I have recently purchased a Zoom H1n and I find your videos extremely detailed and useful for a novice to audio like me. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Thanks, Julian. Excellent discussion. I never considered correcting the EQ, but after hearing your two contrasting recordings, I can hear the affect of the correction. Do you feel that the H1n is an adequate replacement for a quality microphone?

@JulianKrause

4 жыл бұрын

Hey, I think the H1n is great for starting out and the mics are very usable but I still think proper external microphones can give you much higher quality audio.

Will You do similar measurments for newly released h1essential?

The package I bought had Kodak card and headphones with the Zoom. The Kodak card needed to be formatted every time the Zoom was switched on, which also wiped all recordings. Not convenient to back up to another drive before switching off. I bought a Scan Disc card which works fine. Apart from that, no problems with the Zoom. If you are prepared to accept that a jewel can be made from plastic, that's the H1n.

I just purchased the Zoom H1n and it came with Steinberg WaveLab LE 10 software download. It took almost an hour to install but the program looks quite impressive. Is that same the software you're using on your PC in this demo by any chance? Just curious 🤔

I would be interested to see what the correction for the 7K dip is for both direct and diffuse sounds as well if you get the chance. May be redundant but may be noticeable still?

Great video. I really like your scientific approach to sounds. I heard that you explained how you measured the frequency response of H1N but it was too short. Could you elaborate on the process please? Or another video?

@JulianKrause

5 жыл бұрын

Sure, first thing I did is I put a measurement microphone with a flat frequency response infront of a speaker. Then I ran a frequency sweep through the speaker and measured the speakers frequency response. I used the free software room eq wizard (REW) for that. Then I did equalize the frequency response of the speaker to be perfectly flat. Now I knew that at the position of the measurement microphone the frequency response is flat. After that I placed the H1n in the exact position where the mesurement mic was placed. I then measured the frequency response with the H1n. Any deviation from a flat response is now due to the H1ns frequency response. I further used a technique called gating. When you gate a measurement you only look at the impulse response for a very short time window. In this small time frame the reflections in my room have not yet had a chance to bounce back into the measured microphone. This eliminates the rooms reflections and makes it possible to get accurate response measurements even if I'm not in an anechoic chamber. I will make a video detailed about this process, but it might take a while. Glad you enjoy my videos!

Hey, sadly I don't have the means of measuring accurately in the low frequency area. Typically, directional microphones (pressure gradient mics) start to slowly roll off below 100 Hz, that's simply a limitation of this transducer type.

How is the frequency response of the line in/out, bypassing the mics? I measured the original H1 and was disappointed that there was a lowered bass response of a dB or 2, if I recall correctly, and this suggests it would not serve as a transparent line level audio signal recorder.

Update: B and H, a large retailer in NYC, had a good price on the H1n so I just bought one. Measuring it using the Line in and out with my MOTU 4 USB interface used as an analyzer (with RMAA, RightMark Audio Analyzer, software) it exhibits the same problem: Despite being sure the Low Cut is disengaged there is a reduced output in the low bass: -1dB at 70Hz, -2dB at 50Hz, -4.5dB at 30Hz.

Some reviews claim the h1n is quieter... all in the head perhaps.

Hi Julian, you’re one of my go-to sources for random audio information so I’m hoping you might share some knowledge. I would love to understand your method of recording a frequency response - whether it’s a mic, EQ, recorder, etc. - to be able to visualize the spectrum. I’m assuming you use a speaker capable of recreating 20hz - 20khz and play an audio track that covers the full 20-20,000 at a constant rate of change (or play the track directly into an interface or mixer and skip the speaker aspect). What is unclear to me is the details of how you record and review the data - levels, software, etc. I don’t need to do this for my mics and equipment, but it would bring me a lot of happiness to just know that I know the information and potentially have the knowledge to make changes to improve my recordings. Would you consider sharing your secrets or pointing me in a good direction to learn more?

