Review Image by Primm Primm
The perfect handy recorder! This review is how we use it, how we love it and why. I am not a paid reviewer either. I just feel that this product is so fairly priced for what you get, I just got to share! We shoot a lot of dance recitals and stage plays. We use boundary microphones to capture stage sounds, i.e. tapping, effects etc. We capture the facilities “sound system” directly to one of our cameras for the music and vocal microphones and leave the H6 to record the natural sounds of the stage and room. In the past we would run very long XLR cables back to our cameras, 100’s of feet worth counting all the mics. With this recorder we are now able to put more microphones on stage and not have to run those long XLR cables that take a lot of gaffer tape and time. Both microphone attachments that come with the H6 sound great. But I feel the MSH-6 MS mic is the best to me. It picks up exactly as you hear it naturally, the highs and the lows! It gives a natural Right Center and Left in one audio track. You can adjust this effect from narrow to wide, just astonishing! We produce 5.1 surround on all our projects - the H6 will allow us to do this more accurately and easier! You get separate audio tracks for 4 mics and 1 stereo track for the attachment mics, although, you can make 1 & 2 stereo and / or 3 & 4 stereo if you need. The H6 noise floor is very low, lower than our cameras built in XLR’s which surprised me. With the high bit rates, the H6 will record may be why. In the editing room is where I really feel good about this! One thing I wish I had known before I put it to professional use - if you put batteries in the H6 and plug in the power to an outlet and the plug gets unplugged by accident, the batteries take over instantly! During a play we shot as the actors were jumping off stage one hit the outlet and well the recorder stopped. Not a big issue as it was just before intermission and we shot the same play 4 times I could just use another show for that scene, but backup batteries would have been helpful. I just did not know it would do that. If the recorder gets unplugged while recording and you don’t have batteries installed you must use the file repair feature in the H6. I had to run the repair twice to get the file playable and downloadable but it worked! But backup batteries… wish I had known. Other good info to know: You can run either one XLR from the line out of the recorder to your camera, reason for this, easy sync! The H6 has a sine wave noise, (you have to turn this feature on in the menus) you know the blip sound. As you hit record on the H6 the camera will record that blip and in post you can simply line the blips up and perfect sync in seconds. Yea there are methods for automating sync I know I use them, but this is just quicker and easier. We run a line out to a mic pack transmitter and wirelessly transmit to a receiver on the primary camera to record this without a long XLR cable run, and it allows you to monitor the sound.. sort of, as well as getting that blip noise for sync. The headphone jack on the H6 will give you a true preview, the line out is really just for sync purposes, you get a monotone lower quality sound… you get it. Run time? Phantom power on all 4 tracks along with the MSH-6 MS mic while recording 48k 24 bit will drain alkaline batteries in about an hour. Our rechargeable batteries in 10 minutes. Use a power source for long recording needs, or just don’t run mics with phantom power??. They claim 20 hours of recording, maybe if you run just the attachment mic and at a low bit rate??? But my test in a real-world situation the way we require - 1 hour! But power outlets are never an issue for us. Stages always have an outlet within reach., just have batteries installed for backup if an accident happens. Setup? The menus are very easy to navigate. I figured it out in about 2 minutes. Easy to configure! Backup recording only backs up the attachment mics and this records a -12db track from where you have your mic set, very nice! Project folders = organized files for post! Build? Feels durable and fragile all at the same time. Meaning it feels like it could take a drop but my mind says no! Has a rubbery feel so can get a good grip on it. The H6 has a standard 1/4 “tripod thread on the bottom for connecting to a stand of your choice. ... show more

The media could not be loaded. This product arrived on time. It is light weight, not too big, and the knobs move with ease. Works exactly as expected to with a decent battery life. This device is easy to use.

style: H6 (pre-2020 Model)
No need to cover old ground, there are tons of reviews and videos for this unit all over the internet. So I'll give you the main value points I've personally found in Zoom H6... - Record (up to) 6 tracks simultaneously at (up to) 24-bit / 96 khz resolution, with a low noise floor and good pre-amps (amazing for a $350 hand-held recorder) - The included XY head ("capsule" shown in the picture) provides a very transparent and natural recording - maybe not on par with your nice condenser mic, but not too far behind either (haven't tried the included MS capsule yet) - With the optional XLR capsule, you get 2 more dedicated input channels, each of which accepts 1/4" (TRS) and XLR cables (note: the XLR capsule does not provide phantom power, so only 4 inputs w/ phantom power are available) - Threaded insert (metal) on the backside for easy mounting on a camera tripod (light stands, etc.) - Fast startup - ready to record in under 5 seconds (arm the tracks you want to record and go) - Fairly easy to navigate menu system (still not something you want to do in a pinch, on-the-fly) - Separate headphone AND line out jack (both mini stereo jacks) with separate level controls, which is VERY cool to have! - Built-in speaker to quickly check your recordings (not hi-fi at all, but functional) - Has a very solid and professional "feel" in your hands - Also functions as a DAW audio interface (via mini USB connector) but it only supports 2 channels in/out at a time (not all 6) and it's limited to 16bit/48k throughput (which is still great quality, but the recorder itself supports up to 24bit/96k) And in the interest of fair and balanced reporting, I have a few minor frustrations... - There are no detents in the rotary gain dials, and no way to "lock" them once set, so they are easy to bump and unintentionally change the recording levels - The built-in compressor is not too good, the limiter is so-so, though both are marginally adjustable (3 settings for each) I would agree they are "functional" but not exactly "smooth" or "transparent" - if you must use them, try to get by with the limiter first, then compressor as a last result (better still, if possible, adjust your recording setup so as not to need these) - Would be even more magical with basic channel effects (reverb, chorus, etc.) and a few overall effects (normalizing, mastering, etc.) - 1/4" inserts are pretty tight (IMO) which is good for ensuring a "solid connection" but it makes me a little anxious when inserting / remove cords (maybe they will loosen up just a bit with continued use) - The included plastic case is sorta cheezy IMO - functional but no extra room - at this price point, I expected something a little nicer with room to accomodate a few additional accessories (depending on your use of the unit, this will likely be something you upgrade) And finally, my personal wish list for a future (firmware?) upgrade... You've heard of a band-in-a-box, well the Zoom H6 is a studio-in-your-hand...ALMOST. I say "almost" because all it needs is an firmware-infusion of basic studio effects (reverb, mastering, etc.) and the ability to "bounce" real tracks to virtual tracks (and keep stacking recordings, based on SD card capacity) - at which point this would literally be a self-contained, battery powered, digital, multi-track studio-in-your-hands!!! (and if it were controllable by a mobile app via bluetooth...OMG) Even so, the H6 is an amazing piece of equipment as-is for ANY home-studio recording enthusiast, or capturing live performances, and an equally solid field recorder for videographers. Not exactly inexpensive, but if you're looking for THIS type of thing, it's worth every penny. ... show more
