Zoom XYH-6 X/Y Stereo Microphone Capsule
The Zoom XYH-6 is an interchangeable X/Y stereo microphone capsule designed for Zoom’s modular recording ecosystem. It is commonly used with compatible Zoom handheld and field recorders, providing high-quality stereo capture in a compact, detachable format.
Professional X/Y Stereo Recording
The XYH-6 uses two matched unidirectional condenser microphones arranged in a classic X/Y configuration. This setup delivers accurate stereo imaging with strong center focus and natural spatial depth, making it ideal for recording music, live performances, interviews, and environmental sound.
Adjustable Stereo Width
The capsule allows adjustment of the microphone angle between 90° and 120°, giving users control over stereo width. A narrower angle provides focused, centered audio capture, while a wider angle creates a more immersive stereo field.
Designed for Live and Field Recording
Because of its cardioid pickup pattern, the XYH-6 is highly sensitive to sound from the front while rejecting unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This makes it well-suited for both controlled studio environments and unpredictable outdoor recording conditions.
Modular Capsule System
The XYH-6 is part of Zoom’s interchangeable capsule system, allowing it to be easily attached and removed from compatible recorders. This modular design enables users to switch between different microphone types depending on recording needs.
