Zoom SSH-6 Stereo Shotgun Microphone Capsule (Black)

I bought this when I had my Zoom H5 and was going to utilize it mainly as a vlogging set-up. It works great, although, it can be cumbersome to use in a run and gun vlogging set-up because of having to attach this to the H5, then using a hotshoe connector for the recorder to attach to the camera, then turning them both on, then connecting a 3.5 wire for them to work together, etc. If you have a bit more time to set-up, this mic in combination with a Zoom recorder will give you great results. I've used it for weddings, events, interviews, YouTube and for projects to get through grad school. The ability to get ambient sound with the side mics or to isolate your subject directly in front of you all in one device is muy bueno.

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.

Sin duda alguna es un gran micrófono, capta exageradamente bien el sonido ambiental y direccional. El muy fácil de usar en la zoom h5 o h6. Ya incluye su deadcat. La zoom h6 con sus dos cápsulas ya guarda muy bien el sonido pero con este micrófono sientes que la zoom h6 valió la pena cada centavo.

This thing produces sound that blows minds. I know it's a bit expensive but you won't regret that purchase. I never use the stereo mic that my zoom H8 came with eversince I received this one. Not because the original mic is bad but the ssh-6 is much better at reducing background noise, wind noise, it is louder and produce much less hissing sound. The XYH-6 mic is good too though, away from unwanted noise it performs, I would say... well above average.

I love this mic! I've tested it against other mics I use and this has a better noise floor. Absolutely great for dialogue and ambience recording.
