Microphone and Recorder shootout for filmmakers 2014 edition Zoom H6 vs H4n vs Audio Technica AT803

Leave a comment

In this video I put the Zoom H6 Handy Recorder head-to-head with the Zoom H4n Handy recorder and see if the new and improved Zoom H6 is indeed new and improved.

I compare the sound quality of the H6 XYH-6 X/Y capsule, the H6 MSH-6 Mid-Side (MS) capsule, and the H4n X/Y built-in microphone.

I also compare their preamps and recording ability using the extremely popular Shure SM58 microphone, the Audio Technica AT803 lavalier microphone, and the insanely affordable Neewer lapel microphone.

See (or hear) which options you like best for your own productions, and let us know in the comment box!

Zoom H6 Handy Recorder unboxing

Leave a comment

In this video I do an unboxing of the Zoom H6 Handy Recorder. I decided to upgrade my Zoom H4n to an H6 mostly for the improved sound quality and the improved workflow. The H6 boots up faster, has easy to adjust volume controls, and has interchangeable microphone capsules.

Stay tuned for more videos of the Zoom H6 Handy Recorder, from reviews, tutorials, and comparisons with the Zoom H4n.

Zoom H4n Introduction How to Record in Stereo with only one Microphone

Leave a comment

In this video, I show how to record in stereo using only one microphone.  This will save you a bit of time in post-production, and ensure that sound will come out of both speakers.

In the next video, I will show how to duplicate the channels of an audio file that was recorded on only one channel.

Filmed using the Canon T2i with a 50mm f/1.8 and the Neewer Lapel Microphone plugged directly into the T2i.

Thank you for watching!
