Description
The Zoom H6 is a portable handheld recorder and USB audio interface with an interchangeable microphone system, shipping with both X/Y and mid-side capsules.
Inputs
Four main inputs (1-4) plus two additional (L, R) come from whichever capsule — X/Y, MS, Shotgun or Dual XLR/TRS Combo — is fitted. All four main inputs use combo connectors accepting XLR or 1/4″ balanced/unbalanced cable, handling mic or line-level signals from microphones, mixers or instruments, with phantom power (+12/24/48V) on all main inputs and physical gain knobs plus -20dB pads per channel.
Recording
Six-track simultaneous recording covers WAV up to 24-bit/96kHz (BWF-compliant for video sync) or MP3 in a range of bitrates, to SD/SDHC/SDXC cards up to 128GB. Built-in effects include low-cut filtering, compression and limiting, with auto-record, pre-record, backup-record, overdubbing and multitrack-to-stereo mixdown.
Handling
A large angled colour LCD stays visible on a camera or over the shoulder, with a built-in speaker for quick monophonic monitoring. Four AA batteries give over 20 hours of runtime. Fresh 4-packs of AA batteries can be added to the hire.
