Hello - excellent review. I'm looking to boost my audio quality. I do a lot of recording in a vehicle and find I'm getting a lot of ambient noise. I'm looking to clean that up. Would you be so kind as to give me a recommendation for a set up that would increase the voice audio and cut out a lot of the background road noise from the vehicle? Thanks again for the excellent review. All the best, Cheers Rick

Hi there, thanks for checking out the video. I am a little confused as you mention that you want to use a USB microphone and the H6 when you can plug a USB mic right into the computer so don't need the h6 for that. So if you are happy to use the h6 you can consider an XLR microphone instead. Technically they would be the best in terms of fidelity of sound. So something like the Rode NT1, Rode Podcaster or Sure SMB XLR mic plugged into the Zoom would be premium. Now if you want to avoid using the H6 for convenience and just plug and play then a usb mic would be great. I haven't tested the new Sure MV7 but I thought it was pretty close to the legendary SMB in sound so I would have thought that would be a good pick. Next up the Rode NT USB is a good option. I haven't tested any of the Blue mics or apogee so can't say but I know they are pretty good. I have been sent a few microphones from BOYA recently and despite the low cost have been impressed with the quality of these mics. I did a review on the BM 700 which you can see here if you are interested: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqt20Kmxc7G8drA.html If you have time listen to the audio and let me know if you think it is better than the Shure, it was plugged right into my Macbook Pro and recorded in Garage band for the demo. No EQ

wow thank you so much for that last section with the tested audio, i was curious about how each mic set up would sound especially with the sound effects. Do you recommend using the wind muffler (foam thing) on top of XY mic when filming indoors? I have mine on but i'm scared it'll muffle the audio instead of it being as crisp as it can be.

@Touchtechnologyreview

4 жыл бұрын

You're welcome. Thanks for checking out the video! I don't think the windshield would noticeably muffle the sound in any way so if you wanted to you could leave it on. Having said that I tend to leave it off in doors just to ensure there is nothing in the way of the mic, however subtle it may be. The only benefit of using the windshield indoors would be when using it for voice over to reduce plosives when talking into it at a distance of 30cm or less so for any other recordings of music room ambience product unboxing etc I tend to leave it off.

Fantastic review. Has helped me decide to get one. Only thing missing is the sound of it recording an acoustic guitar using the XY mics. But great anyway.

I had a Zoom H6 for a few days used to record audio on location. The worst design flaw I found was the channel volume "resetting" itself to zero when booting up via line level XLR input. I had the misfortune to notice this fault while on the shoot (from then on I had to keep slighty moving the dial input every time I switched the unit on to "wake up" the correct channel volume). I had to put tape around my XLR connectors to "pad out" the connection to try and prevent my cables from accidentally being pulled out because of the lack of XLR push-locks. Also the pre-amps are a bit meh, didn't cut it so had to power my mics via my sound devices mixer instead. It just about did the job... but 2 days with such a flakey machine was enough for me and sent it back!

Exactly! That's what we are using

I am note sure the audio quality is a big jump on the H5 as it was coming from the H4. The H5 is a little more compact and has only 2 inputs compared to the H6. So really either one is going to be great. I went for the H6 for the extra inputs.

can you record simultaneously with H6-XY capsule and with an XLR mic? And if so would this be recorded as two separate tracks? Thank you

Yes you can do this. On top of the H6 are the input selectors, you can tap on the L,R which is to activate the capsule mic and any of the 1,2,3,4 buttons to activate the line input of your XLR mic. Hit record and you will get two seperate files.

I've been looking for audio interfaces for a while to be able to record my piano. I wanted to get a set of SE07's and a SSL2. After seeing this review I wonder if it wouldn't be better to get this ZOOM 6 instead. If I combine it with two SE7 I can use the 'on board' mics to pic up either a second instrument, voice, or maybe the soundboard of the piano to get a fuller sound. Or I can just use it the same way as I would use the SSL2 but be more flexible/mobile and also be able to use more phantom powered mics. Am I missing something or is the sound quality much better from a device like the SSL? Would love to get some input on this.

Hello! I am new to the world of audio quality. I have started to do Sound Baths with Crystal Alchemy Bowls.

@Touchtechnologyreview

No post production in the audio. The echo is really more to do with the environment that I recorded in. It is a large open space around 30m SQ. Hardwood floors and no soft furnishings etc. As far as the silibence goes on the S sounds it may have something to do with the mic but also my voice. I do produce a fair amount of Ss as most people do so really you do have to EQ it in post to get rid of it on any mic.

