Zoom F8N

Zoom F8n MultiTrack Field Recorder

The Zoom F8n is a revolutionary multitrack field recorder, with all new features to make your field and ENG recordings easier and sound better. This 8-in/4-out 10-track field recorder offers low-noise preamps, time-code compatibility, extensive onboard metering, and dual redundant SD/SDHC/SDXC card recording at up to 24-bit/192kHz. The F8N’s advanced look-ahead limiter ensures you’ll never lose a great take due to distorted audio. Multiple power sources include internal and external batteries plus AC, and the F8N even goes beyond most high-end field recorders with its included camera-mounting bracket and Bluetooth remote control via a free iOS app.
