## Description

Mid-side stereo shotgun microphone capsule for Zoom handy recorders

Review: Great!! - What is expected .... arrived on time
Review: What more could you ask for?! - What can I say, but holy cow, how cool is this thing!!! I recently purchased a Zoom multi-channel for my mobile podcast and was thinking I'd like a connector that just picks up ambient sound because it's automotive related. I didn't realize what I was getting. Zone controlled, stereo sound, easily connected and a shotgun mic that's literally better than any professional shotgun mic I've ever purchased. I can use this literally everywhere! I almost said, where have you been all my life! Not to mention the Zoom does have quality sound and does its job well. Highly recommended and ultimately overqualified for whatever you plan to use it for.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If using the Zoom H5 is this mic necessary when recording a speaker talking or are the existing mics enough?**
A: Not only is the shotgun feature on this very handy for getting good sound from an impressive distance, the ability of the Zoom to limit or expand the side channels on this mic is absolutely invaluable. It's like the included mid-side mic, but with the added distance power of the other shotgun. A great hybrid and I use it more than any other mic.

**Q: Can I get mono audio using this mic? or is it always produces stereo?**
A: In post production, you can get mono audio as the ssh6 only records in stereo (at least on the Zoom Q8). If you mean at the actual time of recording, no. It always records in stereo (One track for the front, one track from the sides).

**Q: I assume this mic has the ability to record on 2 separate channels, one for each capsule, is this the case?**
A: It does the MS type of recording, so if you chose to decode it, you would have a LCR feel.  It will require you to update the firmware so that you can adjust the side record levels.  When you just import the file, it will be on 2 tracks, with one of them being directional, and the other the off-mic.

**Q: Does this work with the h8? i don't see it listed, but doesn't the h8 use the same capsule system as the h6?**
A: The SSH-6 would be compatible with the H8. The H8 would also be compatible with any other Zoom interchangeable microphone capsule.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent mic!!
*by Q***Y on September 7, 2021*

I've been looking for a mic like this. Finally! Sound is crisp and clear. No need to put a mic on your subject, just point this at them. Would be perfect inside. Outside will pick up sounds beyond subject. Just wait for random outdoor noise to pass if you're in a busy outdoor area. If you're outdoor a lav mic might be better to avoid picking up surrounding noise. Even at maybe 8ft away you will get clear quality sound. Excellent for interview/speaking style videos or recordings. Good outside with limited background noise.
