Zoom EXH-6 Dual XLR/TRS Input Capsule
The Zoom EXH-6 is an expansion input capsule designed to add professional XLR/TRS connectivity to compatible Zoom handheld recorders. It is built for users who need more input channels for multi-microphone recording, instruments, mixers, and line-level sources in field, studio, and live production environments.
Expand Your Recorder’s Input Capability
The EXH-6 adds two additional XLR/TRS combo inputs to supported Zoom devices, significantly increasing recording flexibility. It allows connection of external microphones, instruments, mixers, or audio playback devices directly into your recorder.
Multi-Channel Recording Expansion
When attached to compatible recorders, the EXH-6 expands input capacity, enabling multi-source recording setups. This makes it ideal for interviews, multi-mic music recording, podcasting, and location sound capture where additional inputs are required.
Independent Input Control
Each of the two XLR/TRS inputs includes its own gain control and -20 dB pad switch, allowing precise level management and preventing distortion when handling strong audio signals such as instruments or line outputs.
Flexible Mic and Line-Level Compatibility
The EXH-6 supports both microphone-level and line-level signals, making it suitable for dynamic microphones, instruments, mixers, and playback devices. This versatility makes it a powerful expansion tool for mobile recording setups.
Important Usage Note
The EXH-6 does not supply phantom power, so condenser microphones that require external power will need an alternative power source or compatible setup.
