Which is better for record without wind noise at high speed on a motorcycle? Zoom h4n pro, h5 or h2n? Always using a deadcat.

[YellowPeaks]

Absolutely wonderful video, I recently bought Zoom H5 and am trying different combination, This video helped in many new things I didn't knew

[orcapodmedia]

It's incredibly unfortunate the H6 cannot record a -12db backup through the XLR inputs.

[raquelschaedler]

still here :) Very complete review, thanks!!

[pdanielf]

Best comparison video out there! What about H5, will it become sticky as well considering the whole body is rubberised?

[dimitriskorentzelos]

Great video, it contains every information and knowledge for a non expert in sound devices to understand and make a decision about his needs, thank you so much for that! I am a filmaker and I am interested in H6 after watching this video but I need to ask, can I use lav mics only in the 3.5mm mini jack input? What if I need for example to use 4 lav mics at the same time in a shooting? And what kind of headphones do you use to better monitoring these recorders, with low impedance such as 32 Ohm, or with middle impedance of 80 Ohm? Thank you!

[tiffsaver]

I really like the completeness of your video. I'm a singer. Would the H5 give me better audio recording quality than my old H4N Pro?? Thank you!

[fedejesusm]

Which one is best for live jazz concerts with trumpet and sax as the main instruments?

[hrdrckx]

still here.
excellent, infrormative video

[wrigna]

What would be the best recorder to record the output from a Pioneer DJM-A9 at the highest possible sound quality?

[m_w_TR]

hello, thanks for the video. on my h4n pro my touch sounds make a big rustle and i shouldn't touch the device during recording! Is it the same with you? And is there a solution to this?

[Dolle_Man]

The Zoom H6 is being sold in the EU for € 339, the H6 for € 359, , I don't get it. I do like the smaller form factor of the H6.
