General

While studio recorders offer more and more functionality these days, field recorders have been somewhat left behind, unless you have access to unlimited funds that is. Japanese company Zoom, however, are looking to change all that with the comprehensive, yet affordable F8 multitrack field recorder. This device is what filmmakers and sound designers have been crying out for. With the F8 you can record up to 8 tracks simultaneously in outstanding quality. To make this possible, Zoom has modified their best microphone preamps, while built-in limiters keep the signal peaks in check.

Zoom F8: properties

This compact, lightweight device gives you a highly accurate time code to make synchronising sound and video a snap. Believe it or not, the F8 is equipped with 8 XLR/jack combo connectors with a separate knob per channel and an impressive colour display. Functions like that on a device of this size are unheard of. Multitrack recordings can be saved in wav or mp3 format on SD/SDHC/SDXC cards and even on two cards at the same time for an instant backup. The 16/24-bit signal quality is impressive too with a maximum of 192 kHz ensuring a highly accurate recording of your sound source.

Future-proof

The Zoom F8 is a recorder not just for today but tomorrow too. With the ability to mount various Zoom microphones like a Shotgun or an M/S, and the possibility to control the F8 using apps, this device is not going to go out of date any time soon. Connecting the F8 to iOS via Bluetooth allows you to control the parameters remotely. Possibilities like this make the F8 the perfect device for recording naturally shy animals perfectly while you remain hidden.

Zoom F8 multitrack field recorder

Ho acquistato di recente qui lo zoom F8. Mi occupo di prese dirette e andrà a sostituire il tascam dr680.

Lo trovo molto comodo, i comandi sono tutti frontali il display chiaro e i comandi intuitivi. Finalmente una macchina con caratteristiche PRO ad un prezzo contenuto. Il Time code, la doppia scheda sono fondamentali. 8 canali non mi sono mai serviti ma 6 si e per i prossimi lavoro forse avrò bisogno di usarli tutti. i Pre sono silenziosi. A breve inizierò un film e lo testerò pesantemente per 45 giorni, poi magari proseguirò la recensione. Al momento sono soddisfatto sia della macchina che dell'offerta trovata su Bax (un b-stock molto conveniente!)

Zoom F8 multitrack field recorder

Fantastische recorder. Zeer goede pre-amps met veel headroom. Ik gebruik hem voor opnames van koren tbv cd-profucties en in combinatie met mijn DPA4006 mics geeft dat uitstekende resultaten! De app waarmee je hem kunt bedienen is erg handig. Aanbevolen!!
