Tricia P : Is this microphone wireless? And does it work with Zoom with HN6 recorder?DREW C : No, it's not wireless. It must be plugged into your recorder.Yousef Y : This microphone capsule is only compatible with selected Zoom recorders including the Zoom H6, it requires no cables when connected to the H6 as the H6 has the connector built in already, however you still can use it with an extension cable sold separatelyJoby G : This mic connects directly to the top mount of the HN6. There are no wires to hook into the recorder, so I guess you can call it wireless, but it has to be connected to the recorder to work.JOHN B : To use this with the HN6 remove the xy microphone capsule, then attach this microphone capsule in its place. This is a zoom microphone capsule and doesn't have any other connectors or wireless connectivity.

Great Mic, Great Value

Amazing sound so far. Surprisingly good low-end response even at a distance. All in all great purchase, especially when comparable shotgun mics will run you $600+.

Great Bang for the Buck!

While it won't put Sennheiser or Schoeps out of business, the performance of this mic is something I've been looking for in an affordable MS stereo short shotgun. A shame it only works on the Zoom product line; not that I have a problem with them being a satisfied owner of an H6N, but I'd like to use this with top-shelf mic pres like my Sound Devices 302 for example. You won't be disappointed! Nice & warm - but not too warm like the old Neumann.
