Recorders

1. Zoom H6 6-Track Audio Recorder

   
   

   

   The Zoom H6 audio recorder allows for simultaneous 6-track recording. We rent it with multiple mic capsules and the EXH6, allowing for all six tracks to record XLR microphone inputs through the XLR/TRS combo jacks. With familiar menus for those who have experience on the Zoom H4n, the Zoom H6 is vastly improved, with better preamps and more versatile inputs.

   The Zoom H6 is the smallest way to record from multiple sources with broadcast-quality preamps. There’s no need to bring a bulky mixer or huge recorder in a sling bag. The H6 is small enough to mount on a camera.

   It supports bitrates up to 96kHz, 24-bit for six discrete channels, plus two more channels of stereo mixdown.  It has separate headphone out and line out jacks, so you can monitor while still sending a signal to your camera or other device.  Each of the six channels can be set independently, allowing you to fine-tune levels, compressor/limiter, and low-cut filter.

2. Budget Sound Kit

   
   

   

   With the popularity of our Budget Filmmaker Kit, we realized we should help Milwaukee get better sound for their money, too!  Our Budget Sound Kit comes with a Tascam DR-40 field recorder, SD card, batteries, cables, headphones, and your choice of either a Sennheiser G3 wireless lav system or a Rode NTG-1 shotgun microphone, with boom pole, shockmount, windscreen, and deadcat.  This is everything you need to get great audio on-set or in studio.

3. Zoom H4n

   
   

   Still making video like it’s 2009? We no longer stock the Zoom H4n audio recorder. Please let us convince you to upgrade to one of these, newer, more powerful, and affordable audio recorder rentals.

4. Tascam DR-40 Portable Field Audio Recorder

   
   

   

   The Tascam DR-40 is a simple-to-use recorder for events and video production.  It accepts dual XLR , dual 1/4″ mono or a stereo 1/8″ input, or uses the built-in microphones in X or Y configuration. It records WAV files up to 96kHz/24-bit to SD or SDHC cards.  We average about 6 hours of runtime on AA batteries, or 2 hours with phantom power turned on.

   We offer an external battery pack and AC adapter if you’d like to record for very long periods without changing batteries.  Since it’s relatively small, it’s also an excellent backup recorder to keep in your bag for emergencies and special circumstances.
