Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I'm wondering: is the SSH-6 as good as the SGH-6 in terms of directional 'power'? Or do i need to move it closer to the subject than with the SGH-6?

A: I conducted several tests using both the SGH-6 and the SSH-6. The SSH-6 is 1 inch longer than the SGH-6. The end of the microphone was moved back by 1 inch for each SSH-6 test. So, the distance from the end of the microphone to my mouth was always the same for both. I conducted the tests at 6 inches, 1 foot, 2 feet, and 3 feet. In each case to achieve a level above 12 dB but below 6 dB I adjusted the gain on the microphone. In all cases the two microphones required the same gain. The side stereo level on the SSH-6 was set to 0 dBfor all test. So, I would say to your question, Yes, the power and beam for the shotgun portion of the two microphones are the same.

Q: 2. What's the max dB SPL this mic can handle? thanks

A: A maximum SPL rating for the Zoom SSH-6 Stereo Shotgun Microphone Capsule for H5, H6, U-44 and Q8 has not been provided by the manufacturer.

Q: 3. Can this remote be used for the Zoom H6?

A: The correct remote to be used with the Zoom H6 is the Auray RC-ZH6. The RC-ZH5 is designed for the H5.

Q: 4. Is this the wireless transmitter for use with the Nikon Z cameras, too? (they're not listed on the specs)

A: Yes For Z 7, Z 6, D850, and D500

Q: 5. Is this compatible with the D800?

A: This product is not compatible with the Nikon D800.

Q: 6. does the SSH-6 require phantom power?

A: No idea, but as long as you connect it to a Zoom audio module like the F1 (the one I have), etc... it will be powered. This is for sure not a stand alone mic. It is designed to be used on capsule compatible zoom recorders. Not your question but let me tell you this thing is amazing ! Cheers.

Q: 7. Does this mic record to three tracks; the mid to one, and the stereo side to two? If not, how would one go about mixing dialogue with ambient sound in post?

A: It is only 2 tracks. The mono mic will pick up the dialog as any shotgun would straight ahead. Then the desired amount of side can be mixed in accordingly.

Q: 8. What kind of timecode output does this have (locking 3.5mm TRS?)

A: The Deity Microphones Theos D2RX Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Microphone Receiver has two locking 3.5mm TRS audio outputs, but no dedicated timecode output. Timecode can sync wirelessly using the Deity TC-1 Timecode Generator, and the transmitter and receiver can be remotely controlled via the free Sidus Audio app.

Q: 9. Can we mix the directional shotgun mono with the stereo ambience in post? Or is the mix embedded into the audio track as set on the device?

A: The mix will be a mid-side stereo track. You would need mid-side decoder plug-in software to separate the mono mic and the bi-directional mic stereo track in post production.

Q: 10. The Z6 doesn’t allow simultaneous HDMI and Snapbridge control. Does this allow you to record video via HDMI while controlling the camera via Camera Control Pro 2?

A: We have not found that ability for the camera with Camera Control Pro 2.
