Are the Zoom devices good enough, (even the H1n) to get good audio quality? Or only the latter versions like H5, H6?
The H1n is newer than the H5/H6, maybe you are thinking of the original and older H1?
btw, if you're using external mics then the Zoom F4/F8/F8n are going to be waaaaaaaaaaay better than anything else Zoom ever made! They're in a totally different league.
