The Podcast App

The PODCAST App makes high-production quality simple. With dedicated Sound Pads, use the touch screen to trigger sound effects, music beds and more. Choose from 13 high quality sounds or load your own via an SD card.

The Podcast app accommodates up to 4 mics and two Sound Pad channels.

The Music App

The MUSIC App puts all the important controls at your fingertips: audio levels, faders, metering and more. With 10 inputs and 12 tracks, capturing a large group is easy. Mix, overdub, and enhance your recordings with EQ and compression. Connect to Zoom’s Guitar Lab via USB to access an endless assortment of amps and effects.

The Field App

The FIELD App is ideal for location sound, sound design, conferences, and more. It gives you instant access to large meters for every track, so you can make sure your recordings never clip. Adjust input type, lo-cut, compress, limiter, noise gate, and other key settings.

The Mic Capsule

The H8 comes with the Zoom XYH-6 microphone. This capsule provides two matched high-quality unidirectional mics, for capturing signal directly in front of the recorder. With the Zoom mic capsule system you can easily swap capsules to ensure you’re always using the right mic for the job.

Compatible with :

  • Zoom XYH-6
  • Zoom XYH-5
  • Zoom MSH-6
  • Zoom SGH-6
  • Zoom SSH-6
  • Zoom EXH-6

h8,zoom

Next Generation Capsule System

Zoom’s Capsule System 2.0 allows up to 4 channels of audio to be added to the H8's capsule connection, creating new ways to expand your recording capabilities.

• XAH-8

The XAH-8 capsule delivers pristine stereo recordings. Easily rotate the capsules from a tight XY pattern to a wide AB pattern to enhance the stereo image of your recordings.

• VRH-8

The VRH-8 is an Ambisonic mic capsule that utilizes four condenser microphones to deliver immersive 360 audio recordings. A built-in accelerometer helps ensure the capsule is always perfectly aligned, while the on-board Ambisonic decoder automatically handles the necessary conversions, saving you time in post-production.

• EXH-8

The EXH-8 capsule provides 4 additional XLR inputs, giving you a total of 10. Each additional input has a dedicated gain knob and pad switch. You can even use your favorite condenser microphones—just connect a power source to the EXH-8 capsule to supply phantom power.

This hub is really great!
I just got the unit, but so far this device is really living up to its name, very handy! It’s very sensitive and the peripherals seem to perform their intended uses very well. I’ve purchased Eneloop batteries and it lasts roughly 20 Hours with the use of the included smaller attachable microphones. The different modes are fairly basic but useful in the right situations, and the unit is compatible with a lot of different inputs which is fairly pleasing. The Bluetooth connection to control the unit works flawlessly and quickly. Updating the unit is fairly easy and quick. Build quality is sturdy, a mixture of metal and high grade plastics, and the screen is pleasant to use. It seems like this hub will last a very long time so I give ZOOM a high rating, well deserved!It would have been nice to have USB-C connection but micro USB is fine in any case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Equipo sorprendente!!! de muy buena calidad
Reviewed in Mexico on March 27, 2023
Es un equipo bastante bueno, de calidad en todos los aspectos, calidad de construcción, aunque sea de plástico, calidad de audio y las prestaciones que tiene son bastante profesionales con respecto a lo que se puede obtener en la actualidad.

Hay que destacar que Zoom es una marca que ha venido trayendo al mercado equipo semiprofesional, equipo bastante accesible y con prestaciones que sólo encontrabas en equipo profesional. Claro que actualmente todo mundo puede grabar audio de calidad en distintos dispositivos que son caseros, pero la calidad que se ha venido desarrollando en el ámbito semi-profesional ya se puede considerar como algo profesional, y que sólo la siguen incluyendo en sus equipos marcas como Zoom y Tascam sin quedarte sin dinero en el banco. La portabilidad es esencial cuando hablamos de grabar eventos en vivo y éste equipo y varios en el mercado lo hacen con bastante bien, algo que todavía no pruebo, pero lo haré con micrófonos de condensador XLR más adelante, pues ya probé el micrófono estéreo que trae y la verdad deja mucho qué desear (actualización 30mar23: el micro Estéreo funciona muy bien, ahora con la adición del filtro de espuma anti pop, aunque creo que le falta más ganancia), es mejor el micrófono que trae una grabadora de mano para voz de Sony (no le quito una estrella por esto, pero creo que debería traer un mejor micrófono).

