Zoom H6Studio Handheld Recorder

Pro Audio Everytime You Press Record

The H6studio features large-diaphragm XY microphones, four studio-grade preamps, and 32-bit float recording with dedicated gain knobs. Built with F-Series technology, it’s the most advanced Handy Recorder to date.

The Power of F-Series Preamps

The H6studio’s F-series preamps deliver ultra-clean audio (-127 dBu EIN). Paired with dual A/D converters and 32-bit float recording, they provide 132 dB of dynamic range capturing every nuance.

Capture Bigger Sound

The H6studio’s 19.4mm microphones capture a rich, flat-response with 123 dB of dynamic range and can withstand 140 dB SPL, enough for a jet engine.

A Perfect Pair

The H6studio’s mics are stacked at a 90º angle to form a perfect X/Y pair. 
This minimizes phase cancellation commonly experienced with AB and other mic arrangements that can result in hollow sound.

Switch Formats, Not Recorders

32-bit float and 16/24-bit formats each have their advantages. 32-bit float prevents clipping but requires post-production. 16/24-bit eliminates the need for post-processing but requires gain adjustment to prevent clipping.

The H6studio offers the best of both worlds with 32-bit float and dedicated gain knobs—no clipping and no need for post-production. And with the dedicated format switch, you can adapt your workflow quickly.

6 Tracks + Stereo Mix

The H6studio supports sampling rates from 44.1 to 192 kHz. Capture up to 8 tracks* at once - 6 individual tracks plus a stereo mix.

*Up to 8 tracks (6 inputs + 2 stereo mixes) at 96kHZ
Up to 6 tracks (6 inputs) at 192kHZ

The Noise Stops Here

Carefully designed RF shielding blocks interference from smartphones and Wi-Fi. The mics on the XYH-5s capsule use shock mounting to reduce handling noise.

Limiters That Think Ahead

The H6studio’s advanced “look-ahead” limiters catch peaks early to prevent distortion, avoiding clipping in 16/24-bit and removes the need for post-recording adjustments when using 32-bit float.

Four XLR/TRS Inputs + Stereo Mini Jack

The H6studio includes four locking XLR/TRS inputs with +48V phantom power and +4dBu line-level support, plus a stereo mini jack*.
