The H6essential recorder is the essential tool for professional audio creators looking for a reliable, portable recorder with exceptional audio quality. It offers great flexibility thanks to its 6 mic/line inputs, interchangeable capsules and 6-channel mixer.

Zoom has equipped it with 6 tracks, a 32-bit floating-point resolution that captures an immense dynamic range, and 2 AD converters, giving you unrivalled audio quality and unprecedented versatility.

Connect the USB-C port to PC, Mac, iOS and Android devices to use it as an audio interface while simultaneously recording all 6 tracks to an SD card. Its screen allows waveform display so you can see your audio while recording.

The XYH-6e 3.0 capsule system has been updated to support 32-bit floating, capable of handling a maximum sound pressure level of 135 dB, making it ideal for recording concerts, rehearsals, interviews or speeches.

It brings three new features:

- Input gain adjustment
- AI noise reduction
- MP3 recording/export

This update helps make Zoom Essential recorders a must-have for musicians, podcasters and filmmakers, enabling them to capture the best possible sound, simply.

Colis bien reçu et honnêtement je le trouve de bonne facture, la qualité est bonne, pas cheap du tout bien que léger, mais une fois les piles installées ça change tout. j'ai installé les piles, ça fait trois jours mais les barres sont toujours pleines, stable et le son de l'enregistrement vraiment correcte. petit bémole: livré sans transfo d'alimentation, sans câble pour la connexion et il faut acheter tous les accessoires même la bonnette, ce qui n'est pas très intéressant. mais franchement je suis content de ses 4 entrées combo XLR/Jack, il y a peut être mieux mais moi il me convient parfaitement, je suis super content de mon achat et je le recommande!

Plutôt impressionnant en première impression, mais la prise en main est assez simple et la doc en ligne répond bien aux questions d'utilisation.
