RECORDERS CAPTURE AUDIO H3-VR CAPTURES REALITY Whether you’re a game developer, filmmaker or musician, virtual reality is the undeniable future of content creation. While 360-video is exploding in popularity, the ability to easily create 360-audio has lagged behind…until now. This product listing is for just the Zoom H3-VR. Please see the included tab for what this product comes with. Stand, camera etc, are not included. More OUTPUT VOLUME CONTROLS (A) The H3-VR’s line out volume control lets you adjust the output volume to a DSLR camera, additional headphone, etc. HEADPHONE JACK (B) A dedicated headphone jack allows for stereo binaural monitoring of your audio while recording. DYNAMIC DISPLAY (C) A directionally-responsive LCD screen provides a bright, clear display even when upside-down. TRANSPORT CONTROLS (D) The Home, Play/Pause, Forward, Reverse and Menu buttons are positioned for quick access. POWER/HOLD BUTTON (E) Lock your settings on the H3-VR while recording using the unit’s Hold function. PRECISE INTERNAL CLOCK (F) The H3-VR’s highly accurate internal clock with 0.5 ppm discrepancy reduces audio/visual drift. SLATE TONE/SOUND MARKER (G) Using the slate tone enables you to easily calibrate the H3-VR and camera audio levels. Use the sound marker to output a tone when recording starts to make syncing audio and video easy. BUILT-IN LIMITER (H) The H3-VR’s advanced onboard limiter offers distortion-free signal at high volumes. LOW CUT FILTER (I) The H3-VR’s adjustable low cut filter removes unwanted low-end frequencies. INPUT VOLUME GAIN (J) With the single-knob gain control, you can easily adjust the gains of all four mic capsules simultaneously for accurate, balanced 360-degree audio. POWER OPTIONS (K) Two AA batteries can power the H3-VR for over 11 hours. For longer shoots, the H3-VR can also use portable USB batteries or be plugged in via an AC adapter. 3.5MM LINE OUT (L) The H3-VR fits right in with your existing gear, featuring a dedicated line out for a wide range of 360 cameras or other external devices. LIGHTWEIGHT/PORTABLE DESIGN (M) Weighing less 5 ounces (120g), the H3-VR is the perfect Ambisonics recorder to take on the go. And since H3-VR records directly to an SD card, there’s no need for external gear.
