Can this be paired with itself for stereo input ...

Can this be paired with itself for stereo input to say, Zoom H6 recorder, for dSLR TRS minijack input? Need to record high end performances without post-processing.
Asked by: Andrew
Thank you STAFF. I meant, can I plug two e914 mics into a Zoom H6 (that will provide phantom power), then use the H6 output minijack to a dSLR...to capture stereo recording?
