Zoom F3

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 at high volumes and maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio even at low volumes.

Compact Size, Big Sound

With 32-bit float recording, the F3 effortlessly captures the quietest raindrops and loudest explosions. Thanks to its compact size, this recorder can be placed anywhere to capture and monitor high-quality audio material up to 192 kHz.

Focus On The Scene

Outdoor shoots and sets often feature rapidly changing audio levels. With the F3, you can adapt to any scene without having to readjust the device or worry about clipping. In post-production, you can 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 precision as the F3 displays your audio material with real-time waveforms.

Through the headphone output, you’re always in tune with your recordings, and a line output lets you connect to your camera or other devices.

Battle-Tested

The F3 is built with 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 rugged 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 the sound selection for your stream.

Optional Remote Control

The versatile control options give your productions more flexibility than ever. Stay off set and control recording remotely via the F3 Control app for iOS and Android from up to 10 meters away. This requires the optional Bluetooth adapter BTA-1.
