Zoom F8n Pro Multitrack Field Recorder - 32-Bit FLOAT

Recording of the next generation
32-bit float is the game-changer. The F8n Pro uses dual A/D converter stages and professional preamps to record audio at the highest quality - without having to adjust the preamplification! The F8n Pro records in BWF-compatible WAV format with up to 32-bit resolution and a sampling rate of up to 192 kHz.

The F8n Pro offers three outputs for external devices, headphones and for camera connection. With your headphones, you can monitor the tracks pre- or post-fader, check the levels and adjust the panorama of the signals. With 8 inputs and 10 tracks, the F8n Pro can record highly complex audio material and opens up new possibilities in post-production.

Internal Processing
The F8n Pro offers flexible signal routing from all inputs to all outputs, phase inversion and mid-side decoding. It also offers high-pass filtering to reduce wind and other ambient noise. In addition, delays can be set up in the inputs and outputs

Secure timecode
Ensure perfect synchronisation of your tracks. Even when switched off, the F8n Pro's temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) generates timecode with an accuracy of 0.2 ppm.

Stay focused - with Zoom AutoMix™.
Zoom AutoMix keeps you on top of the action by automatically leveling your mix to reduce ambient noise.

Extensive metadata input
You can enter track name, scene names, notes and more directly on the unit or via the Zoom F8 Control app for iOS.

Six-second audio
The Pre-Record function allows you to check your surroundings and settings by recording as little as 6 seconds before you press the RECORD button.

Record And Stream - Simultaneously
You can connect the F8n Pro to your computer as an audio interface and feed the inputs individually to your favourite DAW or streaming software, while recording tracks to the internal SD card.

Mobility
Using the F8 Control App, you can check signals, adjust levels, operate transport controls, enter metadata and much more using your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth.

Advanced control options
The Zoom F-Control (FRC-8) provides more flexibility on field shoots. With 60 mm faders and controls for trim, pan and track ready, the FRC-8 is indispensable for professional filmmakers.
* The F-Control is sold separately

360º Audio
The F8n Pro's Ambisonics mode provides precise A-to-B decoding and balanced gain-linking to capture spatial audio for VR, AR and more.

Download the FREE Zoom Ambisonics Player software to easily decode and edit 360º audio.

Double the storage
Parallel recording to two SD cards with capacities up to 1TB lets you work completely independently from the moment you start recording

Power supply
The F8n Pro is ready for long days of filming and remote field shoots with multiple power options and high storage capacity.

Battery operation
Use eight AA alkaline batteries for 5 hours of operation, or connect the supplied AD-19 AC adapter.
