A Pocket-sized Dual-input Field Recorder

When it comes to recording in the field: the simpler the setup, the better. Case in point, Zoom’s F3 2-input Track recorder is a pocket-sized portable field recorder that’s perfect for interviews, film sets, or even impromptu home recording sessions. No matter where you are, the F3’s two independent XLR inputs with high-end preamps will capture your audio in crystal-clear quality, boasting an ultra-low EIN -127dBu noise floor. Audio engineers — including many here at AudioBargain — know the disappointment that can stem from a botched take due to improper gain levels. However, the F3’s automatic gain adjustment is designed to make recording in even the most chaotic environments a breeze, no matter your skill level. Whether you’re a pro audio guru or a budding beginner, the portable Zoom F3 simplifies your setup, all while retaining Zoom's pro-level audio quality.

Simple, efficient design

Recording setups can be intimidating for beginners, but the Zoom F3 is packed full of features that make it an intuitive plug-and-play solution to your field recording needs. Automatic gain adjustment removes the potential for takes that are too quiet or too loud — great for recording remote interviews or on-site sound when you’re in an unpredictable environment. Plus, the REC hold button prevents you from accidentally pressing the wrong button and ruining a perfect take.

Small size, big features

If you’re tired of lugging around large recording equipment for your setup, the F3 is a dream come true! This field recorder can be easily placed in a pocket during takes or transport. What’s more, the F3 clocks in at an impressively light 8.53 ounces, making it a great option for use with a wrist strap.

Plenty of power

The Zoom F3 promises up to 8 hours of operation using just 2 AA batteries. Or, for home use, simply run the Zoom off of the optional power supply (not included).

Two XLR inputs with high-end preamps

The F3 boasts two balanced XLR inputs for a wide variety of recording setups — just add the mics! Zoom’s high-quality built-in preamps will have your mic of choice sounding its best, plus their incredibly low signal-to-noise ratio of EIN -127dBu or less means that your recordings will remain clear in even the quietest environments.
