Zoom F8n multi-track field recorder

Sound designers can often be found out in the field preparing and making recordings for movies. While they could record the sounds of murmuring water, wild running rivers, urban environments or highways with a portable field recorder, these usually only offer stereo two-track recording options. If you need more tracks and a decent amount of mic inputs, you'll need a larger device like this Zoom F8n Multi-track field recorder. This is a feature-packed, professional grade multi-track recorder you can rely on during a field day.

Zoom F8n Features

Clipping can be an issue when it comes to recording, especially if you don't know what to expect. The pre-amps in the Zoom F8n are top quality for clean, as-loud-as-possible recordings without any clipping. In terms of technological features, the Zoom is equipped with 1-millisecond look-ahead technology that anticipates incoming sonic peaks, Zoom AutoMix ambient sound reduction for optimal mix results and a super tight audio clock generator for spot-on time code matching between sound and visuals. Did we mention you can simultaneously record to two separate SD cards just in case one of them fails or corrupts? If you're looking to live-stream, you'll be glad to know you can both record and transfer audio directly to your computer via USB.
