Zoom H6 6-channel handheld recorder
General
If you want to record a concert, the two or four inputs of a handheld recorder may not be enough. The answer to this problem is the Zoom H6 6-channel handheld recorder. This device is equipped with two microphones (X-Y) and four more XLR/jack inputs. The head with microphones can be removed to reveal two more jack connectors to which you can also mount the included Mid-Side microphone onto this place.
Possibilities
All the provided channels create possibilities. For instance, you can create a stereo recording of a string quartet with the two microphones or you can close-mike a six piece band. In theory, a more regular/large multi-tracker could only record something like this, but the Zoom H6 can not only handel it, it's also practical, compact and handy. The colour display provides you with an overview of functions and level metering. The Zoom H6 records to an SD card for simple uploading to a PC.

Musikmesse 2016: The Zoom U-44 and U-24 - Size Matters
Thursday 7 April 2016 by LizanneZoom surprised both friend and foe with their H1 Handy mobile recorder series, which was very well-received by the general public. Now, Zoom has introduced two audio interfaces, the U-44 and the U-24, two recorders that fit in the palm of your hand! We're talking ultra compact. That doesn't mean their performance is small, however. Quite the contrary is true, in fact!

I was a little surprised to see Bax Music shipping the Zoom H6 from the Netherlands but it arrived intact, the manufacturer's packaged item placed in a plain cardboard box but with no additional protection or padding. Fortunately it escaped any knocks. I paid £254 and it's currently down to £242.
Hopefully it will give me many years of service.
