Product Description

From the manufacturer

- EXH-6 Dual XLR/TRS Combo input capsule
The Zoom EXH-6 Dual XLR/TRS combo input capsule
Expand Your Horizons
You can never have too many inputs. Zoom's EXH-6 expander module adds two more combo XLR/TRS inputs to your H5 or H6, allowing you to connect extra microphones or line-level devices like mixers and portable music players. It turns the H5 into a four-input recorder and makes the H6 the smallest six-input recorder on the planet!
- Expander module for the Zoom H5 and H6 Handy Recorders
- Adds two combo XLR/TRS inputs
- Accepts both mic- and line-level sources
- Analog-style gain controls for fast setting of input level
- -20 dB pads for each input
- 5-volt preamp minimizes distortion even at high volumes
Connectivity Plus
The EXH-6 allows you to connect up to six external microphones or line-level sources to your H6, and up to four mics or line-level devices to your H5. Plug it in and enjoy the power of a portable studio in the palm of your hands.
Use the Right Microphone for the Job
Professional photographers and videographers choose the right lens to capture the optimum visual image. Why should audio be any different? Zoom's unique system of interchangeable input capsules allow you to always use the right microphone for the audio recording you're creating. The capsules snap on in seconds, allowing them to be swapped out as easily as the lens of a camera.
Zoom provides plenty of variety, too: Two different X/Y stereo mics for live music and concert recording, two different mid-side mics (one standard and one shotgun) for film and videography, two types of shotgun mics (one mono and one stereo), even an expander capsule that allows you to connect two additional external microphones or line-level sources.
SGH-6 Shotgun Mic Capsule
The SGH-6 monophonic Shotgun mic capsule allows dialogue and narration to be recorded at a distance, without an obtrusive mic in the scene, making it perfect for film and video shoots, live theater, and ENG (electronic newsgathering) applications.
SSH-6 Stereo Mid-Side Shotgun Mic Capsule
The SSH-6 stereo mid-side shotgun capsule allows you to capture dialogue with the mid (center) mic, and then blend in the desired amount of environmental sound captured by the side mic in postproduction.
MSH-6 MS (Mid-Side) Mic Capsule
Step up to a whole new level of precision sound-shaping with the MSH-6, which contains a forward-facing, unidirectional mic (the “Mid”) and a side-facing, bi-directional mic (the “Side”). It allows you to capture a fully mono-compatible stereo image that can be adjusted during recording or in postproduction, making it ideal for film, video, and television projects.
XYH-6 Large Diaphragm X/Y Mic Capsule
The XYH-6 provides dual large diaphragm mic elements in an X/Y stereo configuration. It offers adjustable width—choose 90 degrees for a more focused sound or 120 degrees for a wider stereo image—and is a great choice for live recording and for capturing sound effects in the field.

And so quickly and easily. This thing is built like a tank. I was so impressed at the "heft" of it. It's so solidly built and heavy..not plastic. It clicks on solidly and give me the additional two inputs that makes the H6 be the best it can be.
Fantastic value. Definitely don't snooze on this one.

Fantastic value. Definitely don't snooze on this one.
The way I use it for a presentation video recording is to use all of the panel people's microphones run directly into my unit (utilizing these 2 extra inputs) and convert the 1/8" line back to XLR and send it to their system as a polished finished signal.
Pros:
+ pretty heavy build quality
+ quality matches the internal connections
+ secured connection to the Zoom h6 base
Cons:
- non locking XLR connections (this is one of the h6 design downfalls). It's not really designed with that level of professional use in mind. It'd be nice to have all your connections locked and never worrying that a sound guy might lose connection in his pocket...
If you found this review helpful feel free to click it :)
This is a great add-on to the Zoom H-6. NOTE: It Will Not Send Phantom Power through these XLR connectors.
So you cannot use any Condenser Mic through these connections. I have 2 Tube Mics ( Groove Tube GT 67 ) with their own Power boxes going through these and It sounded Excellent ! So the sound quality is there.

Llegó a tiempo y por el precio sale excelente, la uso en mi H8
ACTUALIZACION: es una opcion excelente para grabar 8 canales, pero considera que tiene menor rango dinamico que los preamps de la h8 y meten un poco mas de ruido de piso que los otros, asi que decide bien que canales vas a meter ahí, pero la verdad es un 8 sobre 10 está excelente por el precio y ayuda muchisimo para poder grabar mas canalitos
