32-Bit Float Recording
Avoids Digital Clipping
dual-path A/D convertersThe ‘F6’ from Zoom was engineered to cope with the reality of real-world dynamics and environments. As source levels can change without warning, you need a rig which is able to capture every detail and every nuance without compromise.
Featuring 32-bit float resolution and dual-path A/D converters, the ‘F6’ offers fantastic dynamic range to cover the audible spectrum. Say goodbye to digital clipping.
Configurable Recording SettingsThe F6 boasts a slew of recording modes and resolutions to choose from—record all six inputs at a maximum resolution of 192 kHz in 24-bit linear or 32-bit float, or (thanks to Zoom's dual-path A/D converters) record them simultaneously in at up to 96 kHz in 24-bit and 32-bit float while printing a stereo mix.
Versatile Multitrack Modes
512GB of storage spaceMaximize portability by recording directly to an SD/SDHC/SDXC card (available separately) for up to 512GB of storage space. Select MP3 format if you're only recording the stereo mix and really need extended time and minimal file size.
Using the BWF-compliant WAV format for uncompressed audio quality and industry-standard file compatibility, you can run the F6 in 6-track mode (six inputs recorded in 24-bit or 32-bit float), or 14-track mode (six inputs recorded in 24-bit and 32-bit float, plus a stereo mix). Or select Ambisonics mode to capture four channels of Ambisonics-compatible audio and have two channels to spare for traditional mics.
A Closer Look
DISPLAYA 1.54" full-color backlit LCD with monochromatic mode gives you full visibility night and day.
TRANSPORT CONTROLSRecord, Stop, Pause and Play are front and center for easy access in the field.
LEVEL CONTROLS Each input has a dedicated level knob.
USB PORTThe F6 features a USB-C connection allowing you to back up your files, live stream while recording and more. The USB port also doubles as a power port.
LINE OUTThe F6 is equipped with a 3.5mm stereo mini unbalanced line out jack for quickly connecting to external mixers, cameras, recording devices and more
BTA-1 ADAPTERSold separately, Zoom’s BTA-1 Bluetooth Adapter provides wireless capability to this ultra-portable field recorder.
INPUTSThe F6 features six discrete inputs with locking Neutrik XLR connectors.
HEADPHONE OUTPUTThe F6 is equipped with a neutral-sounding 100 mW headphone amplifier with plenty of volume for noisy environments.
TIME CODE IN/OUTA dedicated 3.5mm stereo mini jack offers flexible time code I/O for external audio or video devices.
Checks All the Boxes
Mic PreampsThe F6 is equipped with six professional-grade preamps. Featuring a super-low noise floor (-127 dBu EIN), high gain (up to 75 dB), and selectable mic/line levels for each input, the F6 is built for location sound.
Precision Time CodeKeep your tracks perfectly synced even when you power down for lunch. On or off, the F6’s Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) generates time code at 0.2 ppm accuracy.
Advanced Hybrid LimitersWhen recording in 24-bit, the F6 uses advanced look-ahead hybrid limiters to provide overload protection. By adding a 1-millisecond delay, the limiters “look ahead” anticipating clipping before it’s recorded.
Zoom AutoMix™Zoom AutoMix™ lets you keep your eyes on the action by automatically adjusting the levels of your mix to reduce ambient sound.
