FAQs
Which recorder is the Zoom Dual XLR/TRS Combo Capsule compatible with?
This capsule is designed specifically for the Zoom H6essential. It uses Zoom’s Capsule System 3.0 and will not mount on earlier recorders that use previous capsule designs.
Does the capsule provide phantom power on its own?
Phantom power is available on the two XLR/TRS combo inputs, but it requires an external power supply. You need to connect the capsule’s USB-C port to a mains adapter or USB battery to supply power to the condenser microphones.
Can I connect microphones and line-level sources simultaneously?
Yes. The two combo inputs accept either mic or line-level signals, and the 3.5mm input can also be used for mic or line-level sources. This allows mixed setups such as microphones alongside a mixer or playback device.
Is the 3.5mm input suitable for lavalier microphones?
The stereo 3.5mm input provides plug-in power, which supports most standard lavalier microphones without requiring additional adapters.
Does this capsule support 32-bit float recording?
Yes. When used with the H6essential, the capsule fully supports 32-bit float recording through Zoom’s Capsule System 3.0. This helps prevent clipping and reduces the need for precise gain setting during recording.
