Product Description
The Zoom H3-VR virtual reality audio recorder is the complete solution for cpturing and processing spatial audio for VR, AR and mixed-reality content. With a built-in Ambisonic mic, recorder and decoder, the H3-VR is an all-in-one 360-audio solution.

From the manufacturer
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Streaming and MorePerfect 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. |

360º Post-Production Made EasyThe 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. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The problem is it is tiny and shaped like a space capsule. This may be to seem futuristic but it means it is difficult to hold, adjust settings and view the tiny display.
To make matters worse if you add their WSU-1 to help block wind noise you struggle to pull the hair out of the way to view the tiny face!
Because of this it is very awkward and a chore to hold and use.
Finally it also seems fragile with cheap plastic construction so I am not sure how reliable it will be!
Yeah you can't press record remotely without an iPhone! WHAT?! That's totally wack. No wired remote adapter for the BT slot. No control over USB on PC. Nothing. Can you emulate an ipod on pc? I don't want to set up any account with Apple! I don't know if I you want a BT antenna on an ambisonic microphone... these things HEAR rf!
No remote means you edit file.. every single time you must cut the start and finish off yourself. You'll never get a clean start or finish on the SD card without an apple device...

Los algoritmos del programa de Zoom no son los mejores pero son bastante decentes para iniciar. Si necesitas algo mejor, compra el plugin de waves o programa el tuyo en MATLAB.
Excelente relacion calidad-precio.
