Overview

The H6 Handy from Zoom is a portable handheld recorder and USB audio interface that features an interchangeable microphone system. The recorder ships with both XY and mid-side microphone modules, foam windscreen, 2GB SD card, four AA batteries, USB cable, Cubase LE and a hard carrying case. Optional module attachments can be purchased for expanded functionality. 

The H6 Handy allows for versatile recording techniques, giving you several options right out of the box. The included XYH-6 XY microphone module is made up of two matched unidirectional condenser microphones and is intended for capturing accurate, phase-correct stereo audio. The module allows you to adjust the angle of the two mics to either 90 degrees, or for a wider stereo image, 120 degrees. 

For situations that call for audio that allows for width control over your stereo image after it has been recorded, the XY module can be switched out for the MSH-6 mid-side stereo microphone module. Contrary to the appearance of the capsule, the mid-side module actually contains two elements positioned on top of one another: a unidirectional mic which faces forward (mid), and a bi-directional mic set perpendicular to it (side). In addition to providing you the ability to adjust the width of your stereo audio after it has been recorded, MS recording also provides true mono compatibility, a factor that comes into play in situations such as television production. 

In addition, the H6 is equipped with four XLR/TRS combo inputs for connecting external mic/line sources such as microphones or mixers. All four inputs and each of the mic modules are equipped with their own preamps with dedicated gain knobs that are easily accessible whether you have the unit mounted to your camera, or strapped over your shoulder. Also, each of the four combo inputs has its own -20dB pad. 

The recorder allows you to record up to six channels at once and stores them to SDXC memory cards up to 128GB in size. It also features a backup-record option that tracks a duplicate of the left and right channels with -12db input gain. This means that if you find that you have tracked your main audio too loud and that distortion has occurred in your audio, you will have a backup stereo mix with 12 db more headroom as a fail-safe. The unit also doubles as a 6-in/2-out USB audio interface and it can be used with your computer running the included Cubase LE or other DAW software.

Overview

New sealed windshield design

A new sealed windshield design further reduces wind noise, giving you crisp sound when shooting outdoors.

Auto power-on/off

When switching on your connected camcorder/DSLR, the Rode VideoMic Pro+ will detect plug-in power from the camera and automatically switch on. When your done recording and there is no longer any power on the cable then the microphone will automatically switch off.

Powered by either the included LB-1 Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery or 2x AA batteries

The Rode VideoMic Pro Plus includes a LB-1 Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery that can provide the mic with over 100 hours of power. While recording or when turned off the microphone's LB-1 battery can be charged via USB. If the included battery is not an option then you can power the mic with two AA batteries. A built-in battery door makes replacing batteries a breeze, and it won't get lost.

Audio safety channel

The audio safety channel makes use of both the left and right audio channels (available on most cameras), and reduces the right channel's sensitivity by 10db to help ensure the signal does not clip when unexpected spikes occur.

Rycote lyre suspension

The Rycote Lyre based shock mounting system separates the VideoMic Pro+ capsule and electronics from its mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone. Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, the Lyre provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional elastic solutions, and will never wear out, sag or snap.

Removable connection. 3.5mm output port instead of a fixed cable

On the Rode VideoMic Pro Plus the 3.5mm jack cable is no longer fixed to the microphone, now if you want to use different length or mini jack cables you can simply plug it into the 3.5mm port on the rear of the microphone.

Two-stage high pass filter: 75hz and 150hz

A two-stage high pass filter option enables shooting clear audio in a variety of conditions. 75hz will reduce low frequencies such as rumble from traffic while 150hz will reduce sound from outside of the human frequency range.

Three stage gain +20db, -10db, 0db

20db, -10db, and 0db gain is selectable from a single button on the rear of the microphone. -10db will enable you to record loud subjects without clipping the audio, while +20db is designed to improve audio quality on DSLR or mirrorless cameras.

High frequency boost

High Frequency Boost will boost high frequencies enhancing detail and clarity in the recording.

Features

Being a directional microphone, the VideoMicro reduces distracting peripheral sounds and focusses on the audio in front of the camera. Its pickup is more forgiving than RØDE’s other on-camera microphones providing a more natural sound when recording indoors. Perfect for capturing incredible audio to accompany inspiring vision.

The microphone body is made from aluminum, giving it a high level of RF rejection, and is finished in RØDE’s high-grade ceramic anti-glare black coating. Included with the VideoMicro is a camera shoe mount featuring a Rycote Lyre shock mount. Featuring a suspension structure composed of a hard-wearing thermoplastic, it is far more effective at minimising unwanted vibrations, handling and cable-borne noise than traditional elastic suspensions. Virtually indestructible, the Rycote Lyre will never sag, snap, wear out or require rethreading to maintain its effectiveness.

Also included is the WS9 synthetic furry wind shield with foam inner cell, designed for use in outdoor scenarios where wind and environmental noise can inhibit recordings. Optionally available is the RØDE SC7, a TRS to TRRS cable that allows the VideoMicro to be used with smartphones, to capture crystal clear, directional sound for video and video applications such as Periscope.
