The H6studio, Zoom’s most advanced Handy Recorder yet, built on F-Series tech to capture clean, detailed audio wherever you find it. Its large-diaphragm 19.4 mm X/Y mics deliver a flat, musical response with 123 dB of dynamic range and can handle up to 140 dB SPL, while four studio-grade preamps (-127 dBu EIN) and dual A/D converters feed true 32-bit float recording for a massive 132 dB capture window.

You get the best of both worlds—32-bit float with dedicated gain knobs for no-clip confidence and a quick format switch when you prefer 16/24-bit—plus “look-ahead” limiters that catch peaks before they become problems. Record up to 8 tracks at once (six discrete plus a stereo mix) at 44.1–192 kHz, with RF shielding and shock-mounted XYH-5s capsules to keep interference and handling noise at bay.

Connectivity is pro-level: four locking XLR/TRS inputs with +48V and +4 dBu line-level support, a stereo mini jack, and the Capsule System 3.0*—now 32-bit float capable—for swapping to the right front-end (compatible with SSH-6e, EXH-6e, WLM-1, XYH-6e, sold separately). A clear display lets you view meters and waveforms while you monitor them via a 20 mW headphone out, and the H6studio doubles as a 6-in/2-out USB interface for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android—stream live while backing up to microSD. Power it with four AA batteries for up to 15 hours, or run from USB/AC when the session runs long. *Capsule compatibility as listed.
