH cells extend run time.
