360° Virtual Reality Audio Recorder
Zoom - 'H3-VR'
Capture RealityIf you’re a game developer, film maker or musician, virtual reality is without a doubt the future of content creation. 360-video is continuously growing in popularity, but the ability to easily create 360-audio had fallen behind… until now.
The Zoom H3-VR virtual reality audio recorder is the perfect 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 your hands.
Previously, 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 throughout the whole process.

6-Axis Motion Sensor
Full ControlEach driver has its own dedicated amplifier. The 50W A/B amp is responsible for the X-ART tweeter, whilst the midwoofer is being powered by a 100W PWM amp.
The front panel has a power switch and a control for the volume that controls the volume setting separately from the on/off switch.
On the back panel you’ll find extra controls: gain for the high frequencies (± 4dB) and two shelf filters for high and low frequencies.
Upgrade Your Game Experience
A New LevelThe slam of dungeon doors, growl of monsters or howl of the wind can make or break a player’s fantasy.
With the ability to record high-quality in-game audio, you can take your player’s experience to the next level.

Full 360° ExperienceMonitor your audio live in stereo binaural or use the H3-VR’s onboard Ambisonics Decoding to replicate your recorded 360-experience during playback.
Streaming & More
Perfect Multi-Purpose RecordingIdeal 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.
Audio For Every Reality
Ambisonics Audio for VRThe H3-VR’s 4-capsule Ambisonic mic records precise 360-degree VR audio recordings up to 24 bit/96 kHz. And without needing to connect to a computer, the onboard decoder lets you to export Ambisonics B-format files directly.
Binaural 3D StereoThe H3-VR also records stereo binaural WAV files up to 24 bit/48 kHz. Stereo binaural provides a hyper-realistic spatial recording that upgrades 2D productions with 3D audio.
5.1ch Surround for VideoFree 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.
360 Live StreamingThe H3-VR also allows you to live stream events in 360 degrees so that wherever your fans are, they’ll be able to feel like they're in the room.
Standard StereoThe H3-VR even offers standard stereo recording for recordings that will be played out of speakers rather than headphones.
