USB External Sound Card
For this particular setup, you’ll need an additional set of mic and stereo jacks which this USB sound card will provide.
ATR2100x XLR/USB Microphone

3.5mm Male to 3.5mm Male
The aux cable will run out from your H6 line out jack into a mic input on your computer.
64gb SD Card for Internal Recording
You will be able to record up to four tracks of high-quality audio for hours with a 64GB SD card in your Zoom H6.
4-Channel Headphone Amp
Give you and your guests the option to monitor the podcast recording through headphones. Some people don’t use them, but it helps to know if you have a clean and constant signal coming through during recording. It sometimes even helps people keep a good distance to the mic.

Run this cable into your Zoom H6 from a stereo out from your computer, sending the Zoom call audio from the H6 as its own track.
