非常难得啊, 在Tascam的Portacapture32位系列推出了n年后, ZOOM总算在手持录音机上进行了32位的迭代. 如果你熟悉32位录音机的特点, 那么你肯定会理解, 为何ZOOM在这台新的H6(essential)上取消了原本帅气的几个增益旋钮. 是的, 由于32位录音 - 几乎 - 对录音的头部空间没有上限, 因此我们可以不需要进行频繁的轨道增益来控制和预防出现削波, 这也导致了ZOOM取消了H6原本标志性的四个大旋钮. 当然, H6e依然会需要调节每个轨道的监听音量, 这些应该会在单独的界面中通过侧面按键进行调节. 由于工作室已经拥有32位的录音机F6和传统24位手持录音机H6和H8, 因此这款最新的32位H6e可能不太有强需求. 同时, 由于ZOOM更新了Capsule话筒头的设计(卡扣部分的改变), 工作室之前积攒的几款Capsule无法用在新机器上, 这点比较令人失望. 不过有趣的是, 新的H6e拥有了菜单语言提示(并包含中文), 这令一些视力障碍人士也可以顺利操作, 这点是值得称赞的.

ZOOM发布了新一代手持录音机essential系列, 这一代产品包含H1, H4, H6, 均为32位录音格式.
