32 bit won't solve all your problems and those units cost significantly more. If recorded properly, you won't be able to tell the difference, especially since your end product will need to be downsampled anyway.
This thing is absolutely awesome, worth every penny even at full price. The plug in mic that comes with it is very good.
Yes. The value is really in those 4 XLR inputs, to use whatever microphone you want. The onboard mics really are a poor man's audio setup, but could work in a pinch. They will certainly do a much better job than any on-camera microphone at recording ambiance.

Another use case would be recording background sound or foley. I'd recommend attaching it to a tripod for the former and a gorilla pod or pistol grip for the latter. (anything to dampen handling sound, which the H6 will most certainly pick up).

One more use case would be voice-over. Be sure to use the foam filter to cover the XY mics. make sure the mics are 5-6 inches away from your mouth, and speak across the mic rather than into it. Only attempt this in a controlled space. A clothes closet works well. The idea is to only record in a place that minimizes/absorbs room reflections. You could also throw a blanket over your head and the H6. I'd also recommend only using 1 microphone for this. Just turn off one channel in post-production.

Just some thoughts. It really is a swiss army knife. So get creative.

Quote from HappyCrowd987 :
I'm a classical musician and sometimes do recordings (for applications and such) with my H6 -- any suggestions for affordable external mics I could plug into the XLR inputs? Up until now, I've been using the onboard ones, since usually this is used in a pinch, when I can't get affordable professional recording.

I tend to put the mic a little further away, as otherwise the recordings sound too dry. Any advice appreciated Smilie
Check out Line Audio CM4. Handmade in Sweden with unmatched quality for its price which is around $300 for a matched pair.

Appreciate the response! Is this gonna be as good as a (semi-) professional recording though? Right now, I have access to that for $110 for a two-hour session (through my conservatory...obviously won't last forever) which makes forking over $300 sting.

I'd say the cheapest solution would be a matched pair of Rode NT5s (look for a used set) or matched pair of SE7s. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/...tched-pair [sweetwater.com]

I have a matched pair of Oktavas that sound amazing.

Here's an even cheaper offering... No idea how good they are, but they are certainly well-reviewed on Sweetwater.

Behringer C-2 Matched Pair

Equally important to the mics themselves would be mic placement. Lots of YouTube videos on how to record with various mic techniques. Here's one... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fPWFAFwIQQ
Really appreciate the detailed response! Don't really have the money to drop on the first couple for now, but very intrigued by the Sweetwater mics! Thanks again Smilie

I'd use the recording service by the conservatory. I'm sure whatever they are using is acoustically tailored to the room. And that's a very cheap rate.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. Very good quality and price can't be beat. Might look into these when I move on from here, though! Thanks and cheers Smilie
