Zoom\’s F8n is the next generation of professional field recording. When developing the F8n, Zoom\’s mission was 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 fieldrecording.

By adding a 1 millisecond delay, the limiters look ahead anticipating clipping before its 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 everytake. Mic PreampsThe F8n features a super-low noise floor (127 dBu EIN) and high gain (up to 75 dB). Mic/line levels are selectable for both XLR and TRSinputs. Zoom AutoMixMeet 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-balancedmix. State-Of-The-Art Time CodeThe F8n utilizes a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) that generates time code at 0.2 ppm accuracy, enabling rock-solid syncing of audio andvideo. When powered off, the F8n will maintain up to 0.2 ppm accuracy. Time code I/O is provided on BNCconnectors. Simultaneous-RecordingThe 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 whilerecording. LOUDER, CLEANER, AND CLEARER MONITORING Volume, clarity, and immersion are equally important for proper monitoring in the field. Thats why updates have been made to the F8ns 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 audioquality. 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 recordingerrors. 360 AUDIO AmbisonicsCapable of recording 360-audio, the F8n is a must-have for engineers of the future. The F8ns Ambisonics mode features A to B decoding, gain and settings linking, and a customized meteringscreen. The VR Dream TeamFor the ultimate VR rig, pair the Zoom F8n with a Sennheiser AMBEO mic. Built for mobility and backed by two quality names, this combination lets you capture premium 360-audio anywhere andeverywhere.
