Ty -

Fabulous review. Of course I am very interested because I own an H6, which
is my mainstay in multitrack recording. These are delicious little designs,
well thought through and highly capable while still easy to use.
I did want more of a "big picture" of what this thing is right at the
beginning, because I kept wondering if those 4 channels you talked about
were 4 XLR inputs or just two plus the interchangeable mike modules. Is
there a module for two more XLRs, or just two more line 3.5 mm microphone
jacks? That would be limiting, and I would definitely recommend the H6.

There's a module that replaces the microphone assembly on the top with
two XLR connectors. That, along with the two XLR-TRS combo connectors on
the bottom, gives you four XLRs (and no built-in mics) for mics.

Thanks! Sounds like a very useful little piece. I think the modules are the
same for the H5 and H6, but I wonder if they provide for metering and
controls for two extra XLR inputs. I must look that up in my manual.

Six powered XLR mikes on my H6 would take a hell of a toll on battery life
but I think there is an AC power accessory somewhere somehow.

Nate Najar - how about looking at these neat little digital recorders, 4
tracks or 6 tracks, rather than a new mixer into a 2 track recorder or
workstation?

Gary, FWIW, the extra two XLRs on the H6 can be metered, can be
controlled, no problem. They do NOT have phantom power, and the H6
insists on naming the tracks ZOOMwhatever_L and ZOOMwhatever_R,
instead of 5 & 6 or something.
