The Zoom EXH-6 adds two extra, unpowered XLR/TRS combo inputs to compatible Zoom recorders including the Zoom Q8n-4K Handy Video Recorder, Zoom H8 Handy Recorder, Zoom H6, H5, F4, and F1.

Each input is equipped with its own preamp and -20 dB pad, so they’re all capable of handling either mic or line-level signals. There are two 5-volt preamps to minimize distortion even at high volumes.

You can only use this item with the following recorders:

• Zoom Q8n-4K Handy Video Recorder
• Zoom H8 Handy Recorder
• Zoom H6
• Zoom F8
• Zoom F8n
• Zoom F1 recorders
• Zoom H5 and F4

It’s useless by itself, so if you rent this without a Zoom Q8n, Zoom H6, F8, F8n, or F1 recorder, we’ll assume that you already own one.
