Mostly referred to as the X/Y Capsule, I typically keep this one on the Zoom when I’m doing field recording where I choose to interview a person one on one. The H6 comes complete with a stereo capsule complete with gain control to make sure there’s no pitchy audio when doing a two person interview. But as an aspiring podcaster who choses NOT to spend a host of money to record audio. So if you had plans of recording multitrack to an external SD card and a USB simultaneously this would not be the way to go. Being able to function with both does have it’s trade offs, due to the fact that you cannot record directly to the H6 while using as an audio interface for your computer which I found out the hard way. With the Zoom H6, you have SIX multitrack channels which are ideal for someone who plans on recording a panel directly from the Zoom H6, but even better if you plan on using it as an audio interface as the H6 can do both. (iPad operation supported in stereo mode only)ĪC adapter: AD-17 (DC5V/1A/USB-type) (optional)īattery life (with alkaline battery, continuous recording) Over 20 hours Maximum simultaneous recording tracks: 8 (L/R + INPUT 1 to 4 + L/R backup) Rated Output Level: -10 dBu when output load impedance is 10k ? or more MicEquivalent Input Noise (EIN): -120 dBu or less (Phantom power can be turned on/off independently for Inputs 1 – 4) Sensitivity: –39 dB, 1 kHz at 1 Pa (each mic unit) Max sound pressure input: 120 dB SPL (unidirectional) Sensitivity: -37 dB, 1 kHz at 1 Pa (unidirectional)
Mic types: Unidirectional and bi-directional Before I get into the nitty-gritty details about the Zoom H6, here are some specs for the product: Digital recording with the H6 is as flexible as you can get being recording with local guests, or even using the H6 as an audio interface which is what I do to record my podcast weekly. What we’ve done is purchased a couple of XLR microphones, a bundle of XLR cables from Amazon, and the rest was history. For reference, the podcast that I run has two co-hosts and we record weekly. I’ve been using it over the past month, and aside from my audio quality improving, the simplicity of the recording has vastly improved my desire to record. In the podcasting accessories game you have many various interfaces, mixers and accessories, but if you’re looking for a quick and simple method to getting your episodes out there, the Zoom H6 is hands down the best device you’ll get your hands on. I’ve recorded using a USB Mic for the better part of year to record my show, but Zoom’s H6 has been a delight to use, and going forward it’s the only way I’ll record my show. Let me just begin by saying this: Without the Zoom H6, my podcast experience has been less than mediocre.
