Zoom H6 Essential Gravador digital portátil

Zoom H6essential — 32-Bit Float 6-Track Handheld Recorder

The Zoom H6essential stands as Zoom's flagship 6-track handheld recorder, engineered around 32-bit float capture and dual A/D converters to ensure distortion-free audio in every scenario. It comes with the XYH-6e stereo X/Y capsule, four XLR-1/4" TRS combo inputs, and a 2-inch full-color LCD with real-time waveform view.

What Sets the H6essential Apart

Supporting 32-bit float recording, the 3.0 capsule system lets users hot-swap the X/Y module for the SSH-6e stereo shotgun or EXH-6e dual XLR expansion capsule without shutting down the recorder. Menu descriptions are available in seven languages to guide visually impaired users through all settings. With the optional TCA-1 adapter or ATOMOS UltraSync BLUE, wireless timecode becomes possible.

Recording Engine, I/O, and Power

A 32-bit float / 96 kHz A/D engine, together with dual analog-to-digital converters, gives this model headroom to handle everything from the quietest whisper to loud sources, all without touching the gain control. Four combo inputs deliver clean preamps with +48 V phantom power; meanwhile, the X/Y stereo capsule handles up to 135 dB SPL.

• Recording Tracks: 6 simultaneous — record a full band or multi-mic podcast in a single take
• With 32-bit float / 96 kHz A/D resolution, the recorder offers clip-free capture thanks to dual AD converters.
• Two interchangeable X/Y stereo (cardioid) capsules provide on-board mics for flexible setups, handling sources up to 135 dB SPL.
• Use microSDHC or microSDXC cards for storage—expandable to 1 TB.
• On four AA batteries, battery life stretches up to 30 hours.

Built for Filmmakers, Podcasters, and Musicians

The H6essential is an ideal pick for creators needing multi-source capture in one handheld device. Documentary sound engineers benefit from four clean XLR inputs plus wireless timecode for camera sync. Podcasters can host roundtable discussions with up to four microphones and still capture ambient sound with the X/Y capsule. Musicians enjoy the extended headroom of 32-bit float when tracking rehearsals.

The Zoom Essential Series and 32-Bit Float

Part of Zoom's Essential Series, this instrument is the company's first handheld recorder family centered on 32-bit float recording and accessible features for visually impaired users. The 3.0 capsule system represents a generational step beyond the original H6, now built for a wider dynamic range supported by 32-bit float technology.
