Hi all, not satisfied by Zoom H2 and Zoom H2n for nature recording, I'm
looking forward at the H6 as it appears to be the only one hand-held with 4
XLR inputs + the ability to record 2 more microphonic interchangeable
channels. My idea is experimenting with 4 mics array while maintaining the
ability to get 2 channels with standard stereo. However my main problem is
the self noise and I wait to have some feedback from the list, or hopefully
by Richmund and his comparison table at
