ZOOM H3-VR Handy Recorder

The ZOOM H3-VR audio recorder has four built-in mics placed in an Ambisonic array, making it easier than ever to capture full-sphere surround sound recordings.

Record in Ambisonic surround, stereo binaural, or normal stereo formats at up to 24-bit/96kHz. You can record straight to a computer by USB 2.0 or to an external SD card (up to 512GB).
