{"product_id":"zoom-f8-multi-track-field-recorder-zf8","title":"Zoom F8 Multi-Track Field Recorder ZF8","description":"\u003cp class=\"description\"\u003eAdvances in video have made filmmaking accessible to creators everywhere. But the accessibility of professional audio devices has not kept pace. Field recorders, with essential features such as time code, have been unobtainable for most. Until now. The F8 is made for serious filmmakers and sound designers. With 8-input\/10-track recording, super low-noise preamps, and support for 24-bit\/192 kHz audio, the F8 captures the highest-quality audio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-resolution audio and advanced limiters\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOutfitted with Zoom's finest mic preamps to date, the F8 features an extremely low noise floor (−127 dBu EIN) and high gain (up to 75 dB), with +4 dB line inputs. The F8 can record at 24-bit\/192 kHz resolution and is equipped with onboard limiters designed to provide overload protection. Limiting can be applied to all 8 channels simultaneously at full resolution, with 10 dB of headroom and controls for setting threshold, attack, and release.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTime code with pinpoint accuracy\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe F8’s time code is state-of-the-art. It utilizes a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) that generates time code at 0.2 ppm accuracy, enabling rock-solid syncing of audio and video. The F8 supports all standard drop frame and non-drop formats, and can jam sync to time code being provided by external devices. An input and output are provided on standard BNC connectors, enabling easy integration into any rig.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight and build\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe F8 is not only versatile and feature rich, it is the smallest field recorder with eight XLR combo preamps ever made. Weighing just 2.1 pounds (without batteries), its aluminum chassis is both rugged and durable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSound professionals sometimes work in dusty, hard-to-see environments. Level meters with adjustable brightness and its 2.4 inch full-color backlit LCD (which can be set to monochrome mode), make the F8 easy to use in any environment — from low-light to direct sunlight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFile formats, resolution, and sample rates\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe F8 records in BWF-compatible WAV format at 16 or 24-bit resolution, and at any standard sample rate up to 192 kHz. When recording files in MP3 format, you can choose bit rates of 128, 192, or 320 kbps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComprehensive headphone monitoring\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOut in the field, it's important to be able to quickly check levels as you're recording. With the F8, it's simple. A single display lets you monitor single or multiple tracks, as well as any of the Main or Sub outputs, via a dedicated 1\/4\" headphone jack with a front panel volume control. Signals can be freely routed to the left and\/or right headphone channels, pre- or post-fader, and the headphone output can be switched to mono. You can set headphone alert tones for low battery, recording start\/stop, or recording errors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA first in the field\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe F8 is the first field recorder to come with wireless Bluetooth control. The Zoom F8 Control App for iOS provides extensive wireless remote control of the F8 from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch (5th Gen) using Bluetooth LE protocol. Functions include Record, Play, Stop, Fast-Forward, and Rewind, plus mixer pan and fader level. You can also monitor input levels, current time code, and battery status. With Zoom F8 Control, you can rename files, enter metadata, and set date\/time information directly from your iOS device.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"featuresHeading\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-channel\/10-track field audio recorder\/mixer \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 discrete inputs with locking Neutrik XLR\/TRS combo connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight aluminum chassis, weighing just 2 pounds (without batteries)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh quality mic preamps with up to 75 dB gain, less than -127 dBu EIN, and +4 dB line inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupport for up to 24-bit\/192 kHz recording as well as 96 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 48 kHz, and 44.1 kHz, plus 47.952 kHz\/48.048 kHz for HD video compatibility; 16-\/24-bit resolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate Time Code (0.2 ppm) I\/O on standard BNC connectors; dropframe\/non-drop formats with Jam Sync\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree different power supply options: 8x AA batteries, external DC battery pack with Hirose connector, or 12V AC adapter (AA’s and DC battery pack not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic switching of power source from DC to batteries at user-defined voltage levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated gain control knob, 6-segment LED level meter, and PFL\/Solo switch for each channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhantom power (+48V\/+24V) on every preamp \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced onboard limiters for input and output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh pass filter, phase invert, and Mid-Side decoder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput delay of up to 30 msec per channel \/ output delay of up to 10 frames per output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Zoom microphone capsules; optional extender cable enables remote positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual mini-XLR (TA3) balanced Main Outs plus ⅛\" stereo mini-jack Sub Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated headphone output (100 mW) with front panel volume control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.4\" full-color backlit LCD with monochrome mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated PFL display with viewable trim settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual SD\/SDHC\/SDXC card slots, up to 512 GB each \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecords in BWF-compliant WAV or MP3 file formats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupport for extensive metadata (BWF and iXML); input time, date, project, scene number, etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in slate mic\/slate tone with front panel switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in tripod mount; camera mount adapter also included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse as an 8-in\/4-out USB audio interface (@ 96 kHz) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree Zoom F8 Control App for iOS allows wireless remote control, file renaming, and metadata entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zoom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":28024691153,"sku":"","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1641\/1633\/products\/Zoom_F8_Multi-Track_Field_Recorder_ZF86.jpg?v=1481159496","url":"https:\/\/studio-senter.myshopify.com\/products\/zoom-f8-multi-track-field-recorder-zf8","provider":"Studio Senter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
