    From the manufacturer

    H3-Vr

    THE ZOOM H3-VR

    VR AUDIO, YOU'VE ARRIVED.

    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.

    Features

    • 4 built-in mics arranged in an Ambisonic array
    • Full-sphere surround sound recording
    • Onboard Ambisonics A to B decoding
    • Three recording modes: Ambisonics, Stereo Binaural or Standard Stereo
    • Stereo binaural monitoring of Ambisonics signal
    • Auto Mic Position Detection using 6-axis gyroscope (upfront, endfire, upside-down, endfire inverted)
    • Wireless iOS remote control available through the BTA-1 Bluetooth adapter
    • Onboard Ambisonics playback with audio rotation

    One-Stop VR Audio

    The Zoom H3-VR virtual reality audio recorder is the complete solution for capturing and processing spatial audio for VR, AR and mixed-reality content. With a built-in Ambisonic mic, recorder and decoder, the H3-VR puts 360-audio in the palm of your hand.

    vr

    Go from A to B

    In the past, capturing VR audio required a dedicated Ambisonic mic, a separate recorder and a computer for encoding the audio from raw Ambisonics A format to VR-ready Ambisonics B format. Now, with the H3-VR, all of the encoding and decoding is done on board, saving time, money and effort at every step.

    vr

    Fits Anywhere. Captures Everything.

    The H3-VR’s compact, conical design captures audio from multiple angles without getting in the way of the camera or the action.

    vr

    6-Axis Motion Sensor

    Auto Mic Position and Level Detection make placing the H3-VR simple. Whether positioned upright, upside down, endfire or endfire inverted, the H3-VR automatically calibrates so your audio and video are already aligned for post.

    vr

    Audio For Every Reality

    Ambisonics Audio for VR

    The H3-VR’s 4-capsule Ambisonic mic captures precise 360-degree VR audio recordings up to 24 bit/96 kHz. And with the onboard decoder allows you to export Ambisonics B-format files directly.

    Binaural 3D Stereo The H3-VR also records stereo binaural WAV files up to 24 bit/48 kHz. Stereo binaural provides a hyper-realistic spatial recording that enhances 2D productions with 3D audio.

    Standard Stereo The H3-VR even offers standard stereo recording for recordings that will be played out of speakers rather than headphones.

    5.1ch Surround for Video

    Free to download, ZOOM Ambisonics Player software can easily convert Ambisonics audio to a 5.1ch surround file that is pre-aligned to the proper speakers, and is exported to your video or audio editor for syncing with standard video.

    Live Streaming
 360 The H3-VR also enables you to live stream events in 360 degrees so that wherever your fans are, they’ll have access to the best seats in the house.

    Monitoring & Playback

    Monitor your audio live in stereo binaural or use the H3-VR’s onboard Ambisonics Decoding to simulate your recorded 360-experience during playback.

    Streaming and More

    Perfect for live streaming, video conferencing, direct recording and more, the H3-VR’s audio interface mode turns it into a USB 360 mic for your computer or stereo mic for your iOS device.

    Out of the Shot But in Control

    Staying out of the shot can be tricky when recording a 360-degree video, which is why the H3 Control App lets you remotely access transport controls, level settings, and metadata notes right from your iOS device.*

    *Optional BTA-1 adapter required

    360º Post-Production Made Easy

    The H3-VR’s companion ZOOM Ambisonics Player software takes the work out of post-production by easily converting your Ambisonics files to Stereo, Binaural, 5.1ch surround and more. Play, trim, re-orientate and export your audio files in minutes.
