Zoom H6 Recorder

Zoom H6 takes mobile recording to a new league. It's the world's first handheld recorder with 6 inputs, plus a feature list that makes it a smaller mobile recording studio. 4 of the 6 inputs on the Zoom H6 are in the form of XLR inputs on the side of the recorder. This audio recorder is ideal for those who want to record audio. They all have separate gain and pad function, as well as the option of 3 strengths of phantom power. The last two inputs come from the interchangeable audio module on top of the recorder. Here you have the option to mount several kinds of microphones, such as XY stereo microphone, M/S stereo microphone, shotgun microphone (optional) or a simple module with 2 additional XLR inputs (optional).

Zoom The H6 recorder can record in super quality - up to 96 kHz / 24 bit, directly to SD, SDHC or SDXC cards (card not included)

 

The feature list for the Zoom H6 also includes line out for connecting a camcorder, headphone jack and built-in speakers, built-in effects, chromatic tuner, and a USB port that effectively turns the H6 into a 6 in /2 out sound card.

The possibilities are endless, and with Zoom H6 + microphones it's possible to record an entire drum kit in album-worthy quality.
