Zoom F3 2 Track Field Recorder

Capture Big Sound, In A Small Design with The Zoom F3 Field Recorder

With 32-bit float recording, the F3 effortlessly captures the quietest raindrops and the loudest explosions. Its small footprint allows for this recorder to be placed anywhere, as you capture and monitor up to 192 kHz of high-quality audio. The headphone output allows you to keep an ear on your recordings, plus a line output enables you to go to your camera or other gear.

Focus on the Scene

When youre working in the field or on set, sound levels can fluctuate often and quickly. The F3 allows you to adapt to your scene without having to set the gain or worry about clipping. In post, youll be able to work with your capture, regardless of extremely low or high levels.

Battle Tested

The F3 is built with durable side bars, standard tripod mount and slide-resistant rubber feet ensuring that you can mount it on your gear or hide it in any scene. Its sturdy metal casing and locking XLR connectors is designed for use in a variety of environments.

Monitor your recordings with seamless accuracy as the F3 displays your audio as real-time waveforms.