Nice review, I might get this to upgrade from H4n which is really good. Surprised that they didn’t update that SD latch design, I agree that is a bit flimsy the first one to get worn out. I have mine already DIY with a little bit (that silky ribbon for gifts), just to have a tiny ear enough for finger to pull out the cover and it hides nicely being a cloth-like material. 😅

@Touchtechnologyreview

Great to hear you have been enjoying the H6. It has been great for me still using it! The room is pretty bad acoustically and due to the hard floors and shutters along with the open space has a bit too much natural reverb. In this recording I got around it by making sure I was as close as possible to the mic. I was speaking at a distance of around 10cm. If I go back to 15cm or 20cm then you tend to hear more reverb. I didn't apply the usual effect rack on this recording either as I wanted people to hear what it sounds like as is. For other recordings I do on my channel when I can't quite get the mic up that close I have been using some post production software called deverberate by Acon.

I got the Apple lightening to usb camera adaptor plugged the zoom in and most software titles including the rode reporter app, iMovie, Garage Band, Voice Memo's etc pick up the zoom H6 as the audio source. So I would assume live streaming software would also pick it up. However not having tested with streaming I can't be 100% sure.

If you place the zoom unit in the middle of a table in between those who are speaking the built in mics will capture the audio quite well. However the further away the microphone is from the subject voice the more room noise, echo and environmental noise will be present in the recording. So in a noisy restaurant it will not sound great. As such you should consider using a seperate microphone for each speaker. If it is a podcast style of recording you can get xlr podcast mics and put them on stands about 30-50cm away from each person. Another option is to use Lapel microphones and plug each one into the XLR ports of the zoom. Up to four can be used. However keep in mind you may need to down the phantom power on the XLR ports using Rode VXLR Pro 3.5mm TRS to XLR with Phantom-Power Converter. This is because most wired lav mics use phantom power but on 4w. The XLR ports can be set to 12 or 24 Watts and can overpower the lavs. Otherwise you can try to find wired lav mics that do not need phantom power and use a basic XLR to 3.5 adaptor. I know its getting confusing but just laying out the options for you.

@@Touchtechnologyreview thanks for the guidance! In that case, I’ll start with just the unit by itself on the table and dry run that to see how the quality of found is, and then work my way up from there if I need to add dedicated mics. Thanks again!

@@alirezayousefi3054 Sure thing see how it goes. The closer the mic is to the speakers the better the results will be. If the environment is just too noisy then you'll have to consider external mics.

Thanks much for your nice demonstration. I gonna to ask about the device concerning lectures recording,do I need to conect it to apower socket to be functioning or i can put it in my pocket or my bag,secondly, how far distance it can record the voice. Thanks

It will run of 4xAA batteries and you will get 8-12 hours of running time at least per charge. You can use rechargeable batteries or you can buy a power adaptor or use a usb battery pack with it too. Regarding distance it should be fine in a lecture hall, depends on the audio in the room and if it has speakers. If not the closer to the presenter the better.

What do you think of Sound Devices Pre Mix 6 ii?

Tuned in to learn about the AC adapter. Didn't see and input, does it plug into the small USB. Can you use just any ac 5v?

Yes you can use the usb connection for power. Should work with most usb powered battery packs and power supplies.

Hi mate, loved the review on this and really close to pulling the trigger on this. Being a musician, is it possible to use the 3.5 mm line output as an input to record straight out of the onstage audio mixer with the necessary cable. And if so, I'm assuming it would only be in mono and not stereo right? Cheers mate 👍😊

Great to hear. Thanks for checking out the video. Did you mean to use the 3.5mm output to pass through the audio from the zoom into the stage mixer? If so, yes this can be done. I have used it to pass through audio to my DSLR camera in the past but not sure about the stereo. Let me check and I'll get back to you. If meant that you want to record the audio from the stage mixer into the zoom then you can also do that but you would use the XLR inputs on the side or if you have a 3.5 cable coming from the mixer you can use the 3.5 input on the XY capsule. I talk more about that in the following video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k4B3ydiIkc3fdJs.html

@@Touchtechnologyreview thanks so much mate. After reading this I feel really stupid now. I did mean the 3.5mm jack from the onstage sound coming from the mixer and then into the zoom. Of course I would probably go through the xlrs which I completely forgot about. 🙄 Thanks for the advice and much appreciated!

@@gerardvinar All good I wasn't sure which way you wanted to go as you can use the 3.5 output to pass the zoom audio into the mixer too. But as you say for getting audio in you can use the XLR inputs or if it is a 3.5mm cable you can use the 3.5 input on the XY capsule.

Another really good video, thank you. If I have 2 Rode Go's and 1 XLR, can I record all 3 with the H6?

Yes you can. The zoom H6 has only one 3.5 input on the XY capsule. So you will have to get at least one Rode VXLR adaptors, these adapt from 3.5mm to XLR. You can then plug the Go's into the XLR ports. I have done this on many occasions with mine and is great as I can monitor the audio of all inputs on the Zoom and tweak the dials during the recording....

Should be pretty smooth with those adaptors. Cheers!

Can a USB mic like Rode podcaster work with this?
