Im quite disappointed… Specially with the Zoom H6 ME66 combo… Noise floor is terrible, i have to push the gain to 50% on the zoom to get a still quiet signal, even when recording in a very controlled enviroment (Mic placed 9in away from my mouth, rigged in a boom pole, ponted down). If i push the gain knob on the Zoom just a touch higher, nasty noise start to show up, and my levels aren’t enough… 🙁

Pretty useless for field shooting, Im making a documentary, and its CRITICAL to get good quality audio without huge and advanced systems… the smaller, compact, and comforable, the better, Im swithcing between tripod, glidecam, and moving at all times… all fits in a single backpack and a belt… No assistants, It’s just me out there. Hope someone understands..

Im wondering if this is normal with this combo… if someone has the experience with using this combination. I want to avoid investing $350 on a JuicedLink preamp… I’m going to take a while to afford it!! 😛

Filmmakers out there who are using the Zoom H6 and the ME66/K6, is this normal??

Thanks for your support and help!
