ZOOM H6STUDIO, 8 Track Handy Recorder with 4 Inputs
The H6studio from Zoom is an ultra-portable recorder packed with studio quality preamps for capturing the highest quality recordings on the go. It features four XLR/TRS combo jacks, each of which contain F-Series preamps, which provide crystal-clear audio (-127 dBu EIN) whether you're recording instruments DI, or recording your environment with a microphone. The included 19.4mm XY mic capsule captures super-accurate representations of your sounds, offering an exceptionally flat frequency response along with 123 dB of dynamic range, and can handle up to 140 dB SPL. The H6studio's mics are a perfect X/Y stack, providing the lowest possible phase cancellation to capture great-sounding recordings every time.
