The Zoom F6 32-Bit Float Recording - Capture The Calm and The Storm

The Zoom F6 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.

32-Bit Float Recording
In the field, fluctuating dynamics can prove challenging. Loud sounds can cause clipping and quiet sounds can get lost in the noise. The F6 uses 32-bit float recording with dual A/D converters to capture both explosive and subtle sounds at full audio quality - without ever adjusting gain!

For Those Hard to Reach Places
Rugged enough to withstand the most demanding scenarios and small enough to fit into the tightest spaces, the F6 will become your go-to recorder.

Mic Preamps
The F6 is equipped with six professional-grade preamps. Featuring a super-low noise floor (-127 dBu EIN), high gain (up to 75 dB), and selectable mic/line levels for each input, the F6 is built for location sound.

Precision Time Code
Keep your tracks perfectly synced even when you power down for lunch. On or off, the F6's Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) generates time code at 0.2 ppm accuracy.

Advanced Look-Ahead Hybrid Limiters
When recording in 24-bit, the F6 uses advanced look-ahead hybrid limiters to provide overload protection. By adding a 1-millisecond delay, the limiters "look ahead" anticipating clipping before it's recorded.

Zoom AutoMix
Zoom AutoMix lets you keep your eyes on the action by automatically adjusting the levels of your mix to reduce ambient sound.

Display: A 1.54" full-color backlit LCD with monochromatic mode gives you full visibility night and day.

Transport Controls: Record, Stop, Pause and Play are front and center for easy access in the field.

Level Controls: Each input has a dedicated level knob.

USB Port: The F6 features a USB-C connection allowing you to back up your files, live stream while recording and more. The USB port also doubles as a power port.

BTA-1 Adapter Slot: Sold separately, Zoom's BTA-1 Bluetooth Adapter provides wireless capability to this ultra-portable field recorder.

Inputs: The F6 features six discrete inputs with locking Neutrik XLR connectors.

Headphone Output: The F6 is equipped with a neutral-sounding 100 mW headphone amplifier with plenty of volume for noisy environments.

SD Card Slot: Record up to 512 GB on an SD card while streaming or recording to your DAW.
