Quality build and quality sound

I'm a high school cinema studies instructor and purchased these for my juniors who are just learning to record sound. These things are AMAZING! Student-proof recording for amazing quality. If you don't have the money to hire a professional sound engineer to record on set, or you're more of a one-person band with video production, do yourself a favor and grab one!

Quality build and quality sound

By ACCOUNTS P.

I'm a high school cinema studies instructor and purchased these for my juniors who are just learning to record sound. These things are AMAZING! Student-proof recording for amazing quality. If you don't have the money to hire a professional sound engineer to record on set, or you're more of a one-person band with video production, do yourself a favor and grab one!

Explore the world of high-quality audio recording with the Zoom F3 2-Channel/2-Track Field Recorder. This compact and durable device is designed to effortlessly capture both the quietest whispers and the loudest roars with its 32-bit float recording capability. Despite its small size, it delivers a big sound, recording up to 192 kHz of superior audio quality.

Designed with the on-the-go professional in mind, the F3 allows you to adapt to fluctuating sound levels in the field or on set without having to constantly adjust the gain or worry about clipping. This ensures that you can focus on your scene, knowing that you can work with your capture in post-production, regardless of extremely low or high levels.

The F3 is not just about convenience; it's about quality. Featuring the dual A/D converters and low-noise preamps found in Zoom's professional F-Series recorders, this device guarantees top-notch recordings in any setting or situation.

Constructed with robust side bars, a standard tripod mount, and slide-resistant rubber feet, the F3 is ready for any environment. Its sturdy metal casing and locking XLR connectors are designed to withstand the rigors of field recording.

Monitor your recordings with pinpoint accuracy as the F3 displays your audio as real-time waveforms. With a headphone output and a line output, you can keep an ear on your recordings and connect to your camera or other gear.

The F3 is also well-equipped for long location shoots or remote fieldwork, offering a variety of power options and massive storage. Use two alkaline AA batteries for over eight hours of battery life, or opt for an unlimited charge via the AD-17 AC adapter or USB power supply. With a micro SD card slot that supports up to 1TB, you can record over 180 hours of audio at the highest possible sample rate/bit-depth.

Take control of your production with versatile control options. Stay out of the shot and record from a distance of up to 30-feet (10m) using the F3 control app for iOS and Android.

Finally, connect your F3 to a computer or iOS device via USB as an audio interface and record or stream up to two channels in crystal-clear 24-bit/96 kHz resolution. The loopback function allows you to combine your computer's audio with the F3 inputs to complete the sound for your stream.

In conclusion, the Zoom F3 2-Channel/2-Track Field Recorder is a versatile, high-quality, and easy-to-use device that is perfect for both professionals and enthusiasts in the field of audio recording.
