Excellent video. I recently bought a Boya BY-M1 DM mic, which is basically 2 lav mics attached by a cable. You that's one more idea for having 2 mics plugged in to the same Zoom H1N. Thank you very much for your time and effort.
Hey man, just stumbled across this video but want to let you know that I appreciate how well you answer your commenters questions down here! Well done!
This was AWESOME!! thank you..quick question. If i wanted to use two at the same time, say one mic for the interviewer and one for the interviewee would the pick each other? or do you think it would still sound nice
Superb video mate - Can you tell me if both mics are recording in separate tracks in the Zoom H1, so that I can edit them separately in for example Sony Vegas? Cheers.
+LeboView can you provide a link or the specific name of a cable that can separate two lapel mics to L and R inputs? I'm having trouble distinguishing one that can do that with the one you used in the video. (audio noob here, sorry)
hi, thanks for the video! just got one of these and wanted to have 2 lavalier mics going at once. having looked at adapters all the manufacturers say I can't do this. have I got something wrong? what specific features does the adapter require? many thanks
This is exactly what I've been trying to figure out. Great video! Unfortunately, I am still having trouble making up my mind. With the price of and aftermarket H4N and pair of XLR lav mics running only about $50 more than the H1 with decent 3.5 lav mics and a splitter, would it be silly to not spend the extra $50 if I'm planning on doing interviews? My main concern is audio output quality when interviewing someone with a softer voice than mine.
I have really been happy with the H1. I have not regretted not buying the h4n.. as far as one voice being louder that the other, you can correct some of that with mic placement but other than that you would have to boost the quieter voice up in post production.. good luck!!
Very cool, thanks for breaking this down. One question -- is the external mic input stereo? If so, it would be possible to use a splitter that puts one mono mic on each "talent" and record 2 separate tracks, permitting you to adjust the relative audio levels after the fact...right? (If the different speaking volumes you describe turn out to be problematic.) Just curious if this variant would work.
Yes, you could left channel one and right channel the other then split the tracks adjust the volume then add them both channels back together as mono left and right.. I would probably just buy another H1 though it's easier.. Or a multiple track Zoom (I think H4N)?
This is a great review. The only issue I'm having is my zoo is not recognizing my lapel mic. The moment I plug it into it say line in and then no sound
Thank you for the helpful instructions. Is there a way to record two independent tracks with the H1? One track with the onboard mics and a 2nd track with an external mic?
I wonder if you are not concerned about any sound bleed if the talents are sitting across from each other? Wouldn’t each lavalier microphone pick up the sound from the other talent in addition to their own sound? Hosa YMM-261
I guess it's possible after all to have a line connected to a microphone on my person and another line connected to a Rode Video Micro to a camera with no audio mic jack. Was originally planning to purchase two Zoom H1 until I saw this video.
The Y cable that you have linked is for headphone and microphone not microphone , microphone. What I'm saying is that if I plug in 2 lavs only one would work because the other end of the Y adapter is for audio output not input. Please correct me on this if you're sure.
Would this work if you were using a phone as your recording device, and plug the splitter directly into the headphone jack? Use a voice recording app. If so, it would only cost $15 to record audio from two people. I am wanting to start a podcast, with next to no budget, and I wonder if this would be a way to make it happen?
The only downfall I can think of it that if you use two mics for say an interview, you can't separate them in post? So if one person talking is louder than the other, so for that I'd definitely use two H1s. Very good video and good advice. Thank you :)
Before I bought another H1 Though I did by a y-splitter that had line output control using rotary thumbwheels.... It worked fine but I wanted more portability, so I bough the 2nd one..
If you use two H1's and record two people delivering a training session, how do you merge the two files into one file of the whole training session? Thanks!
in post ...Basically I add the two separate tracks to the video during editing... get editing software like power director 16 that allows for one button synchronizing
Hey, I have two RØDELink Filmmaker Kit, so it is wireless mic, i want better sound because i still hear noise, do you think result will be same if i use zoom H1? or i need higher version? If H1 can do that then no reason to buy a better one! What you think? Thanks for sharing
My noise generated with the Rode Filmaker kit is really low..but I did have to play with cable length(longer input from rx to cam for it to be as low as it is...Im not sure why the coiled cable that came with he filmaker kit seemed to be noiser with my sony cams..even if I turned off the GPS AND WIFI, BLUETOOTH SETTING... BUT, The H1 is always quieter...so If i can be tethered to it I use it...the H1 has never dissapointed...ever..
Hey I'm doing Vlogs and I was wondering if I can use the ZOOM h1under my Tshirt too? So that I plug in an external Microfon and put it over or even better under my T-Shirt? What do you think? cheers Sören
Depends. You have to experiment with the specific mics you are using and placement of the mic on the persons speaking.. Also, any 3.5mm mic will work or any combination of different 3.5mm mics
I actually thought about doing this but does the splitter thing lessen or change the quality of the audio in any way? I want my audio to be the BEST as possible!
Question: I saw that the mic input on the Zoom was stereo. www.talkbass.com/threads/zoom-handy-h1-mono-or-stereo-input.701667/ What would keep you from getting a y adapter that is 2 mono female going to one stereo male.
You could make a left and right channel that way but the audio captured would be left channel one mic right channel the other mic....thats annoying to listen to for conversation..
the stereo mic is built into the end(oval loop) Those two crooked chrome cylinders that point in different directions(kinda make an "V"), those are the built in mics..

