In addition to protection, the capsules are available in flat, +4dB and +8dB frequency altering responses that enhance high-frequencies and presence at 15kHz. The caps are provided in colors that match the B6 microphones, this cap features a flat frequency response and comes in cocoa.

Q: 1. When using the MSH-6 Mid-Side capsule is it possible to record the mid and side mics separately?

A: With the Zoom F1 recorder, you would not be able to use the MSH-6 Mid-Side Capsule to record the mid and side mics separately because it has a mono capsule. The mics that do work with the F1 and allow mid and side separation are the XYH-5 (B&H # ZOXYH5), XH6 (B&H# ZOZXYH6), and SSH-6 (B&H# ZOZSSH6).
