Description
Step Up To 32-Bit Float
With 32-bit float and dual AD converters the H6essential captures huge dynamic range. This gives creators the ability to record perfect audio, clip-free every time.
Six Perfect Tracks
The 4 XLR/TRS combo inputs feature ultra-clean Zoom preamps, and the included X/Y microphones can capture up to a booming 135 dB SPL, equivalent to a jet taking off.
Next Generation 3.0 Capsule System
The H6essential’s 3.0 capsule system has been updated to support 32-bit float and gives creators more options to use the right mic for their recording.
Remove The Mics
When the X/Y mic is not needed, detach the capsule and use the included cap for a low profile setup.
Record And Stream
Use the USB-C port to connect to PC, Mac, iOS, and Android device to use the H6essential as a 32-bit float interface while simultaneously recording all 6 tracks to an SD card.
Waveform Display
The H6essential has a waveform display so you can see your audio as it records.
Built-In Mixer
For full control of your mix, hit the ‘Mixer’ button and quickly adjust your levels.
