Professional XLR Field Audio Recorder with 2 Tracks!
The Zoom F3 is a professional field recorder with 2 balanced XLR inputs, designed for "interference-free recordings." Two AD converters, one for low and one for high gain (dual AD converters), ensure no sound dropouts even at high volumes and maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio at low volumes. The Pronomic RB-Flex bag is made from especially durable, double-spun fabric. This special manufacturing technique guarantees exceptional tear and water resistance. The bags provide top protection with generous padding, no matter where you are.
Compact Size, Big Sound
With 32-bit float recording, the F3 easily captures the quietest raindrops and loudest explosions. Thanks to its compact dimensions, this recorder can be placed anywhere to capture and monitor high-quality audio material up to 192 kHz.
Focus on the Scene
On outdoor shoots and sets, audio levels often change rapidly. With the F3, you can adapt to any scene without having to readjust the device or worry about clipping. In post-production, you can always work with your recording, no matter how extremely quiet or loud the levels were.
Award-Winning Audio
Thanks to the dual A/D converter stages and low-noise preamps from our professional F-series recorders, the F3 delivers high-quality recordings regardless of environment or situation. Monitor your recording with seamless accuracy as the F3 displays your audio material with real-time waveforms.
Through the headphone output, you’re always listening closely to your recordings, and you can also route audio to your camera or other devices via a line output.
Battle-Tested
The F3 features sturdy side braces, a standard tripod mount, and non-slip rubber feet to ensure you can mount it on all your gear and hide it in any scene. Its robust metal housing and locking XLR connectors are designed for use in a wide range of environments.
Audio Interface & Streaming
Connect your F3 via USB to a computer or iOS device and use it as an audio interface for recording and streaming two channels in crystal-clear resolution with 32-bit float/96 kHz. The loop-back function lets you combine your computer’s audio signal with the F3’s inputs to complete your stream’s sound selection.
Optional Remote Control
The versatile control options give your productions more flexibility than ever. Stay off set and control recording via the F3 Control app for iOS and Android from up to 10 meters away. This requires the optionally available Bluetooth adapter BTA-1.
Pronomic RB-Flex Carrying Bag
The bag is specially designed for small handheld recorders, but also fits cameras and other electronic devices. Thanks to the option to divide it into up to three compartments, cables, microphones, and other accessories can be stored safely.
An additional cover protects the bag especially against moisture. The bag can be carried by the handle or with the attachable shoulder strap. A flat outer pocket also provides space for smaller accessories like USB sticks, SD cards, etc.
