Introducing the Zoom H6studio: The Next Level of Portable Audio Recording!

Zoom has just unveiled its latest innovation, the H6studio, a powerful upgrade to the H5studio portable recorder. Designed with meticulous upgrades such as advanced preamps, six input channels, and cutting-edge 32-bit float recording, the H6studio is set to become an essential tool for videographers, musicians, and field recordists in search of a compact yet versatile audio solution.

Unmatched Input Options for Creative Possibilities

Unlike its predecessor, the H5studio, which only allowed four inputs, the H6studio features an impressive setup with four XLR/TRS combo jacks and two additional inputs through its innovative interchangeable capsule system. This means you can record up to six independent audio sources alongside a stereo mix simultaneously! Whether you're capturing the ambiance of a cooking show or the dynamic sounds of an outdoor music performance, the H6studio’s versatility is a game-changer.

Experience the Future of Audio: 32-bit Float Recording!

One of the stellar features retained from the H5studio is the revolutionary 32-bit float recording capability. This technology, combined with Zoom's sophisticated dual A/D converters, provides a remarkable dynamic range and virtually eliminates the risk of clipping, making it perfect for unpredictable audio environments. With physical gain knobs now adjusting post-conversion digital gain, you can fine-tune recordings without compromising the integrity of the original sound.

Upgraded Mic Capsules and Superb Preamps!

The H6studio comes equipped with the brand-new XYH-5s capsule, featuring 19.4 mm diaphragms arranged in a 90° XY configuration. It excels in handling audio up to 140 dB SPL, delivering both detailed and coherent stereo recordings. Additionally, Zoom's F-series preamps bring an impressive -127 dBu equivalent input noise rating, known for producing clean, natural sound that outperforms earlier models.

Connectivity Like Never Before!

This powerhouse doesn’t stop at inputs; it also boasts extensive connectivity options! In addition to the four XLR/TRS inputs, the H6studio includes a 3.5 mm stereo line input, a dedicated output for cameras, and a separate headphone out. It doubles as a 6×2 USB audio interface for various devices—including Mac, PC, iOS, and Android—supporting 16-, 24-, and 32-bit float capture. Plus, users can livestream while recording a backup on microSD cards (supporting up to 2TB)!

Packed with Features to Enhance Your Workflow!

Other standout features include: phantom power on the combo inputs, +4 dBu line-level support, a mono mode great for interviews, built-in low-cut filters, and convenient normalize and export functions for WAV files. You’ll also appreciate the variable speed playback, A-B repeat playback, and a recording start tone for easy synchronization with video.

Power and Portability Beyond Compare!

The H6studio can sustain your recording sessions for up to 15 hours on just four AA batteries (without phantom power) and can be powered via USB or an optional AC adapter. Zoom plans to offer additional compatible capsules, including the highly anticipated WLM1 dual-channel wireless capsule expected in 2026.

The Ideal Bridge Between Zoom’s Product Lines!

Positioned expertly between Zoom's Handy recorders and their larger F-series multitrack units, the H6studio strikes the perfect balance of enhanced inputs and professional-grade features in a more portable design. For creators seeking both portability and flexibility, the H6studio is poised to redefine possibilities in audio recording.
