The XYH-6 features the largest diaphragms ever put on a portable recorder capsule, delivering rich, detailed stereo imaging with a warmth that smaller elements simply can't match. The two matched unidirectional condensers adjust between 90-degree and 120-degree configurations, letting you switch from a tight, focused stereo image to a wider soundstage depending on your source material.

In 90-degree X/Y mode you get a phase-coherent image with strong center definition, ideal for solo instruments or interviews. Switch to 120 degrees for room recordings, ensembles, or any situation where you want to capture more spatial width. Compatible with the H5, H6, H8, Q8, U-44, F4, F8, and ECM-3 extension cable.
