Zoom
F8 Multi-Track Field Recorder
MFR# ZF8
Full Manufacturer Warranty
The Zoom F8 Multi-Track Field Recorder
is designed for professional and enthusiast recording applications on
set and in the field, including music, filmmaking, and electronics news
gathering (ENG). Designed to be carried by a shoulder strap or in a bag,
the unit features eight analog input channels with lockable XLR/TRS
combo jacks that provide +75 dB maximum input gain, and support for +4
dB inputs with an EIN of -127 dBu or less. It can record up to 10 tracks
simultaneously (channels 1-8 plus a stereo mix), or up to eight
channels when recording at the A/D converter's maximum 24-bit 192 kHz
resolution.
Alternatively, you can perform dual-channel recording of separate files
at lower volume levels to ensure you have backup recordings to use when
unexpected loud noises distort the primary recording. A newly designed
limiter provides up to 10 dB of headroom. The unit supports SMPTE time
code input and output. Included in the outputs is a powerful 100 mW +
100 mW headphone jacks as well as the MAIN OUT 1/2 and SUB OUT 1/2 jacks
so you can send the audio signal to a video camera or other device
while monitoring with headphones.
The unit's internal mixing capability enables flexible routing, and the
inclusion of individually selectable +24V/+48V phantom power ensures you
can use your favorite condenser microphones.
Power to the recorder can be supplied in one of three ways: via AA
batteries, an AC adapter, or a 9 to 16V external DC power supply. Two
SDXC card slots can be used simultaneously for recording even longer
sessions, and can also be used as card readers when connected to a
computer via USB.
When operating via USB, the unit can be used in a 2-in/2-out
configuration as well as an 8-in/4-out audio interface (driver required
for windows). A built-in slate mic allows you to make voice memos and
the unit's slate tone can be used to confirm specific levels.
Among the most innovative features of the recorder is support for the company's interchangeable microphone capsules.
