ZOOM H6 Studio

The H6studio features large-diaphragm XY microphones, four studio-grade preamps, and 32-bit float recording with dedicated gain knobs. Built with F-Series technology, it’s the most advanced Handy Recorder to date.

 

FEATURES:

• 32-bit float and 16/24-bit formats each have their Advantages
  • 32-bit float prevents clipping but requires post-production
  • 16/24-bit eliminates the need for post-processing but requires gain adjustment to prevent clipping
  • The H6studio offers the best of both worlds with 32-bit float and dedicated gain knobs—no clipping and no need for post-production
  • And with the dedicated format switch, you can adapt your workflow quickly
• The H6studio supports sampling rates from 44.1 to 192 kHz
• Capture up to 8 tracks* at once – 6 individual tracks plus a stereo mix
  • Up to 8 tracks (6 inputs + 2 stereo mixes) at 96kHZ
  • Up to 6 tracks (6 inputs) at 192kHZ
• The 19.4mm microphones capture audio with incredible frequency Response and 140 dB max SPL
• Their increased size captures recordings with unmatched depth and clarity
• The H6STUDIO features Zooms F-series preamps, giving your audio unmatched clarity (-127 dBu EIN)
• With dual AD converters and 32-bit float, it delivers an impressive 132dB dynamic range
• The H6studio features “advanced look-ahead” limiters which anticipate potential overloads and prevent distortion before it reaches your track
