8-channel/10-track field audio recorder/mixer

SKU: F8N Categories: ,
Description

THE ZOOM F8NSome make sound. Others make history.

When developing the F8n, it was our mission to provide every sound professional with the tools to create something exceptional. With features such as Advanced Look-Ahead Hybrid Limiters, Zoom AutoMix®, and mic/line options for both XLR and TRS inputs, the F8n is the next generation of professional field  recording.

Advanced Look-Ahead Hybrid Limiters
The F8n is equipped with Advanced Look-Ahead Hybrid Limiters that provide overload protection no matter what comes your way. By adding a 1 millisecond delay, the limiters "œlook ahead" anticipating clipping before it’s recorded. Limiting is applied to each of the 8 channels simultaneously at full resolution, with 10 to 20 dB of headroom to ensure pristine audio on every  take

 width=

Mic Preamps
The F8n features a super-low noise floor ( ˆ’127 dBu EIN) and high gain (up to 75 dB). Mic/line levels are selectable for both XLR and TRS  inputs.

Zoom AutoMix®
Meet your new assistant sound editor, the Zoom AutoMix®. This smart software automatically adjusts the levels of your mix to reduce the amount of ambient sound, so you can focus on what really matters – capturing a well-balanced  mix.

 width=

State-Of-The-Art Time Code
The F8n utilizes a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) that generates time code at 0.2 ppm accuracy, enabling rock-solid syncing of audio and  video. When powered off, the F8n will maintain up to 0.2 ppm accuracy. Time code I/O is provided on BNC  connectors.

 width=

Simultaneous-Recording
The F8n can record to an SD card and your computer via USB simultaneously. For use during livestreaming, file back-up and more. And you can easily back up your files and stream live while  recording.

Safegaurd your Recoedings

Dual SD Card Recording
Record simultaneously on two  SD/SDHC/SDXC cards, up to 512 GB each, allowing for redundant  recording.

Three Power Sources
A 4-pin Hirose connector allows the use of external 9-18 volt DC battery packs. Power can also be provided by 8 AA batteries or the AD-19 AC adapter included with your device. The F8n can switch power sources at a user-defined voltage level for uninterrupted  recording.

Dual-Channel Recording
The F8n’s dual-channel recording mode allows you to create safety tracks by doubling up the recordings from inputs 1-4 onto tracks 5-8. Tracks can be controlled independently, allowing you to customize each safety track with different gain, limiting, and  more.

Pre-Record
The pre-record function allows you to capture up to 6 seconds of audio  before  you hit the  RECORD  button

Louder, Cleaner, and Clearer Monitoring

Volume, clarity, and immersion are equally important for proper monitoring in the field. That’s why updates have been made to the F8n’s headphone processing to maximize all three. A digital gain boost has been added to minimize ambient bleed, which can cause comb filtering resulting in poor audio  quality.

Signals can be freely routed to the left and/or right headphone channels, pre- or post-fader. Additionally, the headphone output can be switched to mono. You also can set headphone alert tones for low battery, recording start/stop, or recording  errors.
