Essential Information About the Zoom H6Studio Portable Recorder
- 32-bit Floating Point Recording with dual A/D conversion and preamps from the F series (equivalent input noise rated at -127 dBu) for gain-free recording and signal optimization during editing.
- Up to 6 Tracks Plus a Stereo Mix, 4 lockable XLR/TRS combo inputs with +48 V phantom power and +4 dBu line level, included wide-diaphragm XY capsule, and compatibility with 3rd generation capsules.
- Advanced Visual Monitoring via a 2-inch color LCD screen displaying levels and waveforms in real time, plus RF shielding to eliminate interference from smartphones and Wi-Fi routers.
- USB-C Audio Interface (Mac/PC/iOS/Android) with 2 or 6 inputs / 2 outputs, simultaneous recording to SD card, timecode synchronization, and remote control via optional Bluetooth adapter.
From the H Lineage to Zero Stress: The Place of the H6Studio
A direct successor to the H5studio, the H6Studio expands the modular recorder concept by adding more inputs and a 32-bit floating point workflow that frees users from gain setting constraints. It features the high-end preamps from the F series and adds RF shielding as well as waveform display, making it suitable for professional use both in the field and in the studio.
Designed for Podcasters, Videographers, and Mobile Sound Recordists
Whether for multi-mic interviews, camera shoots, ambience recording, or rehearsals, the H6Studio offers robust capture, simple monitoring, and direct integration with video rigs. Lockable combo inputs, a wide dynamic range XY capsule, and wireless synchronization make it a reliable companion for demanding mobile sessions.
Key Features for a Modern Workflow
32-bit Floating Point and Level Safety
The dual-stage A/D conversion allows recording without clipping or gain adjustment, while advanced predictive limiters, high-pass filters, normalization, and vocal mono mode secure recordings in changing environments.
Readable Display and Field Operations
The 2-inch color screen, with French interface, shows levels and waveforms in real time to keep an eye on your peaks. A test tone generator and recording start tone facilitate post-production and camera synchronization.
Connectivity and Control
The USB-C port turns the device into a 2 or 6 input / 2 output audio interface while recording to an SD card. With the optional Bluetooth adapters BTA-1 or TCA-1, you gain remote control, synchronization, and timecode capabilities via the ZOOM Handy Control & Sync app for iOS.
