Description

The Zoom H6studio is Zoom’s most advanced Handy Recorder to date, built for creators who need pro sound every time they press record. It combines large-diaphragm 90° X/Y microphones, four studio-grade preamps and 32-bit float recording with dedicated gain knobs for confident, high-quality capture in any environment.

Powered by F-Series technology, the H6studio delivers ultra-clean preamp performance with an exceptionally low noise floor (-127 dBu EIN). With dual A/D converters and 32-bit float, it provides a massive 132 dB dynamic range so you can capture everything from delicate ambience to loud sources without losing detail.

The onboard microphone capsule is stacked at a 90º angle to form a perfect X/Y pair, helping to reduce phase issues that can occur with other stereo mic arrangements. For maximum workflow flexibility, the H6studio lets you switch between 32-bit float and traditional 16/24-bit formats using a dedicated format switch. You get the convenience of clip-free 32-bit float, or the simplicity of 16/24-bit when you prefer minimal post-production.

Designed for production, podcasting and location work, the H6studio supports up to 6-track simultaneous recording in WAV up to 192 kHz, offers four XLR/TRS combo inputs with +48V phantom power, and functions as a 6-in / 2-out USB audio interface via USB-C. Helpful tools like low-cut filtering, mono mode, variable speed playback and onboard normalize/export make it easy to deliver clean audio fast.
