Zoom - H6 Handy Recorder (6-track)
The Zoom H6 Handy Recorder is a small handheld 6-track recorder. The H6 has an interchangeable microphone/input system that can be swapped out by clipping the Zoom capsules into a housing at the top of the machine. It can also be used as a USB interface to plug directly into a computer with a DAW, and comes with Cubase LE software. This is a great little backup recorder, and can even be used as a primary recorder on smaller projects, or in more low profile/covert situations.
*Please check the confirmed list of approved SD and SDHC cards before purchasing.
