Studio Quality Sound for Any Recording, Anywhere
Pro Audio Everytime 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 F-series preamps deliver ultra-clean audio (-127 dBu EIN). Paired with dual A/D converters and 32-bit float recording, they provide 132 dB of dynamic range capturing every nuance.
Capture Bigger Sound
The H6studio’s 19.4mm microphones capture a rich, flat-response with 123 dB of dynamic range and can withstand 140 dB SPL, enough for a jet engine.
A Perfect Pair
The H6studio’s 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.
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 + Stereo Mix
The H6studio supports sampling rates from 44.1 to 192 kHz. Capture up to 8 tracks* at once - 6 individual tracks plus a stereo mix.
*Up to 8 tracks (6 inputs + 2 stereo mixes) at 96kHZ
Up to 6 tracks (6 inputs) at 192kHZ
The Noise Stops Here
Carefully designed RF shielding blocks interference from smartphones and Wi-Fi. The mics on the XYH-5s capsule use shock mounting to reduce handling noise.
Limiters That Think Ahead
The H6studio’s advanced “look-ahead” limiters catch peaks early to prevent distortion, avoiding clipping in 16/24-bit and removes the need for post-recording adjustments when using 32-bit float.
Four XLR/TRS Inputs + Stereo Mini Jack
The H6studio includes four locking XLR/TRS inputs with +48V phantom power and +4dBu line-level support, plus a stereo mini jack*.
*supports plug-in powered mics.
