Brand
ZOOM
The Zoom MSH-6 is a high-quality mid-side stereo microphone capsule designed for compatible Zoom recorders, delivering flexible and professional stereo recording. It combines a forward-facing “Mid” microphone with a side-facing bi-directional “Side” microphone, allowing precise control over stereo width either during recording or in post-production. This makes it ideal for film, video production, interviews, ambient sound, and live recording where adjustable spatial depth is required. With its mono-compatible output and natural sound imaging, the MSH-6 provides excellent clarity and control, making it a powerful upgrade for Zoom modular recorder systems.
Zoom MSH-6 Mid-Side Stereo Microphone Capsule
The Zoom MSH-6 is a professional mid-side stereo microphone capsule designed for compatible Zoom handheld recorders and field recording systems. It provides flexible stereo imaging and post-recording control, making it a powerful tool for filmmakers, sound designers, musicians, and broadcast professionals who need precise control over stereo width and spatial audio.
Advanced Mid-Side Stereo Recording
The MSH-6 uses a true mid-side (MS) configuration, combining a forward-facing unidirectional microphone (Mid) with a side-facing bi-directional microphone (Side). This setup allows you to capture a mono-compatible stereo image that can be adjusted after recording for optimal width and spatial balance.
Post-Production Stereo Control
One of the key advantages of the MSH-6 is its ability to adjust stereo width during post-production. By increasing or reducing the Side signal level, users can shape the stereo field to match the needs of the scene, making it ideal for film, television, and ambient sound recording.
Flexible Recording Applications
The capsule is suitable for a wide range of recording scenarios including interviews, live music, environmental sound capture, and cinematic production. It can also be used in mono mode by disabling the Side channel, making it useful for voice recording and narration.
Compact and Modular Design
The MSH-6 is part of Zoom’s interchangeable capsule system, allowing it to be easily mounted onto compatible recorders. This modular approach gives users the flexibility to switch between different microphone types depending on the recording environment.
