The revolutionary ZOOM H66-track recorder raises the bar even further for portable handheld recording. With 6 interchangeable mic capsules that can be swapped out as easily as the lenses of a camera - 2 different X/Y, MS, 2 different Shotgun, and Dual XLR/TRS Combo - make the H6 the ultimate chameleon of the audio world, and its advanced preamps make it the best-sounding one too.
Live Concert Recording Capture a live performance on a whole new level! Do more than just record the show: Document the experience. Use the X/Y capsule to capture the overall sound in stereo, then use the other 4 inputs for a direct feed from the mixing board or for external spot mics to pick up specific instruments and the room sound.
Location Videography Get the sound that completes the scene! Whether you slide it onto your camera strap or attach it directly to your DSLR with Zoom's HS1 Hot Shoe mount, the H6 is the essential audio recorder for location videography. Its supplied MSH-6 mic capsule and onboard MS decoding, plus the ability to record up to 6 tracks simultaneously, gives you plenty of options in post-production.
Electronic Newsgathering Deliver the full story, down to the last detail. Extend your range with the optional SGH-6 Shotgun mic. Get every word of that headline-making interview. Capture breaking news with maximum impact, then mix and prepare the audio for broadcast while still in the field.
Making Music Make every chord, every note, every riff really sing! Plug in the optional EXH-6 Dual XLR/TRS capsule and your H6 becomes a personal 6-track studio with six discrete line- or mic-level inputs, each with its own volume control and pad. Record and overdub up to 99 takes in high-resolution audio, then mix down to a stereo MP3 for posting to your favorite website.
Whatever your application - live recording, professional film/video work, live broadcast or electronic news gathering - the H6 can handle it with ease. It will change the way you think about recording forever!
