Zoom H6essential Handy Recorder Bundle XLR Cables

The Zoom H6essential Handy Recorder is Zoom's flagship handheld recording device, built around 32-bit float technology across all six tracks. This means the recorder captures audio with such an expansive dynamic range that setting input levels becomes unnecessary — sounds from a pin drop to a 135 dB SPL jet engine are recorded cleanly, with full flexibility to adjust volume in post-production. The four XLR/TRS combo inputs feature Zoom's low-noise preamps with +48V phantom power, supporting everything from dynamic stage microphones to studio condenser mics. The included X/Y stereo microphone capsule is hot-swappable, so you can replace it with optional Zoom capsule modules tailored to specific applications like shotgun recording or mid-side stereo capture.

Beyond standalone recording, the H6essential functions as a 6-in/2-out USB audio interface via its USB-C connection, compatible with PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices. It can stream audio to your device and record all six tracks to an SD card simultaneously — a powerful capability for livestreamers and podcasters who want both a live feed and a backup recording. The 2-inch color display with waveform monitoring provides visual feedback during sessions. This bundle packages the recorder with a Zoom accessory pack, a 32GB micro SD card with adapter, two XLR cables, four AA batteries with a charger, and a cleaning cloth, giving you a complete recording kit ready to deploy straight out of the box.
