The Zoom H5 is a fantastic, affordable portable recorder, especially for location sound recordists, podcasters, or musicians needing field recording capabilities. Its capsule system gives it a lot of flexibility, and the 4-track recording is a real boon for capturing layered sounds. It’s a great step up from basic recorders without breaking the bank.
