Lighting designers and event coordinators looking for a set of weather resistant LED uplighting fixtures will be impressed with the chrome, IP54-rated American DJ Element H6 PAK, a complete, all-in-one lighting system with six battery-powered LED PAR fixtures in a durable flight case with onboard battery charging well suited for clubs, mobile DJ setups, houses of worship, bands, live stages, and more.

Each fixture is powered by four 20W RGBAW+UV LEDs that produce a 17.6° beam angle, making them great for wall washing. A built-in handle and feet allow the lights to be simply dropped into place—ready to go. A built-in kickstand allows the beam to be angled inward towards the wall if required, which creates a more intense wash and minimizes light spill onto the ceiling.

With an IP54 rating, the Mirage H6 fixture can withstand the rigors of on-the-road wear and tear, great for indoor and temporary outdoor applications. The integrated Aria X2 wireless DMX features a signal LED indicator. The robust battery will operate for up to 12 hours on a single color or up to 6 hours changing colors.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Are USB microphones compatible with this device?

A: No. You'll need microphones with 1/4 or XLR plugs.

Q: 2. Is there a way to attach a radio mic to the bag for easy carrying in the field?

A: Define Radio mic . It's easier to answer if I know the make and model. I used this on a reality show set feeding two wireless LAVs and a shotgun on a boom pole into my ZOOM H6. I was wired to the gills.

Q: 3. Does the H6 have the ability to do auto-levels?

A: I dont think so, it also can only do bracket levels from the attachable capsules,

Q: 4. Can I use the power supply provided with the Zoom h4n for the h6?

A: A correction to Brandons previous answer: The H6 takes mini USB, not micro USB.

Q: 5. Is this a good mic for interviews? Like voice over quality interview? Im trying to choose between this or the Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun mic, some help would be REALLY helpful.

A: I have compared the Zoom capsules to the MKE via YouTube demos and bought the MKE. It’s got a nice ‘broadcast tone’ but mildly so and not gauzy like an SM7b. It also has less noise and greater off-axis rejection than any of the Zoom capsules. Also, it’s free from the proprietary tethering which afflict the capsules. The mic is much larger and heavier, however. Ideally, you’d get both the MKE and an external recorder like this H6 or similar. I’d consider the capsules for limited budget, convenience & stereo recording but not for the utmost in sound quality, directionality or independence.

Q: 6. Can you record a mix down of 4 mics rather than or in addition to individual channels?

A: From my experience with the H6, and after looking through the manual, I don't believe you can record a mix-down at the same time as recording the individual multi-track inputs. Nor can you record that mix instead of recording the individual tracks. Once the multitrack recordings are completed, you can set up the mixer and record a stereo mix-down file using the playback of the individual tracks. If you already have a separate stereo recorder, during recording you could use the mixer of the H6 and take signals out the TRS mini Line Output jack on the H6 into the line inputs of your other recorder to capture a mono or stereo mix during the live session.

Q: 7. Can I use this to record and livestream at the same time? I'd like to use the built in mixer to control the inputs, while recording the audio. And us the output to my ATEM mini for a live stream. Possible?

A: Yes, you can use the H6 to connect your mics and use the built-in mixer to control the inputs while also recording to an SD card. The 3.5mm headphone jack on the H6 functions as a line out which you can connect to an audio input on the ATEM mini.

Q: 8. Does the output jack allow you to record to your camera and the H6 at the same time?

A: Yes, only that you will have a stereo mix. It works great.

Q: 9. Is there rear access to the battery compartment and the thread mount?

A: Yes, there's a flap underneath that you can fold back to use the thread mount and it also uncovers the built-in monitor speaker. However it's not able to pull back far enough to access the battery compartment. When I first got this case I felt that was really annoying, but it turned out to not be that big of a deal. Pulling the unit in and out of the bag is pretty quick and I've had plenty of time to change batteries between shots at location jobs where I use phantom power all day for external shotgun mics. Another option to bypass the need for accessing the battery compartment at all is to get a small external rechargeable power pack that can supply 5v of power to the H6 via the mini USB jack.

Q: 10. How to connect Nikon D750 and syn the video and Zoom H6 audio?

A: To connect the H6's 3.5mm Line out to the camera's 3.5mm Mic in you will use an attenuator cable, like this one from Whirlwind. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/767986-REG/Whirlwind_WHH4NL3_5_WHH4NL3_5_Line_to_Microphone.html Because there is no time code involved, to sync you will need a software based solution, like Plural Eyes. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1226419-REG/red_giant_sho_pluraleyes4_d_pluraleyes_4_download.html
