Zoom H3-VR 360 Degree Virtual Reality Digital Audio Recorder

Capture immersive 360-degree spatial audio for your VR, AR, and mixed reality projects with the Zoom H3-VR. This all-in-one Ambisonics recorder combines a four-capsule microphone array with intelligent on-board processing, letting you record professional-quality surround sound without the need for external software or post-production hassles.

The H3-VR records four channels of full-sphere audio at up to 24-bit/96 kHz resolution. Its integrated Ambisonics A to B conversion happens automatically, so your recordings are immediately ready to pair with 360-degree video content. You can also switch between Ambisonics, binaural stereo, and standard stereo modes depending on your creative needs.

Key features that set it apart:

• Built-in 6-axis motion sensors automatically detect mic orientation and align audio with your video, no manual calibration needed
• Dual 3.5mm outputs with independent volume controls for simultaneous headphone monitoring and line-out to camera or external gear
• Onboard Ambisonics playback lets you rotate the recorder to simulate spatial audio while listening
• Operates standalone (SD card recording with AA batteries or USB power bank) or streams directly to your computer
• Compact, lightweight design under 120g with camera-mounting bracket and tripod thread
• Live streaming and video conferencing support, plus optional wireless iOS remote control

The intuitive interface includes a back-lit LCD screen, single-button gain adjustment for all four capsules, built-in limiter to prevent distortion, and low-cut filter for noise removal. A slate tone and sound marker make syncing audio to video straightforward. This is the ideal tool for game developers, filmmakers, musicians, and content creators who need to add genuine depth and immersion to their sound.
