It’s a great expansion to the H8

By Riccardo Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2022-03-14

TLDR – It really just does exactly what it’s supposed to. The one thing I haven’t checked out yet is what the deal will be with powering mics on this add on unit. I see there is another micro usb port up top, so I assume it’s going to be pretty straight forward, but for the sake of keeping things clean (ten cables coming out of this thing is pretty unwieldy) I plan to keep condensers on the main body of the H8. As to the attachment, it feels very secure. Although it’s light and plastic, the fabrication feels of quality. Not that I would test it, but it feels like it could take a spill off of a desk or table. For all of the insanity in our world, it is nice that we have a way to bring 10 tracks out to a location that is reliable, straightforward, and actually very reasonably priced. Kudos to Zoom for building a device like this in an era full of sneaky compromises and proprietary nonsense.