Hi Julian, danke für deine fundierten, informativen Videos - Hut ab dafür! Und weil ich von deiner Expertise überzeugt bin, möchte ich mich mit einer unbeantworteten Frage an dich wenden. Ich möchte für Videos den Sound meines Motorrads während des Fahrens extern onboard aufnehmen. Auf KZread habe ich viele Leute gesehen, die das mehr oder weniger erfolgreich mit dem Zoom h1n machen. Es gibt auch einzelne Videos von Leuten, die dasselbe mit dem h2n oder auch mit größeren Rekordern tun. Mir kommt es vor, als sei der Sound durch bspw. das h4n pro klarer, weniger übersteuert und das Mikrofon weniger windanfällig. Aber anhand von KZread videos, die eine Komprimierung durchlaufen und an meinen alten Pc Lautsrechern wiedergegeben werden, ist ein Vergleich natürlich schwierig. Meine Frage ist letztendlich: welcher Rekorder ist mit seinen internen Mikros für diese Anwendung (Motorsound on board, Mikrofon windgeschützt eingepackt) geeignet? Das h1n bietet den Vorteil, dass es sehr klein und mobil ist, aber ist es vielleicht zu empfindlich für relativ laute Pegel? Würde ein größerer Rekorder einen erheblichen Mehrwert in der Soundqualität bringen, dann wäre mir es das Extragewicht allerdings absolut wert. Ich hoffe du kannst mir einen Tipp geben. Keep up the good work.

@JulianKrause

Hey, danke für den netten Kommentar! Ich muss zugeben, ich habe noch keine Motorradgeräusche mit dem H1n aufgenommen. Ich hätte aufgrund des Limiters aber eher zum H1n tendiert, da man so aktiv Übersteuerung vermeiden kann. Das Schwierigste ist es den Recorder windfest einzupacken und trotzdem noch guten Ton aufzunehmen. In der Hinsicht sollten aber H1n und H4n ziemlich gleich sein. Habe schon häufiger gesehen, dass Motorradfahrer den Recorder in den Rucksack gesteckt haben um Windgeräusche zu vermeiden.

Hallo Julian, ich habe soeben ein Deity D3 Pro mic bekommen. Leider kann ich die frequency response kurve auf der herstellerseite nicht gut deuten, da sie recht flach ist. Könntest du mir einen Blick drauf werfen und sagen wie du sie im EQ für stimme korrigieren würdest? die vom rode vmp+ übersteigt 0db bei 4000Hz, die des Deity ist immer sehr sehr tief um -25db. Vielen Dank, Valentin

@JulianKrause

5 жыл бұрын

Hey Valentin, eine flacher Frequenzgang ist eine gute Sache, weil dann alle Frequenzen mit der gleichen Intensität vom Mikrofon wahrgenommen werden. Das führt zu einem natürlichen Klang. Genau das versuche ich auch immer mit einem EQ zu erreichen. Das Deity D3 Pro hat laut Hersteller bereits einen ordentlich flachen Frequenzgang und scheint auch ordentlich zu klingen. Ich würde beim Deity D3 Pro daher nicht versuchen noch irgendwas am Frequenzgang zu ändern. Das passt alles soweit! Übrigens nicht wundern, dass die Y-Achse beim Rode anders beschriftet ist als beim Deity. Das sind unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten die Amplitude anzugeben. Macht aber in diesem Fall keinen wirklichen Unterschied. Viel Spaß mit deinem Deity D3 Pro!

​@@theothervalentin Ja genau, bei 3.5k und 8k könnte man die Peaks etwas herunterziehen. Bei 3.5k so -3dB und bei 8k ca. -5dB. Wenn man dem Frequenzgang vertrauen kann, wird das Mikrofon allerdings immer noch recht höhenbetont klingen. Dem kann man dann eigentlich nur noch entgegenwirken, indem man den Bassbereich etwas anhebt. Auch wenn das dann technisch zu einem linearen Frequenzgang führt, muss man beim Anheben von tiefen Frequenzen immer aufpassen. Da Wind beispielsweise sehr starke tieffrequente Signale erzeugen kann, ist es nicht immer schlau die dann noch weiter zu verstärken. Du könntest trotzdem mal einen Filter EQ bei 100 Hz setzten, ein sehr niedriges Q nehmen damit der Filter sehr breit ist und dann so ca. 3dB verstärken.

Die Frequenzgänge, die von den Herstellern publiziert werden, sind häufig stark geglättet und man kann da nicht immer alles rauslesen. Besser ist es natürlich den echten Frequenzgang zu messen, aber dann wird das schnell kompliziert.
