The Zoom SSH-6's big selling point is it's dual functionality.
The combination of shotgun mic and stereo "field" style mic is very handy, but it is difficult to maintain a good mix between the two input sources eh. The option to record in "MS Raw" mode is a life saver for this - it is possible to mix the amount of stereo mic compared to shotgun later in post production. The VST plugin to enable this function is downloadable from the Zoom website - perhaps this could be clearer.
I had to update the 1.1 firmware on my Zoom H6 to current version 2.0 to use this microphone.
The shotgun mic pickup pattern is perhaps a little wide compared to other popular shotgun mics, but for me its practicality vastly outweighs this. It's a great multi purpose mic with an excellent slimline design.

Great for Zoom H6!
howlingwolf 03.05.2018
This microphone is a great addition to Zoom H6 and provides it with probably the most practical solution to recording voice and other focused sounds.
The M/S functionality is an extremely useful feature for certain situations, but it can also be used as a mono shotgun if set to M/S Raw mode in the menu settings.
The build quality is good and I would say it's fairly priced.

Very good dual purpose mic
nikthegreek 17.08.2020
This mic is an excellent companion to H6. Very good build quality and very decent sound considering its price.
As a shotgun it is a bit wider but still very convenient for broadcast purposes or recording close up.
The M/S feature is great. Best option is to record MS RAW and then decide later the wideness of the stereo field using the plugin from Zoom.
