Amazing product, and it was BRAND NEW!

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2021

Incredible deal for a piece of gear I needed on a job. I had a table read I was supposed to record that required 5 people with their own microphones. So I fed one mic into my camera, and the other 4 went into separate inputs on this device, all recorded into their own tracks simultaneously. It's basically all the things people love about the H4N but with 4 tracks (plus the stereo mics, so technically 6 tracks) instead of just the 2 on the H4n. What's even MORE amazing, is that this "renewed" product seemed brank spankin' new! It looks like the box was opened and then put back together carefully, all the original equipment and paperwork was in the packaging it ships with if new, the included batteries were even still sealed in plastic! Ours came from Alto Music, which I happen to know is a local music store that moved farther away from me (I have fond memories of them when they were closer), so not only was this a great deal on a practically new product, the name of the seller gave me nostalgia.
I guess this would count as Open Box more than "renewed", so color me impressed! Thank you for making this product available at such an excellent price!

Convenient, versatile

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2023

Use at band practice. The Xlr inputs allow for mic’ing and mixing separately on Garage Band and the results are surprisingly listenable. Everything comes through great, just dangle with the input knobs to keep everything from red-lining . Songs exist that would have been lost in the moment because we could revisit riffs we jammed on in the moment. Has become essential.

Great recorder, one gripe though

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2023

So far, this recorder is great! I taped one live performance with it using two of the inputs and the room mics and it's great - even when I set the levels too high for the first half, it simply acted as a limiter instead of clipping, I lost some dynamics but there was none of that ugly digital clipping that I got with previous generations of Zoom recorders. And setting the levels is much easier, just turn a dial for each input and watch the clip lights and easy-to-read meters rather than scrolling through menus like in my previous Zoom recorders.

One gripe though - why on earth did they use the larger and mostly obsolete USB Mini instead of the extremely common USB Micro? Now I have to be super careful not to lose this cable, when they could just as easily designed it to take a cable that we all have piles of spares sitting around in our gloveboxes and junk drawers. Even USB C would have been better, at least then we could run to the store and buy one if needed.

Absolutely stunning recording quality. Multiple tracks enable separation.

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2023

I use this utility to record rehearsal sessions of my band. I previously used the two channel zoom recorder that was using to stereo mics to record the band, and it sounded OK, but not amazing by any means. The biggest issue was the voice, vocals were not properly sitting in the mix, because of all the reverberation from the room

Once I got this item, in addition to the stair, a recording of the room, I grab the third channel straight off the mixer. Why the vocals are all summed up. Then I am Portadown to logic adjusted. The levels mastered the waves and oh my God the difference is on believable , if you find yourself in a situation where to channel recording is not enough, you cannot go wrong with this item .

Renewed is like new.

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2023

I bought this because it was $100 less than new as it was refurbished. It was perfect. I've owned the Zoom R16, and the original H2. I needed something that had inputs and could be portable with a tripod mounting option. I was hesitant to use batteries, but after 6 hours of recording live shows with the AA batteries that were shipped with the H6 AND were opened/used already, the meter is at 2/3 power. That alone is worth so much as having to use a power supply can be a hassle at times in crowded or small venues where placement can be limited. Also, I drum in the bands I'm recording, so simple and practical is important.

Fantastic little recorder

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2021

Initial use so far is impressive, great sound quality with the included stereo microphone. Though not totally intuitive, navigation of the menu isn't difficult.
Use of the 3.5mm microphone input was a bit disappointing, that's not the fault of the recorder, but noise caused by using extension cables over 20ft. Recording with XLR condenser mics is clear and true on playback.

Sounded great on my podcast!

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2021

Used it to record a podcast paired with some Samson Q2Us. You can look it up on Spotify under "The Seventh Mile." All i did in post production for the last episode was add a denoiser effect set at 10% in adobe audition (very low setting, plus we were recording in an untreated room so this is more than okay with me). I had the gain set to 6 and it sounded great to me even with my monitoring headphones on! I think for mics that are more gain hungry like the sm7b a cloudlifter or fethead would probably be needed, but otherwise its a great and portable solution for audio recording!
