Product Description

Here's what Zoom have to say about the XAH-8 Mic Capsule

The XAH-8 capsule delivers pristine stereo recordings. Easily rotate the capsules from a tight XY pattern to a wide AB pattern to enhance the stereo image of your recordings. Compared to a mirrorless or DSLR, this camera’s size is meant to seamlessly fit into your production while its price ensures that it fits into your budget. With the included X/Y mic capsule and two XLR inputs, you can capture up to four tracks of simultaneous, crystal-clear audio. Capture every instrument and voice of your band by running the main outputs of a mixing board right to your Q8n-4K. Record in 4K resolution at 30fps. With the F2.8/150º wide-angle lens, five field of view (FOV) settings, and brightness adjustments, the Q8n-4K produces vivid video quality at every shoot. Get the right look in any setting using Scene presets for Indoor, Outdoor, Nighttime and Concert Lighting. Alternatively, the Auto setting will optimize lighting based on your environment.

Mr Christian Grainger13th Mar 2024

A great mic capsule for capturing wider sounds with a Zoom field recorder. This capsule switches from the conventional XY pattern to an AB pattern which is great for wider sound sources such as choirs, drums or ensembles. The XY can be used for a closed mic stereo performance, with mono compatibility, whereas the AB setting will allow for a much wider stereo image on playback. Great sounding and sturdy little add on that you won't regret buying.
