Review Summary
2023-03-08T19:01:53
The best Zoom recorder I have used thus far. Clean audio is so important to my work and the F8n Pro's dual A/D converts and pre-amps are so quiet. 32 bit recording offers peace of mind that sources will not clip when recording. Build quality is top notch and feels very solid. Add timecode and an iOS app, I am beyond happy.
