High SPLs welcome
The XYH-6 contains a pair of matched unidirectional (cardioid) capsules. The angle of the microphones can be switched from a 90° angle to a 120° angle, thus widening the stereo image. The XYH-6's transfer factor is 8.9 mV/Pa, and the limiting sound pressure level is an incredible 136 dB. The maximum gain is around 47 dB. The capsule is fitted with a mini-jack connector with 2.5 V support for external microphones. The stereo signal is achieved thanks to the slight level differences of sound capture made by each outward-facing capsule.

Zoom device compatible
The XYH-6 capsule is compatible with a number of Zoom recording devices, the prerequisite being that the required fixture is present. These include handheld recorders such as the H5 and H6, field recorders such as the F4 and F8, and even the Q8 audio/video recorder and the U-44 portable audio interface. The XYH-6 capsule provides not only mono-compatible stereo recording, but also has good vibration dampening, making it the perfect “go to” tool for vocal and instrumental recording - as well as soundtrack creation for video projects. Owners of compatible Zoom recording units will thus be able to make the most of the XYH-6 capsule, in a wide variety of settings.

About Zoom
Founded in 1983, the Japanese company Zoom manufactures a variety of audio equipment, including a range of portable "handy" recorders as well as multi-effects processors, effects pedals, drum machines, and samplers. Over the past thirty years, the company has built a reputation for producing innovative yet affordable products based on original microchip designs. Since the Zoom-9002 (an ultra-compact multi-effects processor that can be attached to a guitar strap) was introduced in 1990, Zoom has become one of the leaders in digital audio processing.
Versatility at work
The XYH-6's range of applications is very broad indeed, thanks in part to its compatibility with a wide variety of devices. Whether you're recording podcasts, video soundtracks, or commentary, the XYH-6 is an ideal solution – and it is also great for recording live performances or ambient sounds. When used in combination with an H5 recorder, for example, the XYH-6 can record the “room” or audience at a venue, while the main output of the mixer is directly connected to the inputs of the recorder.
