The most amazing recorder I have yet seen. I could get rid of my mixer,
multichannel recorder (Zoom R16) and my battery powered Phantom power
supply. It is a six channel recorder and full studio in a box!

Get this instead:

It costs about twenty times more ($8000) than the Zoom H6, but often in
pro
sound, you get what you pay for. The Sound Devices is going to have far
more
flexibility, reliability, better sound quality, and much, much quieter mic
preamps. Note that you'll still need microphones -- and you can't get six
great mics for $400, for the most part.
If you can't afford to buy one, RENT one.
Blimey, an 8 year old child could tell you that an $8000 system is going
to perform better than a $400 dollar one.
And would sometimes be wrong.
(Probably not in that case however :-)
Remember the old saying is simply wrong. You usually have to pay for what
you get, but don't always get what you pay for!
