Hi Dane.
I purchased the H6 for, I believe, £470 in December of last year, from a
London shop.
It's very difficult to use as a blind guy and you will need sighted
assistance when setting every thing up, ready for a session.
Mr Neil Ewars, once from Blind Cool Teck, did a podcast on this machine
last year and I have that podcast whenever you request it .
Neil - said something like this.
The Zoom H6 is in my opinion the best portable, 6 track digital hand held
recorder in the world.
It can record at 24 bit Wave at 195Khz - whatever that means.
All I can tell you my friend that everything I've recorded has been at the
highest quality and I also would vote it the best recorder I've ever had.
I like to record local bands in my pub and the quality would amaze you.
2 weeks ago I recorded what was arguably, the worst thunder and lighten
episode of my 62 year old life and I posted it off to friends on another
list and they all thought that the quality was amazing.
So my advice and I don't really know as much as you guys, is go for the Zoom
H6 every time.
neil is an audio engineer of huge experience and I concur with his
assessment regarding this device.
Very best wishes .
Andy.

Subject: thoughts on the Zoom H6 Handy Recorder
Hi!
Think another list member wrote to say that they had one of these recorders.
I’d be interested to know what the user of the Zoom H6 thinks of his
recorder, I have the Zoom H1 and I’ve been using it for the best part of 6
years now.
There are some things to be aware of with the Zoom but those things can be
easily dealt with if you have a computer and audio editing software.
or example the automatic level control doesn’t have quick recovery though
this might be ideal for some circumstances.
In any case I use manual record level and fix any level problems with
Amadeus Pro or something similar.
I’ve used the recorder long enough to know where the 0 DB point is in the
level adjustment and one can always turn on the Auto Level control for a
reference point and adjust to it.
