12 simultaneous recording tracks, interchangeable capsules, and an App-driven touchscreen interface, the H8 is designed to meet all your audio recording needs.
The H8 comes with the Zoom XYH-6 and the MSH-6 microphone.
The XYH-6 capsule provides two matched high-quality unidirectional mics, for capturing signal directly in front of the recorder. With the Zoom mic capsule system you can easily swap capsules to ensure you’re always using the right mic for the job.
MSH-6 is a mid-side microphone with two capsules. One of the microphones in the MSH-6 is unidirectional (it is most sensitive to sound coming from the front, less sensitive to sound coming from the side and rear), the other is bidirectional (this type is more sensitive to sound coming from the front and rear, less sensitive to sound coming from the side).
H8 offers 4 XLR inputs with dedicated pad switches and gain control. 2 additional XLR/TRS combo jacks with Hi-Z switches allow you to capture line level signals, microphones, or directly record electric guitars and basses.
