[Handle] Excellent gear to improve the sound of the videos. Easy to handle, requires some time to get use to it, but it is perfect for my necessities. Both mics are tremendous.

[Black] After days and days of research into sound recorders, the Zoom H6 stood out in quality, versatility and features. There was no doubt in my mind as to what I wanted. But besides the quality of the Zoom H6, mention should definitely also be made about B&H, and the way they make it possible for anyone all over the world to obtain these amazing machines. The technical knowledge for any product on their site - which is needed to make an informed decision - is astounding. If B&H doesn't say so, it ain't so... I was able to afford my H6 solely because of the DealZone feature. Due to the hours time difference, I actually missed the deadline, but B&H extended the deal and gave me a free Fur Windshield as a gift! B&H made it possible to improve the quality of my work, which would not have happened, if it wasn't for the DealZone special. In Africa we are not used to this level of service. I think service for B&H means much more than merely selling stuff, they are an excellent source of information on all things photo/video/audio... related! Thanks!

[4.7 lb] I’ve watched a lot of positive reviews on this product until I’ve had it in my hand. It’s totally a must have tool for a videographer or use it as a audio interface. Love II.

[4.7 lb] I bought the H6 whilst it was discounted, intended as an upgrade for my much-loved H1n. I like the XY pattern and its ability to choose between both 90 degrees and 120, which is excellent for my purposes. I haven't had good opportunity to experiment with the M/S microphone module, but I'm sure I'll dig it out and use it.


The build quality over the H1n is light-years apart, from fairly-flimsy plastic to a very solid feel. Being able to interchange the microphone modules was a significant appeal, and the ability to plug in up to four additional inputs is also a drawcard over other recorders.


The only downside (and I knew about it beforehand) is not being able to transfer the accessories I have for the H1n. The H1n uses two AAAs while this takes four AAs, and this requires a full size SD card to the H1n's micro (I suppose an adapter could be used, but wouldn't be backward compatible). That said, because I still have the full H1n kit, I could potentially mount the two side-by-side and use a short cable to connect to the H6 for full surround recording.

[4.7 lb] My new Zoom H6 audio recorder purchased from B&H is excellent. It does everything I need it to do for recording high quality audio files. I'm pairing this recorder with 2 SHURE SM48 dynamic microphones also purchased from B&H. So far I'm a happy camper with this device!

[Handle] It was easy to set up and works beautifully. It makes audio recording and editing so much easier.

[4.7 lb] There's a learning curve to mastering this good, solid field recorder, but not bad from the perspective of this user who wants good quality without requiring the user become a techie.

[4.7 lb] It can be used as an external mic with great preamps, a podcasting mic, an audio interface for making music and live-streaming, a field recorder for ambient noise and foley. It’s so versatile and sounds amazing. The X/Y capsule has great bass and makes my voice sound even better than real life! Turns on quickly to capture sounds fast, and accepts larger memory cards. All around, a great purchase.

[Latch] I play in an array of bands (mostly Jazz ensembles). We compared this recorder to several others using the internal xy microphones. The consensus was that compared to the other recorders by Roland, Tascam and Olympus, that we owned, the Zoom's internal mics produced a smoother, fuller sound with excellent detail and imaging.


The other recorders did a good job but the recordings had a slightly thinner sound quality. The ability to record up to 6 inputs was not compared.


The color display is clear and easy to read and the recorder has a logical menu structure. The screen is small but the trade off is the presence of analog controls for basic functions which is worth the trade off. The H6 serves as a digitial interface for 6 channels as well as a recorder which is a nice bonus.


The Gray model comes with 2 microphones and a case where the black recorder, which is identical, omits the case and second microphone in exchange for the black finish. I do recommend the H6 recorder.

[4.7 lb] I love this Mike for several reasons, not only able to record good audio we are able to capture audio from XLR and quarter inch. You can record the audio at high-level and low-level at the same time in a high wav format.
