Not a big issue as it was just before intermission and we shot the same play 4 times I could just use another show for that scene, but backup batteries would have been helpful. In the editing room is where I really feel good about this!One thing I wish I had known before I put it to professional use - if you put batteries in the H6 and plug in the power to an outlet and the plug gets unplugged by accident, the batteries take over instantly! During a play we shot as the actors were jumping off stage one hit the outlet and well the recorder stopped. With the high bit rates, the H6 will record may be why. You can adjust this effect from narrow to wide, just astonishing! We produce 5.1 surround on all our projects - the H6 will allow us to do this more accurately and easier! You get separate audio tracks for 4 mics and 1 stereo track for the attachment mics, although, you can make 1 & 2 stereo and / or 3 & 4 stereo if you need.The H6 noise floor is very low, lower than our cameras built in XLR’s which surprised me. It picks up exactly as you hear it naturally, the highs and the lows! It gives a natural Right Center and Left in one audio track. But I feel the MSH-6 MS mic is the best to me. With this recorder we are now able to put more microphones on stage and not have to run those long XLR cables that take a lot of gaffer tape and time.Both microphone attachments that come with the H6 sound great. In the past we would run very long XLR cables back to our cameras, 100’s of feet worth counting all the mics. We capture the facilities “sound system” directly to one of our cameras for the music and vocal microphones and leave the H6 to record the natural sounds of the stage and room. We use boundary microphones to capture stage sounds, i.e. I just feel that this product is so fairly priced for what you get, I just got to share!We shoot a lot of dance recitals and stage plays. The perfect handy recorder! This review is how we use it, how we love it and why. Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2020
