Zoom H6
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Zoom H5 hits your specs. Lots of used H5’s and H6’s out there.
- I've tested this with a Zoom H6, Canon C200, Canon C500 MKII, Sony FX3, and Sony FX9. ... All of which works perfectly normal with my other MKE 600s.
- It might be time to consider a small portable recorder like a Zoom H6 that will allow you to multi track record
Cons
- I have a Zoom H6 recorder and a Sennheiser MKH 416.
- I also carry an H6 for a “crash” recorder in a circumstance where the recorder might be at risk.
- I did ONE “labor only” gig, and they provided me with a Zoom H6, and Rode Go lavs, a heavy ass aluminum boom, and some off brand cheapo mic on a terrible shock mount while my $20k kit sat at home.
- When they say gear provided might just be a zoom h6 and some wireless go.
- To add, ideally one of the new H5/6s, the original gen have noisy af preamps.

my setup includes a zoom h6 and saramonic uwmic10 kit that both rely on aa batteries
I disrecommend the H6.
So for example all the sets that ive worked on and actually got paid (started doing sound in film school) i had access to zoom h6 (4 channels, 24bit, no support for time code)
