What sets the H6essential 6-Track 32-Bit Float Handy Recorder apart is its robust and powerful recording capabilities, making it a flagship product in the realm of handheld recorders. It offers six tracks of 32-bit float recording, delivering unprecedented audio quality and unparalleled versatility for creators.
This device is equipped with 32-bit float and dual AD converters, capturing a vast dynamic range. This feature ensures clip-free, flawless audio recording every time, making it an essential tool for audio perfectionists.
The H6essential is the first in the Essential Series to offer accessibility features for the blind and visually impaired. It allows users to navigate the menu with audible descriptions, available in seven languages: English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian, and Chinese.
The four XLR/TRS combo inputs of the H6essential feature ultra-clean Zoom preamps. The included X/Y microphones can capture up to a booming 135 dB SPL, equivalent to the sound of a jet taking off, ensuring that no sound is too loud to record.
The next-generation 3.0 capsule system of the H6essential supports 32-bit float, offering creators more options to choose the right microphone for their recording. When the X/Y mic is not needed, the capsule can be detached for a low-profile setup.
The H6essential also features a USB-C port for connectivity with PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices. This allows it to function as a 32-bit float interface while simultaneously recording all six tracks to an SD card.
For musicians, filmmakers, and podcasters, the H6essential serves as a portable studio. It can mic up to four instruments using the XLR inputs and capture the full ensemble in beautiful stereo. The interchangeable capsules, four XLR inputs, and wireless timecode make it an invaluable tool on any set.
The H6essential also features a waveform display for visual monitoring of your audio as it records. It has a built-in mixer for full control of your mix, and can be paired with your iOS device for remote recording, mix adjustment, waveform viewing, and setting changes.
The H6essential is designed with quieter controls for silent operation and an improved onboard speaker for quick reference listening. It also includes the necessary outputs for camera connection and audio monitoring. The new full-color LCD screen offers a more vivid view as you record and navigate the menu, enhancing visibility and user experience.