Thank you very much for your time and effort.
The H1 is a very versatile microphone. Im didn't know you could do this.Thanks for posting this.....Take care, Bluefin.
Hey man, just stumbled across this video but want to let you know that I appreciate how well you answer your commenters questions down here! Well done!
thank you sir!!!
Excellent coverage of the topic of using two mics with Zoom H1
Thanks, glad you liked it. 😁
Thanks man!!! You just answered a question that i have been searching for the answer to for weeks. Also perfect presentation and mics sound fantastic.
Your welcome. Glad it worked out for you.
Great video!! Do you know if it's possible to plug in a mic and also record ambient noise simultaneously?
is it possible to use BOTH the internal mic on the H1 and an external mic thru the input recording at the same time?
Sorry to say..no
This was AWESOME!! thank you..quick question. If i wanted to use two at the same time, say one mic for the interviewer and one for the interviewee would the pick each other? or do you think it would still sound nice
I would do one H1 with a splitter but in a moving interview then 2 and have both parties wear lapel mics..
Superb video mate - Can you tell me if both mics are recording in separate tracks in the Zoom H1, so that I can edit them separately in for example Sony Vegas? Cheers.
+AdoredTV sorry same channel, But if you shop for a stereo y splitter you could do a left and right input as the H1 obviously records in stereo
+LeboView Cheers.
+LeboView can you provide a link or the specific name of a cable that can separate two lapel mics to L and R inputs? I'm having trouble distinguishing one that can do that with the one you used in the video. (audio noob here, sorry)
Rushed media it's in the description of the video

Just buy the Y adapter cable that is linked in the description and plug your 2 mics into it..you'll be all set!!

Awesome video and tips! Greetings from Japan!
Thanks for watching!!!
This is a great review. The only issue I'm having is my zoo is not recognizing my lapel mic. The moment I plug it into it say line in and then no sound
Might be a different ring set up Look up videos talking about trs vs TRRS 3.5 mm input
Thank you very much. Such a simple solution and just the solution I was looking for!
😁
Y adapter is stereo to dual mono? so you can separate levels in post (L/R)
Thank you for the helpful instructions. Is there a way to record two independent tracks with the H1? One track with the onboard mics and a 2nd track with an external mic?
Thanks for watching... Sorry, but No, once the H1 recognizes it has a mic plugged into it he onbard mics become muted
LeboView is there a digital recorder that CAN do that?
I wonder if you are not concerned about any sound bleed if the talents are sitting across from each other? Wouldn’t each lavalier microphone pick up the sound from the other talent in addition to their own sound? Hosa YMM-261
Input levels adjusted accordingly, so, no feedback
Jackie & Sascha - The New York City Elopement Team I was think that
@@LeboView it's not better to buy Hosa YMM-261 ? I did it ;)
the best review ever i watched.... thanks man!
Thanks for the kind words!
I guess it's possible after all to have a line connected to a microphone on my person and another line connected to a Rode Video Micro to a camera with no audio mic jack. Was originally planning to purchase two Zoom H1 until I saw this video.

