Should’ve Bought This Sooner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just used this device in conjunction with wireless mics. The audio was super clear and my future video Projects will have much improved audio.

Glad I went with the H6 over the H5
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Zoom products don't get bad reviews and for good reason. I was toying with the idea between the sleeker H5 or the big honkin' H6 and I ended up going with the H6 because of the extra inputs. I didn't want to be limited over an $80 difference in price. Sure enough, my band's next show I approached the sound guy about it and he said he has the same one and has recorded over 1500 shows with his. He plugged in 4 parallel channels into mine and set the 120 degree stereo mic arrangement up and I had 6 3-hour audio tracks I later imported into my DAW to get a really nice balanced sound for my video. I had to buy a bigger SD card but I didn't care about that. Bottom line - just get the H6 if you're trying to decide between the H5 and the H6. They have the same pre-amps but the H6 is just the fully loaded version. There's something to say for a well-built, well-constructed piece of equipment. If it feels solid and well made, chances are it is and it'll perform well. I also believe in "you get what you pay for."

Very good purchase.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this recorder to use with my new Canon 80D. I have always been an amateur videographer and enjoy making and editing movies for fun. I wanted to step up my game a little and move to a DSLR camera but heard the sound wasn't the greatest. I purchased this recorder so I could get sound separately and put them together later. It works great. Sound is excellent, and there are plenty of accessories like the shotgun mic, and room to plug in XLR devices such as external microphones. I had no problems figuring out how to work it and I syncing the sound with third party software was a breeze. The sound quality is excellent and the recorder is very versatile. Keep in mind I am an amateur so if you are using this for professional purposes I can't really say how good it is but for me, no complaints.

High Quality, Great Results
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this to capture audio and send an audio feed to my DSLR for video recording. Floor noise is very low for great recordings. I use wireless lavs to feed into the Zoom H6. Monitor audio with headphones and output into my DSLR as reference audio. The quality is most times good enough to use the video as is. I like that the Zoom saves individual tracks. Only drawback is that if I use 2 separate tracks in, when output to the DSLR it mixes the audio and does not record separate stereo tracks. It is good to use a separate recorder like this for quality, safety and confidence in audio recording. Build is high quality. Easy to use. Built in mics are great for backup audio and ambient sound pickup.

As the description says: "Handy"
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been recording a band using a mixer and outboard gear into Pro Tools while also running everything into the Zoom as an additional reference. I can't get the same kind of separation of tracks, but the sound quality overall is still comparable. I can really see myself using this a lot while on the go to record quick sketches and at home when I don' want to take the time to set up my studio recording rig. Very "handy" indeed" and sounds good to boot.

The Zoom H6 is Amazing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For $400, you can't currently find a recorder as great as this. And if you ever will be able to, it will likely come from the Zoom family. Just great quality sound recorders, on a budget. The H6 is the top of the line, can't wait to get the shotgun attachment and the attachment to allow 2 extra channels. So easy to use, you don't even need the manual. The option to use it as an SD card reader OR a USB audio interface is a godsend. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great Multichannel Audio Capture Device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Zoom because I needed to capture at least 4 discrete channels of audio for my videos. Out of the box the H6 allows me to capture 4 XLR inputs along with the X/Y mics for general sound pickup. Controlling gain on each mic is as simple as adjusting the knobs. While the knobs are numbers 1-10 for gain control I wish they were numbered in dB instead making adjustments a little easier. I hope to get the extra options such as the 2 extra XLR inputs and the remote control for even more veratility.

Must buy for audio!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own the H4n and was having issues so this product was a need more than a want. I was thoroughly impressed with it. With the H4n, I had issues with battery life, adjusting audio on the fly, and being limited to only two inputs. With the H6, the battery doesn't drain as quickly, you get the four XLR inputs with one more port for a Zoom extension mic. The dials on each input are very easy to change on the fly. The meters are great, the audio quality is great and the case it comes in is a nice bonus. For me, the H6 is my go to audio device for everything I do.
