From the manufacturer
The Flagship
Our most robust handheld recorder, the H6essential is a recording powerhouse. With 6 tracks of 32-bit float recording, the H6essential provides unprecedented quality and unmatched versatility.
New Features :
We’re excited to announce a new firmware update for the Zoom Essential Series recorders, designed to bring even more flexibility and performance to your recordings.
Based on feedback from creators, the update adds three key features:
Input Gain Adjustment Function By adjusting levels during recording, it significantly reduces the need for audio editing in post-production.
AI Noise Reduction Function By learning and reducing ambient environmental noise, it achieves quiet, clear recordings as if captured in a soundproof studio.
MP3 Recording / MP3 Export Function Enables recording in a compressed format that minimizes file size, making sharing recorded files even more convenient.
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.
The First Handy Recorders with Accessibility
The Essential Series was designed with Accessibility for the blind and visually impaired. Navigate the menu with audible descriptions through the built-in speaker or headphones. Creators can choose English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian or Chinese.
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.
For Musicians
The H6essential is a portable studio. Mic up to 4 instruments using the XLR inputs and use the X/Y microphones to capture the full ensemble in beautiful stereo.
For Filmmakers
32-bit float recording gives filmmakers confidence with every take. The interchangeable capsules, 4 XLR inputs and wireless timecode make the H6essential invaluable on any set.
For Podcasters
When everyone wants to be on your podcast, the H6essential has you covered with 4 XLR inputs. For two additional XLR inputs, connect the optional EXH-6e capsule.
Quieter Controls
Recording and rotary controls have been meticulously designed to allow for silent operation.
Onboard Speaker
Use the improved onboard speaker to listen to your recordings for quick reference.
Outputs You Need
Use the line output to connect to a camera and the headphone output to monitor your audio.
