Ray, thank you for your professional presentation. I am in the business called court reporting, testimony taken down by steno, then transcribing legal proceedings such as depositions, but now I have moved into ASR, automated speech recognition. As I can see with the special adapter we can have up to 6 Lavalier condenser mics XLR or using the VXLR adapters we can record six voices. The sound is impeccable and so easy to use a USB cable to dump the audio to the PC which has the voice-to-text technology. We would not use anything else and the H6 with 6 Lavalier mics is so light to transport.

this review has convinced me to grab the zoom h 6 soon

Never used the GH5 but if you run the input too high then you'll get noise on pretty much every camera. So try and increase the level from the H6 and lower the level in the GH5 and see if that helps.

Hi Ray, I have a Sennheiser 416 and a Zoom H4N. I found that when outside with the Sennheiser that in certain circumstances it did not deliver enough power to the microphone. I nearly always had to have it set to 10 or the highest level and even so the output was only going to about -12 dB instead of the -6 that I wanted. Do you think that the H6 will deliver more power so that I can use the 416 fully? Many thanks. You have produced a great video. Brian

Are preamps on H5/H6 as good as Juicedlink? I have been thinking of buying Juicedlink for my H1 to eliminate the background hiss that you get when you directly plugin the recorder to the camera to avoid syncing audio and video during post production. If the preamps are good, i can do away with JL and spend that money on H6

Hi Ray Brilliant Video! was gonna buy the H5 but the H6 leaves it for dead!!! So im 110% sold on buying the H6

I was wondering, is the line out straight analog from the mic capsule to the camera, or is it converted twice, from capsule to digital and from digital to analog lineout and then converted again to digital in the camera?

Another well done review, Ray. Good job. Might have to sell off the H4n cause now I'm having tech envy.

Great review and I’m now subscribed. I’ve heard a lot about this recording people speaking type of audio, but I’m interested in getting a Zoom product for recording a rock band. What are your thoughts on that application?

Hey, thanks a lot for this video. when I connect the mic to my mac via a USB port it goes grey on me although the mac sees it but it doesn't pick up any sound, do you have a tip for me?

Great review Ray! Curious to know if this would be good for us podcasters? I have a few interviews at conferences coming up so want to have the right gear. Can you recommend a good mic for a conference lobby environment. Do you think the H5 will do everything I need. Also I record directly into the Roland at home (backed up with call recorder) will the H6/5 be good for this too? Much appreciated.

Thanks for the video. I would like to know more about that equipment. Have you ever used it as a audio interface ?. If the answer is positive have you felt any delay problem while recording. It would be appreciated if you could kindly respond.

Can you connect the Zoom h6 line out to two cameras? I'm using a blackmagic atem switcher with two Panasonic Lumix G7 for livestreaming.

Thank you for this video. So helpful. I am new to video,recording and have purchased the zoom h6 plus 2 rode wireless mics. Do I need to be recording into the dslr as well as the H6? Also - it comes with a 2gb memory card - what do you advise is the most efficient size of memory card. You mention 64gb. Thanks again.

Thank you. I had issues with Line Out to a Canon 5D Mark III. Camera was set to Manual Audio and it recorded too loud. Should it have been set to Automatic? Or is there a setting in the Zoom H6 to control levels for the camera?

Hello Ray, thanks for the nice video! I wanted to ask for yoru advice: I’m planning to video record my string quartet while performing a few tunes and was thinking of using a matched pair of Rode M5 Condenser Microphones in ORTF stereo technique with a Zoom H6 recorder for the audio. My question is afterwards, where do I edit the files? Should I get a software like pro tools or Logic pro? Also is it better to record with the Zoom or use a mixer like Allen and Heath and record directly in pro tool? And for the video editing I should use a different software like Final Cut or similar? I hope you don’t mind me asking… but I wanted to start in the right way! Thanks!!

Thanks Ray so much for this informative video as all yours are. I'm considering buying one of this ( Zoom H5 or Zoom H6 ) to use it with Rode NTG 4+ No budget issue so shall I go for the H6 as it has more features. and am I going to miss much if I pick the H5. no need for more than 2 XLR input.

Nice video Ray, please when are u gonna review the Zoom F8 too?

How would this handle line level peaking up to +10dbU coming off my Mackie 2404VLZ4? Info on how it handles hot line level would be appreciated.

Nice review. While you can record every input to separate channels, you can also configure channels 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 to record two separate stereo files. *CASSETTE DIGITIZING USING AUTO RECORD* Another feature I've found really useful makes use of this. When I want to digitize old cassette tapes I hook the output of the (auto reverse) cassette deck to channels 1 & 2 and set it to be a stereo pair. Then I turn on the Auto Record feature which starts recording as soon as it gets a signal. Once it's set up (audio levels, etc.) I just pop in a cassette, rewind it, then hit play. When I notice the cassette isn't turning anymore, maybe hours later, I pop that cassette out and put in another. This gives me one file for each cassette. When I'm done I load the files onto my computer and open them up in Audition, trim the start, the end and the delay between side one and side two. (I may do some other sweetening too like adjust the left-right balance, and clean up any noise.) Easy-peasy.

Will it make a big difference if audio is recorded to the H6 and not to the DSLR or Laptop? Will the audio be cleaner? Thanks, and great video by the way.

@RayOrtega

9 жыл бұрын

Aziz Nikbin the audio will be cleanest when recorded to the H6. If you are going to record and then sync with DSLR footage then make sure you are recording audio with at least the built in mic so you have another audio source to sync it up to.

Just picked up the H6 today. Late to the game -- I know. Two quick questions -- do you ever use Lo Cut at all, especially in my case for recording toasts during a wedding reception? Also, do you shoot 24bit/48kHz? Do you recommend going higher like 24/96? Thanks Ray!

@RayOrtega

6 жыл бұрын

Congrats. I tend to record without a low cut and then add on in post if needed but if you have a low rumble or the guests have heavy plosives then it's something to consider. 24bit/48 is more than enough and in fact if you end up compressing to 16bit for final delivery then you might want to consider 16bit if you don't also process with dithering of the final audio. But mostly I'd go with 24bit/48 if you have the room on the SD card.

I have a question, when you plug in an xlr mic in to the zoom h6, does the h6 record the track in stereo or mono?

@dancassidy7471

Can you record multiple inputs simultaneously? For example, can you record using the X/Y top microphone AND two separate XLR inputs, for total of three, at the same time?
