Manual-Gain H6 All Black

Capture a room and close microphones together

Use the included X/Y capsule for a stereo picture of a performance or location, while the four combo inputs capture individual microphones or line sources. Each external input has its own gain knob and pad switch so you can set levels for different sources.

Choose the capsule for the job

The included XYH-6 capsule provides adjustable 90° or 120° stereo pickup. Compatible optional Zoom capsules let you change the recording approach, including shotgun capture or two additional XLR/TRS inputs. The additional capsules are sold separately.

Set levels and keep a backup

The H6 All Black records 16-bit or 24-bit WAV files at up to 96 kHz. Its optional L/R backup records the capsule signal 12 dB lower for additional protection against unexpected peaks. This model uses manual gain setting; it does not record 32-bit float files.

Record on location or connect to a computer

Four AA batteries power location recording, while USB power and the optional AD-17 adapter support longer sessions. Separate headphone and line outputs handle monitoring and a camera or other destination. In multitrack USB mode, the H6 provides six inputs and two outputs at up to 24-bit/96 kHz.
