How to check audio before shooting

1. Fully charge, turn on the device, and check the connection indicators between units.
2. When connecting to a camera, plug the cable into the MIC port, not the headphone port.
3. Lower the recording level on the camera and adjust the main level on the audio recorder.
4. Put on headphones, do a test speak at normal and maximum volume to ensure there is no static or distortion.
5. Record a 10-second test and review it before the official shoot.

Who should rent the Zoom H6essential recorder?

• Ideal for: filmmaking crews, TVCs, and podcasts requiring high-quality multi-track recording.
