Pro Sound Every Time You Press Record
The H6studio features large-diaphragm XY microphones, four studio-grade preamps, and 32-bit float recording with dedicated gain knobs. Built with F-Series technology, it’s the most advanced Handy Recorder to date.

More

• The Power of F-Series Preamps
  The H6studio’s preamps deliver ultra-clean audio (-127 dBu EIN). Paired with dual A/D converters and 32-bit float, they provide
  132 dB of dynamic range to capture every nuance.
• The Perfect Pair
  The onboard mics are stacked at a 90º angle to form a perfect X/Y pair. This minimizes phase cancellation commonly experienced with AB and other mic arrangements that can result in hollow sound.
• Bigger Mics, Bigger Sound
  The H6studio’s 19.4mm microphones capture a rich, flat-response with a wide dynamic range that can withstand 140 dB SPL, enough for a jet engine.
• Switch Formats, Not Recorders
  32-bit float and 16/24-bit formats each have their advantages. 32-bit float prevents clipping but requires post-production. 16/24-bit eliminates the need for post-processing but requires gain adjustment to prevent clipping.
• The H6studio offers the best of both worlds with 32-bit float and dedicated gain knobs—no clipping and no need for post-production. And with the dedicated format switch, you can adapt your workflow quickly.
• 6 Tracks Plus a Stereo Mix
  Record with sample rates from 44.1 to 192 kHz. The H6studio can capture up to 8 tracks* at once - 6 individual tracks plus a stereo mix.
  
  • *Stereo mix is only available up to 96kHZ
• The Noise Stops Here
  Carefully designed RF shielding blocks interference from smartphones and Wi-Fi, while the shock-mounted mics help reduce handling noise.
• Limiters That Look Ahead
  The H6studio features “advanced look-ahead” limiters which anticipate potential overloads and prevent distortion before it reaches your track.
• Four XLR/TRS Inputs + Stereo Mini Jack
  The H6studio includes four locking XLR/TRS inputs with +48V phantom power and +4dBu line-level support. It also has a stereo mini jack with plug-in power.
• Next Generation Capsule System
  The H6studio’s 3.0 capsule system* supports 32-bit float and gives creators more options to use the right mic for their recording. Use the included mic connector cover when no capsules are needed.
  
  • *Compatible with SSH-6e, EXH-6e, WLM-1, XYH-6e
• Wireless Capsule
  The WLM-1* is a dual-channel wireless system that comes with two transmitters and a receiver. The transmitter's built-in microphone captures clear, balanced audio at volumes up to 130 dB SPL.
  
  • * Available in 2026, compatible with Capsule System 3.0
