Zoom H3-VR Virtual Reality Audio Recorder

RECORDERS CAPTURE AUDIO, H3-VR CAPTURES 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 without ever connecting to a computer, 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