Para el uso que le daré, que será voice-over y entrevistas con micrófonos de condensador o bien dinámicos, creo que es el equipo adecuado.

Me gustó mucho el tamaño y la distribución de las conexiones XLR, la pantalla aunque es pequeña, es bastante buena y funcional, responde muy bien.

En general un excelente equipo de audio.

It's giving a perfect sound quality for our Youtube Videos. The Podcast option is Awesome. I already researched about the product on Internet before ordering. And I am glad I did it. The next update for our company would be Premix 3. The only thing I am missing here on Amazon India is the Bluetooth adapter, to control the settings from our phone!

Overall Great Experience! It's a mini Beast!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loads of Functionality In a Small, Portable Package
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2020
This product is great. It does everything as advertised and sounds great. Once I spent some time exploring all of it's features I was not disappointed.
The Zoom H8 is versatile, and customizable. Its LCD screen is just large enough to display the software controls.
The only thing that needed improvement was the ability to slide the headphone volume slider control smoothly. But that was a small nusance. (Zoom addressed this concern in their latest firmware 2.0 update). The headphone slider is much more responsive now.
The Audio Interface can be complex to set up in Multi-Track Mix Mode. After I spent some time, as there is no documentation on this, I was able to think it thru by trial and error. All of the recording frequencies must match the Zoom H8 frequency setting. If your Zoom H8 is set to 44kHz, 48kHz, or 98kHz frequency. All three settings on the H8, computer sound card, and your Digital Audio Workstation software must match exactly or it will not function.
In your DAW Multi-track software you will see 12 inputs from the Zoom H8 available when set up correctly using the Zoom H8 ASIO setting. The top four listed are for the detachable microphone module on top.
Ignore the top four inputs listed unless you are using a detachable module as a source in your mix. The bottom 8 inputs you will see listed in your DAW correspond to the Zoom H8's 6 XLR inputs and 2 channel stereo mix.
(Many modular microphone and expansion options available from Zoom).
There is no documentation or video on setting up multi-track mode at this time. Perhaps I may produce a video to help explain this to new users, as myself. I would have found that useful to learning.
I contacted Zoom tech support and took them to school on this topic. I simply shared what I had learned. Tech support suggested I return the unit thinking it was maybe not compatible with my AMD processor. That was not the case. I am glad I persevered as I experimented.
There are 2 software licenses included: One for Steinberg's Cubase LE and one for WaveLab Cast. They are included in the purchase and can be installed for just one instance each. Cubase is a Digital Audio Workstation (single and multi-track recorder) and Wave Lab lets you polish your tracks and finalize your mix before uploading to various outlets and podcast. Link's to podcast outlets are included in the WaveLab Cast software. Guitar Lab software is also included and allows users to create customizable effects for electric stringed instruments. Guitar Lab offers several built in effects and ready made patches to make your instrument really sing.
I also own Adobe Audition, NCH MixPad, and Cubase 10.5 LE. The Multi-Track Interface Mode works perfectly fine on all thee of those DAW programs. They each recognize and perform flawlessly with the Zoom H8. I am running the included software on an (circa 2009) AMD PC running under a Windows 10 Pro OS with no problems at all.
Yes indeed! I would highly recommend this product purchase, especially if you own an AMD, Intel, Mac computer, or i-Pad tablet.
The H8 is worth every penny spent as it produces affordable, professional sound quality in a small portable package.
The advertised battery lifespan is more or less 15 hours in the field. At home I plug my H8 into a usb port on my computer. With USB it powers up and stays on without a drain on battery power.
