The Most Flexible Recorder for Creators

Under the Hood

With two cardioid mics facing front and rear and a bi-directional mic facing side to side, the H2essential allows you to choose the perfect pick-up pattern for every recording.

Solo Musician

90º Stereo / Rear Mic

Record in 90º stereo with the rear microphones to capture a natural stereo image.

Podcasts

Mono / Front & Rear Mics

Mono pickup reduces environmental noise for better isolation. Using the front and rear microphones, you can capture two discrete tracks.

Sound Design

90º Stereo / Front + External Mic

Record audio for sound design with the front-facing stereo microphone to capture focused, detailed sounds. Add an external shotgun mic to add directional pickup with reduced background noise.

Accessibility

The H2essential is designed with Accessibility for the blind and visually impaired. Navigate the menu with audible descriptions through the built-in speaker or headphones. Creators can choose English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian or Chinese.*
