Description

This Zoom F8n is the next generation of professional field recording.

When developing this F8n, the goal was to provide every sound professional with the tools to create something exceptional.

This led to features such as Advanced Look-Ahead Hybrid Limiters, Zoom AutoMix™, and mic/line options for both XLR and TRS inputs.

You’ll have 8-channel/10-track field audio recorder/mixer, 8 inputs with locking Neutrik XLR/TRS combo connectors in a compact and lightweight aluminium chassis, weighing in at just 0.9kg (without batteries).

There’s a dedicated gain control knob, 6-segment LED level meter and PFL/Solo switch for each channel (compatible with Zoom microphone capsules) while an extender cable (sold separately) can enable remote positioning.

This F8n recorder hosts a 2.4″ full-colour backlit LCD with a monochromatic mode.

It can record in MP3 or BWF-compliant WAV file formats with support for extensive metadata (BWF and iXML) such as input time, date, scene number, project etc.

For storage, there’s Dual SD/SDXC/SDHC card slots for up to 512 GB each.

This is the perfect solution for an 8-in/4-out USB audio interface (at 96 kHz).

You will even be able to wirelessly control, enter metadata and rename files, via the free Zoom F8 Control App for iOS.
