# Recorders

## Intro

We have multiple peices of equipment to help you record audio.

We have field recorders, small handheld microphones that record audio to a micro SD card. The Zoom H1N is smaller and more portable, giving a versatile recording solution meanwhile the Zoom H5 slightly larger, however accepts XLR input allow you to use any number of microphones.

The Rode Podcaster is a mixing table designed for podcasting, with both a midi connection allowing it to interface with a computer, and a micro SD card slot allowing for all your audio to be recorded onto a SD card without the need for a computer.
