Zoom H6studio 8-Track 32-Bit Float Handy Recorder with XY Stereo Mics
The H6studio puts studio-grade sound in your hands. With 6 audio tracks, large-diaphragm XY mics, 32-bit float recording, and F-Series preamps, you can capture inspiration wherever it strikes.
Never Lose a Take Due to Clipping
Whether you're on set or on location, the H6studio's 32-bit float recording keeps you free from clipping and protects you from the unexpected.
Turn Any Space Into a Studio
Capturing up to 8 tracks - 6 individual tracks plus a stereo mix, the H6studio is the perfect portable recording studio.
Podcast Anywhere
Wherever you podcast, the H6studio gives you the inputs, sound quality, and flexibility to bring every voice to life.
From Samples to Soundscapes
Whether you’re a musician recording samples or a sound designer crafting the perfect effect, the H6studio captures textures and tones with pristine audio clarity.
Bigger Mics, Bigger Sound
The H6studio’s 19.4mm XY microphones capture a rich, flat-response with 123 dB of dynamic range and can withstand 140 dB SPL, enough to record a jet engine.
The Power of F-Series Preamps
The H6studio’s preamps deliver ultra-clean audio (-127 dBu EIN). Combined with dual A/D converters and 32-bit float, they provide 132 dB of dynamic range to capture every nuance.
Switch Formats, Not Recorders
Choose between 32-bit float for clip-free recording or use the gain knobs in 16/24-bit for more traditional control. A dedicated format switch lets the H6studio adapt to your workflow quickly.
All the Inputs You Need
The H6studio includes four locking XLR/TRS inputs with +48V phantom power and +4dBu line-level support. It also has a stereo mini jack with plug-in power.
Advanced 2-Inch Color Display
See both the input level peaks and the recording waveforms at the same time. Tap the DISP key to switch between level meter only or waveform view.
USB Audio Interface
Use the H6studio as a 6-in/2-out USB audio interface supporting 32-bit float and 16/24-bit recording. Stream and simultaneously record a backup to the microSD card.
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)
