Capture Flawless Audio With 32-Bit Float Recording

H6essential's 32-bit float recording opens up a world of sonic depth and clarity. By exceeding the dynamic range of 24-bit, 32-bit float prevents clipping even when confronted with massive SPLs up to 135dB. Playback is silky smooth as well, with its high resolution excellently reproducing subtle details. Dual AD converters provide ultraclean preamps to faithfully capture each source and with 32-bit float's high headroom, you can finally record worry-free, knowing you'll capture usable audio every time.

Record Six Tracks Simultaneously for Total Flexibility

The H6essential allows you to record up to six tracks at once, enabling you to capture every element of your production. Use the four XLR/TRS inputs to connect four mics or instruments, while the XYH-6e capsule provides an additional stereo pair. For example, when recording a band, you can mic the guitar amp, bass amp, drums and vocals all discretely. Podcasters will appreciate the ability to interview up to four guests. Whatever your recording needs, the six-track H6essential delivers.

Choose the Right Mic With Interchangeable Capsules

To provide recording flexibility, the H6essential features an interchangeable capsule system. The included XYH-6e X/Y capsule is great for capturing a wide stereo image or, swap it out for the optional SSH-6e stereo shotgun capsule when focused dialog recording is needed. If you need more inputs, add two more XLRs with the EXH-6e capsule, with optional capsules, you can tailor the H6essential to each recording situation.
