Zoom H6studio 6-Track Handy Recorder with 32-Bit Float Recording
The Zoom H6studio delivers studio-quality sound in any setting. Equipped with large-diaphragm XY microphones, four exceptionally clean F-Series preamps, and 32-bit float recording along with dedicated gain knobs, it stands as the most sophisticated Handy Recorder ever produced by Zoom. Utilizing F-Series technology, the H6studio guarantees that every recording is flawless, whether you are capturing music, film audio, podcasts, or field recordings.
- With an impressive -127 dBu EIN, the H6studio's F-Series preamps deliver ultraclean, transparent audio. Dual A/D converters and 32-bit float recording offer 132 dB of dynamic range, so every subtle detail is captured without distortion.
- The 19.4mm X/Y microphones provide a flat, natural frequency response and handle up to 140 dB SPL-enough to record everything from quiet acoustic performances to roaring jet engines. Their stacked 90º X/Y arrangement minimizes phase cancellation for a clear, focused stereo image.
- Easily toggle between 32-bit float for no-clipping headroom and 16/24-bit for instant, ready-to-use files. With dedicated gain knobs and a format switch, you can adapt to any workflow without missing a beat.
- Record up to 8 tracks simultaneously—6 individual inputs plus a stereo mix—at sampling rates from 44.1 to 192 kHz (up to 8 tracks at 96 kHz, 6 tracks at 192 kHz). RF shielding prevents smartphone and Wi-Fi interference, while shockmounted capsules reduce handling noise.
- Lookahead limiters prevent distortion in 16-/24-bit mode and ensure smooth, peak-free recordings in 32-bit float. Four locking XLR/TRS inputs offer +48V phantom power and +4 dBu line-level support, plus a stereo mini jack for plug-in powered mics.
- The Capsule System 3.0 supports 32-bit float and a range of interchangeable mics and inputs, including the WLM-1 dual-channel wireless system.
- Monitor both peak levels and waveforms in real time. Output via the powerful headphone jack, stereo line out, or onboard speaker.
- Use the H6studio as a 6-in / 2-out USB audio interface for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. The optional TCA-1 adapter provides ultra-accurate timecode generation or wireless sync with ATOMOS UltraSync BLUE.
- Includes mono mode, low-cut filter, file normalization, variable speed playback, A-B repeat, and a start tone for syncing audio to video. Records to microSDHC/microSDXC cards up to 2TB.
- Record for up to 15 hours on 4 AA batteries or power via USB/AC adapter. Built-in accessibility features provide audible menu navigation in multiple languages for visually impaired users.