I used 2 lavs in video using same y adapter
I was looking for this set of solutions man, thanks a lot! 😊 😊 😊

You'll have to check with your phone Mfg..
Thanks for the review!
can we use 3 at the same time? One original splitter, then, from each split end, use another splitter for a total of 4 mics altogether... Would
I have tried it and although it gets a little noisier, yes...
Was just going to leave the same comment! Thank you!
Finally ordered one today. Do you know if you can use a powered lav mic?
You van, But it wouldnt sound as good..You Know, amplifying and amplified sound
The only downfall I can think of it that if you use two mics for say an interview, you can't separate them in post? So if one person talking is louder than the other, so for that I'd definitely use two H1s. Very good video and good advice. Thank you :)
I agree.. Thats why I bought a white H1 12 months later.. These things are awesome..
Before I bought another H1 Though I did by a y-splitter that had line output control using rotary thumbwheels.... It worked fine but I wanted more portability, so I bough the 2nd one..
They sure are!
There is also the solution of two lapel mics with a single 3.5 jack.
If you use two H1's and record two people delivering a training session, how do you merge the two files into one file of the whole training session? Thanks!
in post ...Basically I add the two separate tracks to the video during editing... get editing software like power director 16 that allows for one button synchronizing
Question: Is it possible to combine the onboard mics with 1 external mic, i.e. record with 3 mics simultaneously?
no, it cuts off the onboard mic
@@LeboView Ok, thanks.
are they in separate channels or they both go to one channel?
1 CHANNEL stereo ... Zoom h4n for 4 channel
Is there a way to plug 4 mics in to the Zoom H1N?
Specifically, what I am looking for is the best way to record 4 people on the Zoom H1N if you have any tips!
@@NewSkitsOnTheBlock the best way would be to use an audio mixer with 4 channels
And then take an output from the mixer to the Zoom H1. However, all 4 channels will be mixed in one stereo channel.
Hey,
I have two RØDELink Filmmaker Kit, so it is wireless mic, i want better sound because i still hear noise, do you think result will be same if i use zoom H1? or i need higher version?
If H1 can do that then no reason to buy a better one!
What you think?

Thanks for answer.
Now i ordered one h1, so very excited.
Hey I'm doing Vlogs and I was wondering if I can use the ZOOM h1under my
Tshirt too? So that I plug in an external Microfon and put it over or
even better under my T-Shirt? What do you think? cheers Sören
Yes.. absolutely... Cheapest way to have a lavalier/lapel mic for vlogs.. You just have to sync the audio in post production..
thanks!!
It's so usefull ! Thanks a lot :)
Sure thing..Thanks for watching!!
Should we increase the Zoom h1 input level up with two mics? Does it works with two Rode shotgun mics?
Depends. You have to experiment with the specific mics you are using and placement of the mic on the persons speaking.. Also, any 3.5mm mic will work or any combination of different 3.5mm mics
Super helpful! Thank you!
nice sir
☑😁
Good job 👏🏼 thanks
Excellent video thanks.

I actually thought about doing this but does the splitter thing lessen or change the quality of the audio in any way? I want my audio to be the BEST as possible!
I have no degradation at all when doing this.. Even when using inexpensive NEEWER lavalier mics..
Awesome, thanks for the info! Now to buy all the stuff...
can I use two lavaliere mic with 3.5mm splitter jack in zoom H1
+Gaurav Rathor yes
I need help whats the best cheapest lav mic for Zoom H1 I would do prank videos
WWE Nation Description has the link to some great cheap lav microphones..
Great Job!
Thank You!!

Thank you so much
Thank you Sir!
👍😁
Thanks man!
👍😀
That's nice, thank you
Thanks for watching!!!
how to create left and right hearing effect?
Zoom H1 is a stereo digital recorder..
LeboView is there an inbuild mic in this because I have seen some people using this as mic thats why..thank you☺️
the stereo mic is built into the end(oval loop) Those two crooked chrome cylinders that point in different directions(kinda make an "V"), those are the built in mics..
what about zoom h 1 battery timing?
Battery last a really long time well over 8 hours recording MP3 Probably closer to 10 hours
one full wedding :)
thanks!
👍😁
Bro you’re the fuckin man
thanks
👍😁
Great video but tell me you didn't just call your moto phone your telephone
maybe lol
