Zoom MSH-6 M/S Stereo Microphone for H5 and H6 Recorder

The MSH-6 uses MS ("Mid-Side") recording: an incredible technique that allows you to actually adjust the width of the stereo image after it has been recorded, making it especially useful for film, video and television projects.  
 
Although the H6's supplied MSH-6 MS capsule appears to be just one microphone, it actually contains two mic elements, positioned directly on top of one another. One of the microphones inside the MSH-6 is unidirectional (that is, it is mostly sensitive to signal coming from directly in front, and less sensitive to signal coming from behind or from the sides) while the other is bi-directional (that is, it is mostly sensitive to signals coming from directly in front and directly behind, and less sensitive to signal coming from the sides).  

The main features of the MSH-6 include:

• Mic Types: Unidirectional and bi-directional
• Sensitivity: –37dB, 1 kHz at 1Pa (unidirectional), –39dB, 1kHz at 1Pa (bi-directional)
• Input Gain: –∞ to 42.5dB
• Maximum Sound Pressure Input: 120dB SPL (unidirectional),
• 122dB SPL (bi-directional)
