ZH6STUDIO - Overview

Pro Audio Results Every Time You Press Record
The ZOOM 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.

The Power of F-Series Preamps
The H6studio's F-series preamps deliver ultra-clean audio (-127 dBu EIN). Paired with dual A/D converters and 32-bit float recording, they provide 132dB of dynamic range capturing every nuance.

Capture Bigger Sound
The H6studio's 19.4mm microphones capture a rich, flat-response with 123dB of dynamic range and can withstand 140 dB SPL, enough for a jet engine.

A Perfect Pair
The H6studio's mics are stacked at a 90° angle to form a perfect X/Y pair. This minimizes phase cancellation commonly experienced with AB and other mic arrangements that can result in hollow sound.

Switch Formats, Not Recorders
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.

Agile
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.

6 Tracks + Stereo Mix
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 and up to 6 tracks at 192kHZ)

The Noise Stops Here
Carefully designed RF shielding blocks interference from smartphones and Wi-Fi. The mics on the XYH-5s capsule use shock mounting to reduce handling noise.

Limiters That Think Ahead
The H6studio's advanced "look-ahead" limiters catch peaks early to prevent distortion, avoiding clipping in 16/24-bit and removes the need for post-recording adjustments when using 32-bit float.

Four XLR/TRS Inputs+Stereo Mini Jack
The H6studio includes four locking XLR/TRS inputs with +48V phantom power and +4dBu line-level support, plus a stereo mini jack. (Supports plug-in powered mics)

Next Generation Capsule System
The H6studio's 3.0 capsule system supports 32-bit float and gives creators more options to use the right mic for their recording. (Compatible with SSH-6e, EXH-6e, WLM-1, XYH-6e)

USB Audio Interface
The H6studio is a 6-in/2-out USB audio interface for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android, supporting 32-bit float and 16/24-bit recording. Stream live and simultaneously record a backup to microSD.

15-Hour Battery
Operates on 4 AA batteries for up to 15 hours of recording. Power through the USB port using a USB mobile battery or AC adapter(AD-17 Sold Separately.)

Designed for Everyone
The H6studio is designed with Accessibility for the blind and visually impaired. Navigate the menu with audible descriptions through the built-in speaker or headphones. Creators can choose English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian or Chinese.
