When it came time to choose an external recorder to handle my audio needs for videography, the Zoom H6 was my choice, and it certainly did not disappoint. However, what I came to find out was that among the many great aspects of this unit, there is one particular feature that is both surprisingly good, and not even something I considered purchasing the unit for in the first place.
In this review, I'll talk about the many specifications and features of the Zoom H6, and why I chose it over other popular external recorder models like the Zoom H4n. Additionally, I'll also go over my preferred settings for the unit that you'll want to consider if you shoot video, and provide samples of some of the different ways you can capture audio with the unit. Last, I'll go over the one feature that has impressed me and saved me on a number of gigs.
The Zoom H6 is an excellent all around choice for an external/field recorder, and has become an essential part of my audio toolkit because of it.
