Re: New member: How about the Zoom H6
Hi again Hamit. Yes I did listen to Neil's demo on the LS100 and indeed I was torn as to whither to buy that model or the Zoom. I think that I eventually went with the Zoom after Neil did a mic comparison, under the same studio conditions and it appeared to me that the Zoom just came ahead. Now that I've got it, I regret a little not going for the Olympus as talking menus are almost essential for blind users. But many of the menu functions don't really need to be changed much. I suppose if I was to use the microphone capsules one day then Phantom power through one or two of the XLR's, the next day, then I'd need to be able to turn Phantom power off and on. Now if Zoom and Olympus got together, well then we would all be happy until the next new development. I must say the function for fixing the upper sound level on theLS100 sounds very attractive and along with talking menus, then it must be a fine device indeed. Very best wishes.

It's the friend you said told you that the H6 can record in Blu-Ray Disk quality. My name is Hamit. The I is pronounced with a long e sound. What I mean with the Blu-Ray thing is that Blu-Ray movies are recorded in this HD format. I just want to comment on your comment on how not many people use this. Well for 1 I'm hesitant because of the very fact it doesn't talk. I get kinda confused. So I wander how many more people use the LS 100. Which esecentially is kinda a talking H4N. In that it's got H4N like features. Because it's made by Olympus. I love it.

Following with interest your discussions today on digital recorders. I note that a member mentioned my hero, Mr. Neil Ewers. I've had a few devices but after listening to Neil's demo of the Zoom H6, I went out and bought one. To find out more about this device, you can listen to what Neil thinks about it at: All things Neil, at: http://ravenswood.org/AllThingsNeal/ As to what I think about it! I must agree with Neil, it's the best handy recorder that I have ever come across. I can record a folk band with it's built-in XY microphone capsule at 24 bitt, 196 Khz in WAV format and it sounds even better than CD quality. Another internet friend, who listened to my recording said that it was in blue ray quality, whatever that means? all I know that it's a fantastic device and although a bit expensive, very much considering before choosing a new device. The only problem I have is the fact that hardly any blind people have yet started to use it, apart from Neil and myself, so there is little support out there, for example, understanding the menu structures etc. The Zoom H6 does not speak at all so it's a matter of getting sighted assistance to set it up before you start recording. It has four XLR sockets plus the Xy and Right-side microphone detachable modules and has line in as well as a line out function, enabling this device to take over the audio on a DSLR, or to enable monitoring of recording as you get it, via a AV unit. I'd be very interested in meeting any other blind users of this device or even join a support mailing list. Any advice very welcomed. Very best wishes. Andy. I'd be
RE: New member: How about the Zoom H6
Yeah pluss the LS 100 almost had no floor noise. It was epic! I wish Sound Devices would team up with Olympus or at least take note of what they do. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Andy Logue Sent: Tuesday, December 22, 2015 4:35 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Subject: Re: New member: How about the Zoom H6 Hi again Hamit.
