The ZOOM F6 Field Recorder is the first professional field recorder to feature both 32-bit float recording and dual AD converters, providing an unprecedented amount of dynamic range. With 6 inputs, Zoom’s solid time code, multiple power options and wireless control, the F6 is poised to be your new secret weapon.
This ultra-compact, multitrack field recorder offers 32-bit float technology for distortion-free dynamic range, and up to 14 tracks (inc. backup recordings) of simultaneous recording for professional and enthusiast applications on set and in the field. Slide it in a sound bag, sling it over your shoulder, or mount it to a camera; the F6 packs quantity and quality into a rugged frame that's more than ready for filmmaking, production/location sound mixing, sound effects recording, and electronic news gathering (ENG).
Zoom F6 has six XLR-inputs and features the same very low noise-floor preamps found in the Zoom F8n (−127 dBu EIN). There is a line-out, a headphone output with a volume wheel and timecode in/out. Powering the Zoom F6 is easy, given all the options the unit offers: the F6 can either be powered by four AA batteries, USB-C or an L-Series battery, for which their is a built-in mount on the unit’s backside. The front of the unit is dominated by six faders, a tiny yet informative LCD and three main buttons to control recording and playback. The unit can also be connected to Zoom’s Bluetooth adapter and will work with Smartphone app interface as well as Zoom’s F-Control panel.
Whether you need long-duration stereo recording for an interview, redundant capture of multi-mic setups for a video shoot, or Ambisonics sound files for virtual reality and 360-audio projects, the F6 has the modes, resolutions, and media support to handle your crucial audio tasks. You can feel confident using it as your main recorder, a USB audio interface for your dedicated computer rig, or a backup unit for added safety.
