a $350 hand-held recorder)- The included XY head ("capsule" shown in the picture) provides a very transparent and natural recording - maybe not on par with your nice condenser mic, but not too far behind either (haven't tried the included MS capsule yet)- With the optional XLR capsule, you get 2 more dedicated input channels, each of which accepts

Excellent sound recording

When recording, it is impossible to punch in partway through a track.

It is easy to ruin an entire recording by having unexpected loud bursts from your talent (singer, orchestra, choir, etc.) causing over-modulation

The H6 has been very easy to use in both capacities, and I am thrilled with the recording quality and variety of tonal options provided by the different mic attachments

A fantastic recording device

Once again, if you're looking for a portable recording device with high quality sound and lots of options and features, this is probably not a deal breaker for you

While the ZOOM capsules are good quality, a better pair of outboard mics will naturally give you a much better recording quality

Good build quality++ Excellent recording

Extremely easy to use (even if it looks scary at first), incredible recording quality (with AT4050 at least), and packed with useful features

Simply a wonderful tool for recording good quality audio

If I'm recording an event, this is also not an issue
