Next Generation 3.0 Capsule System Find the Capsule That’s Right for You The H6essential sports essential versatility designed to support creators of every kind. To this end, the H6essential has a removable X/Y mic capsule that can be swapped with several optional modules to fit the needs of your specific application. XYH-6e Stereo Mic Capsule (Included) The default capsule that comes with the H6essential, this adds two high-quality microphones in a X/Y stereo arrangement. This arrangement is most sensitive to audio directly in front while also capturing a clean stereo image. SSH-6e Stereo Shotgun Capsule The SSH-6e includes a highly-directional microphone to pick up sound in the center, as well as a bidirectional side mic to pick up sounds from the left and right. The mid-side stereo image is adjustable from mono to ultrawide stereo pickup. You can capture dialogue with the center mic, then mix in the desired amount of environmental sound captured by the side mics. EXH-6e Input Capsule If you need more inputs, simply plug in the EXH–6e dual XLR–1/4″ TRS combo capsule. This allows you to connect two additional microphones, instruments, or line-level sources. Phantom power can be applied if you connect power to the USB-C port on the capsule. There is a 3.5mm jack for line- or mic-level input with plug-in power available for lavalier mics. Special Features More Dynamic Range With 32-bit float and dual AD converters the H6essential captures huge dynamic range. This gives creators the ability to record perfect audio, clip-free every time. Ultraclean Preamps The four XLR-1/4″ TRS combo inputs feature Zoom’s ultraclean preamps that support 48V phantom power and 4 dBu professional line-level input. The onboard X/Y microphones can capture sound up to a booming 135 dB SPL, equivalent to a jet airplane taking off. Audio Interface Capability Send audio via USB-C in 32-bit float while simultaneously recording to an SD card. When connected to a Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android device using the USB-C Port, the H6essential can be used as a 6-in / 2-out audio interface.
