OVERVIEW
Pro Sound Every Time You Press Record
The H6studio features large-diaphragm XY microphones, four studio-grade preamps, and 32-bit float recording with dedicated gain knobs. Built with F-Series technology, it’s the most advanced Handy Recorder to date.
The Power of F-Series Preamps
The H6studio’s preamps deliver ultra-clean audio (-127 dBu EIN). Paired with dual A/D converters and 32-bit float, they provide
132 dB of dynamic range to capture every nuance.
The Perfect Pair
The onboard mics are stacked at a 90º angle to form a perfect X/Y pair. This minimizes phase cancellation commonly experienced with AB and other mic arrangements that can result in hollow sound.
Bigger Mics, Bigger Sound
The H6studio’s 19.4mm microphones capture a rich, flat-response with a wide dynamic range that can withstand 140 dB SPL, enough for a jet engine.
Switch Formats, Not Recorders
32-bit float and 16/24-bit formats each have their advantages. 32-bit float prevents clipping but requires post-production. 16/24-bit eliminates the need for post-processing but requires gain adjustment to prevent clipping.
The H6studio offers the best of both worlds with 32-bit float and dedicated gain knobs—no clipping and no need for post-production. And with the dedicated format switch, you can adapt your workflow quickly.
6 Tracks Plus a Stereo Mix
Record with sample rates from 44.1 to 192 kHz. The H6studio can capture up to 8 tracks* at once - 6 individual tracks plus a stereo mix.
The Noise Stops Here
Carefully designed RF shielding blocks interference from smartphones and Wi-Fi, while the shock-mounted mics help reduce handling noise.
Limiters That Look Ahead
The H6studio features “advanced look-ahead” limiters which anticipate potential overloads and prevent distortion before it reaches your track.
Four XLR/TRS Inputs + Stereo Mini Jack
The H6studio includes four locking XLR/TRS inputs with +48V phantom power and +4dBu line-level support. It also has a stereo mini jack with plug-in power.
Next Generation Capsule System
The H6studio’s 3.0 capsule system* supports 32-bit float and gives creators more options to use the right mic for their recording. Use the included mic connector cover when no capsules are needed.
Accurate Wireless Timecode
The TCA-1 timecode adapter* generates and outputs timecode or jams to an external clock with .5 ppm accuracy. You can also receive wireless timecode from the ATOMOS® UltraSync BLUE
