Usage Precautions

Interference with other electrical equipment

In consideration of safety, the has been designed to minimize its emission of electromagnetic waves and to suppress interference from external electromagnetic waves. However, equipment that is very susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic waves could result in interference if placed nearby. If this occurs, place the and the other device farther apart.

With any type of electronic device that uses digital control, including the , electromagnetic interference could cause malfunction, corrupt or destroy data and result in other unexpected trouble. Always use caution.

Cleaning

Use a soft cloth to clean the exterior of the unit if it becomes dirty. If necessary, use a damp cloth that has been wrung out well.

Never use abrasive cleansers, wax or solvents such as alcohol, benzene or paint thinner.

Breakdown and malfunction

If the unit becomes broken or malfunctions, immediately disconnect the AC adapter, turn the power OFF and disconnect other cables. Contact the store where you bought the unit or ZOOM service with the following information: product model, serial number and specific symptoms of breakdown or malfunction, along with your name, address and telephone number.

Introduction

Thank you very much for purchasing a ZOOM Handy Recorder.The has the following features.

Ɣ Stereo mics can be changed according to use

An XY mic that can record sound images with depth and an MS mic that allows the stereo width to be adjusted freely are included.You can switch mics according to the situation as you would switch lenses on an SLR camera.

Options include a highly-directional shotgun mic and an external XLR/TRS input.

Ɣ Record up to 6 track at once

In addition to the swappable stereo mic (L/R input), the main unit has 4 XLR/TRS inputs (Inputs 1–4).

Use these to simultaneously record a maximum of 6 tracks, including ambiance, narration, a stereo image and the voices of multiple performers, for example.

Ɣ Advanced recording features

•The XY mic, which has newly-developed 14.6mm large diaphragm mics, records the full range of frequencies with good stereo placement.

•Using the L/R input mics, you can simultaneously record a backup file with a recording level that is 12 dB less than the regular recording.You can use this backup recording if an unexpected loud noise should cause the regular recording to distort, for example.

H6 Handy Recorder

•Inputs 1–4 have increased maximum gain compared to previous models. In response to popular demand, they have independent PAD switches that allow them to easily handle +4dB input.They can also provide phantom power (+12V/+24V/+48V).

•All input volume (gain) levels can be adjusted quickly by hand using dedicated knobs.

Ɣ Useful operation features

•High-capacity SDXC cards can be used as recording media, allowing even longer recording times.

•The color LCD is positioned to be easy to read even when mounted on an SLR camera.

•In addition to the standard headphones output, a line output jack is built-in.This allows you to send the audio signal to a video camera or other device while monitoring with headphones.

•When the is connected by USB, in addition to card reader functions, it can be used as an audio interface that is either 2 IN and 2 OUT or 6 IN and 2 OUT (driver required for 6 IN use with Windows).

•Of course, a tuner, a metronome and playback speed and pitch adjustments are included among the useful functions that are also found in other models in the H series.

•An optional remote control (wired) is also available.

Please read this manual carefully to fully understand the functions of the so that you can make the most of it for many years. After reading the manual, please keep it with the warranty in a safe place.

Mic overview

The includes XY and MS mics.These mics can be swapped according to your need.

A shotgun mic (SGH-6) and an external XLR/TRS input (EXH-6) are also available as optional accessories. ( P.12) The input from these mics (L/R input) is recorded on the L/R tracks.

XY mic

This has two crossing directional mics.

By rotating the mics, you can switch the width of the recording field between 90° and 120°.

L	R	L	R
	90°		120°

Features:

Newly-developed large diaphragm mics enable low and high frequencies to be recorded with good stereo placement while sounds in the center are captured clearly.

This mic is ideal for recording at close and medium ranges when aimed at specific sound sources to capture a three-di- mensional sound with natural depth and width.

Use examples: solo performances, chamber music, live rehearsals, field recording

NOTE

The XY mic has a MIC/LINE input jack that can be used to connect an external mic or line-level device.This jack can also provide plug-in power to mics that use it. ( P.88)

MS mic

This mic combines a unidirectional mid mic that captures sound from the center with a bidirectional side mic that captures sound from the left and right.

By adjusting the side mic level, you can change the stereo width as you like. If you record in MS-RAW mode, you can adjust the side mic level after recording to change the stereo width.

	Mid mic
L	R	Mid mic
	Side mic

Side mic level

Features:

This mic can capture a wide and detailed stereo image, making it ideal for recording wide open spaces with multiple sound sources.

With the side mic off it can also be used for mono recording. Use examples: orchestras, live concerts, soundscapes

Use examples with side mic off: interviews, narrations, meetings

Connecting and disconnecting mics

Mic connection

1. Remove the protective caps from the main unit and the mic.

2. While pressing the buttons on the sides of the mic, connect it to the main unit, inserting the connector completely.

H6 Handy Recorder

Mic disconnection

1. While pressing the buttons on the sides of the mic, pull it out of the main unit.

NOTE

•When disconnecting a mic, do not use too much force. Doing so could damage the mic or the main unit.

•Recording will stop if a mic is removed during recording.

•If a mic will not be attached for a long time, put on the protective cap.

4–1 Inputs to devices mics/other Connecting

Connecting mics/other devices to Inputs 1–4

In addition to the input (L/R) from an XY or MS mic, the also has Inputs 1–4. These can be used together to record up to six tracks at one time.

Mics, instruments and other equipment can be connected to Inputs 1–4 and recorded independently to tracks 1–4.

Connecting mics

Connect dynamic mics and condenser mics to the Input 1–4 XLR jacks.

Phantom power (+12V/+24V/+48V) can be supplied to condenser mics. ( P.87)

Connecting instruments/other devices

Connect keyboards and mixers directly to the Input 1–4TRS jacks.

Direct input of passive guitars and basses is not supported. Connect these instruments through a mixer or effects device, for example.

Set the PAD switch to −20 when connecting a mixer or other device with a standard output level of +4dB.

Stereo inputs

By linking tracks 1 and 2 (or tracks 3 and 4) as a stereo tracks, Inputs 1/2 (or Inputs 3/4) can be used for stereo input. ( P.26)

In this case, Input 1 (Input 3) becomes the left channel and Input 2 (Input 4) becomes the right channel.
