Was it in this group that I read some critical information about the Zoom H6
recorder? Something about distortion in the ADC-DAC area. I am also thinking
that I read somewhere that they have corrected the circuitry for much better
sound than in the original I don't remember the actual name of who said it
or when.
I don't know if this is what you're referring to, but the input stages have
very little headroom (which isn't surprising considering they're running on
very low voltage rails with battery power). So it is possible to set the gains
low and clip the hell out of the inputs without the meters coming anywhere
near full scale.
Set on line input, a normal +4 input will severely clip, and a -10 consumer
input is likely to clip. Adding an external pad will fix it.
Don't just watch the meters, listen to the output too. Your ears will tell
you when everything is okay.
