H6 Handy Recorder
Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing a ZOOM Handy
Recorder. The
has the following features.
Stereo mics can be changed according to use
An XY mic that can record sound images with depth and an
MS mic that allows the stereo width to be adjusted freely are
included. You can switch mics according to the situation as
you would switch lenses on an SLR camera.
Options include a highly-directional shotgun mic and an
external XLR/TRS input.
Record up to 6
track
at once
In addition to the swappable stereo mic (L/R input), the main
unit has 4 XLR/TRS inputs (Inputs 1–4).
Use these to simultaneously record a maximum of 6 tracks,
including ambiance, narration, a stereo image and the voices
of multiple performers, for example.
Advanced recording features
•
The XY mic, which has newly-developed 14.6mm large
diaphragm mics, records the full range of frequencies with
good stereo placement.
•
Using the L/R input mics, you can simultaneously record
a backup file with a recording level that is 12 dB less than
the regular recording. You can use this backup recording if
an unexpected loud noise should cause the regular record-
ing to distort, for example.
•
Inputs 1–4 have increased maximum gain compared to
previous models. In response to popular demand, they
have independent PAD switches that allow them to easily
handle +4dB input. They can also provide phantom power
(+12V/+24V/+48V).
•
All input volume (gain) levels can be adjusted quickly by
hand using dedicated knobs.
Useful operation features
•
High-capacity SDXC cards can be used as recording
media, allowing even longer recording times.
•
The color LCD is positioned to be easy to read even when
mounted on an SLR camera.
•
In addition to the standard headphones output, a line
output jack is built-in. This allows you to send the audio
signal to a video camera or other device while monitoring
with headphones.
•
When the
is connected by USB, in addition to card
reader functions, it can be used as an audio interface
that is either 2 IN and 2 OUT or 6 IN and 2 OUT (driver
required for 6 IN use with Windows).
•
Of course, a tuner, a metronome and playback speed and
pitch adjustments are included among the useful func-
tions that are also found in other models in the H series.
•
An optional remote control (wired) is also available.
Please read this manual carefully to fully understand the
functions of the
