It just means my friend that this thing collects loads and loads of sampels of 
audio and uses 24 bits of them at a time. Or something like that. I've 
forgotten how to explane sample rate which is what 192 KHZ is. Then there's the 
bit depth. Which is 24 bit. All it really means in a real practical sence 
though is that it's full blast HD my friend. Full Blu Ray quality. Too bad this 
thing's like $800 other wize I too would get 1. But the other down side is that 
it doesn't talk like the Olympus recorders. So I'd totally be lost. I don't 
think this even beeps.

Hi Dane.

I purchased the H6 for, I believe, £470 in December of last year, from a London 
shop.

It's very difficult to use as a blind guy and you will need sighted assistance 
when setting every thing up, ready for a session.

Mr Neil Ewars, once from Blind Cool Teck, did a podcast on this machine last 
year and I have that podcast whenever you request it .

Neil - said something like this.

The Zoom H6 is in my opinion the best portable, 6 track digital hand held 
recorder in the world.
It can record at 24 bit Wave at 195Khz - whatever that means.

All I can tell you my friend that everything I've recorded has been at the 
highest    quality and I also would vote it the best recorder I've ever had.

I like to record local bands in my pub and the    quality would amaze you. 
2 weeks ago I recorded what was arguably, the worst thunder and lighten episode 
of my 62 year old life and I posted it off to friends on another list and they 
all thought that the quality was amazing.

So my advice and I don't really know as much as you guys, is go for the Zoom
H6 every time.


neil is an audio engineer of huge experience and I concur with his 
assessment regarding this device.

Very best wishes .
Andy.

Hi!
Think another list member wrote to say that they had one of these recorders.
I’d be interested to know what the user of the Zoom H6 thinks of his 
recorder, I have the Zoom H1 and I’ve been using it for the best part of 6 
years now.
There are some things to be aware of with the Zoom but those things can be 
easily dealt with if you have a computer and audio editing software.
or example the automatic level control doesn’t have quick recovery though 
this might be ideal for some circumstances.
In any case I use manual record level and fix any level problems with 
Amadeus Pro or something similar.
I’ve used the recorder long enough to know where the 0 DB point is in the 
level adjustment and one can always turn on the Auto Level control for a 
reference point and adjust to it.

**********
Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the 
halfwits in this world behind.
