Crystal-clear 32-bit float recording
Transparent 32-bit float recording has become a standard of Zoom's portable recorder models. Along with its iconic X/Y stereo microphone design, the H6studio retains nothing less than crystalline audio quality, making the unit perfect for content creation, filmmaking, field recording, instrument capture, and more — all while keeping your audio levels balanced for less work later on. Plus, thanks to Zoom's next-generation 3.0 capsule system, the H6studio gives you more options to use the right mic for your recordings.
Eight tracks for limitless ways to record
Limiting yourself to one track means you'll be recording take after take. Zoom has curbed this issue by outfitting the H6studio with a whopping 8 simultaneous recording and playback tracks. You'll have access to 6 separate input channels with the inclusion of an onboard stereo input. Combined with the recorder's dual combo inputs and modern X/Y microphones, you'll be given endless ways to record the perfect take in one go.
External noise protection
Adding to it's studio-grade sound design, the H6studio comes with onboard RF shielding. By naturally blocking smartphone, Wi-Fi, and other external noise sources with ease, you can rest assured your recordings will stay crystal-clear without the threat of electronic interference.

Combo-input audio interfacing
As if its recording power alone weren't enough, Zoom equipped the H6studio with an extensive I/O for professional and portable audio interfacing. For starters, the recorder's four onboard XLR/TRS combo inputs provide connectivity for several instruments and microphones. Likewise, a mic/line in offers an easy way to include an external auxiliary input into the mix. Monitoring your project is as easy as it gets: simply connect your external headphones or utilize the recorder's built-in speaker to play your recordings for the entire room. To top it all off, the H6studio's onboard stereo input makes recording your favorite external instruments and devices more authentic than ever before.

Topped off with the ability to function as a fully-featured USB microphone, there's no creation session that the H6studio can't handle.
