## Description

Zoom SSH-6 Stereo Shotgun Microphone Capsule

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.
Review: This thing produces sound that blows mind. - 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.

## 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 Stereo Shotgun Mic — Perfect for the Zoom H6
*by G***Z on October 13, 2016*

I just received the Zoom SSH-6 stereo shotgun mic and am impressed with the feel and build quality. Audio sounds great and provides good directivity. It's a tad longer than the mono SGH-6 shotgun mic, but you get the Mid/Side stereo capability. If you record in RAW mode, you can change the mixdown in post production to vary between mono and wider stereo. This mic gives you the best of both worlds. Nice addition to the Zoom H6. I believe it will also fit the Zoom H5, but you should verify that before purchase. One caution: if you buy the 3rd-party SKB 3I-1209-4-H6B heavy-duty case for the Zoom H6, it doesn't fit this mic due to the extra length. SKB should increase the cutout size in their case, which would allow it fit both Zoom shotgun mics. There appears to be space for this.
