You also have basic Play, Stop, Pause, Record, Fast Forward and Rewind features. You will also see you have indicators for channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 for the coordinating microphone inputs on the recorder. On the front of the Zoom H6, each channel has a gain knob and a pad feature (to control input levels), as well as target buttons for targeting the left and right to record with one of the external microphones that attach on top. On the opposite side you have a 5v USB power port where you can transfer files to the computer, or use an external power supply (not included with the recorder), the Menu button and scroll wheel (for navigating the menu) as well as inputs 3 and 4 for your external microphones. On the left side you also can see the SD card slot where you put your SD card in, an ⅛” headphone jack, the volume control as well as the power switch. These inputs are combo inputs that work with either XLR or TRS connections. Inputs 1 and 2 on the left, inputs 3 and 4 on the right. On each side of the recorder you’ll see you have 2 inputs. We recommend you get a separate microphone like the AT2005 for great quality at an affordable price. *The MX and XY are both stereo microphones, so we recommend getting a dedicated microphone instead of using these included mics for recording your audio.
