Overview

The Zoom F6 is the first professional field recorder to feature both 32-bit float recording and dual AD converters, providing an unprecedented amount of dynamic range. With 6 inputs, Zoom's solid time code, multiple power options and wireless control, the F6 is poised to be your new secret weapon.32-Bit Float RecordingIn the field, fluctuating dynamics can prove challenging. Loud sounds can cause clipping and quiet sounds can get lost in the noise. The F6 uses 32-bit float recording with dual A/D converters to capture both explosive and subtle sounds at full audio quality
- without ever adjusting gain! For Those Hard to Reach PlacesRugged enough to withstand the most demanding scenarios and small enough to fit into the tightest spaces, the F6 will become your go-to recorder. Mic PreampsThe F6 is equipped with six high-quality 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 professional 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 Look-Ahead 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 AutoMixZoom AutoMix lets you keep your eyes on the action by automatically adjusting the levels of your mix to reduce ambient sound.Recording FormatsThe F6 can record in 32-bit float up to 96 kHz, 24-bit up to 192 kHz or both simultaneously in BWF-compatible WAV formats.MetadataCataloging files with the F6 is quick and easy. Enter track name, scene names, notes, and more in both BWF and iXML.Monitor What MattersUse the F6 and your headphones to keep tabs on your tracks pre
- or post-fader. Check levels, route signals to the left or right and set alert tones for battery and recording status.iOS Wireless AppThe F6's F Control APP lets you monitor signals, adjust levels, trigger transport controls, enter metadata and more from your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth.* *Optional BTA-1 requiredFine Tune Your MixThe Zoom F-Control (FRC-8) gives you more flexibility in the field. With 60 mm faders and controls for trim, pan and track-arming, the FRC-8 is a must-have for any professional filmmaker.Ambisonics AudioThe F6's Ambisonics mode offers precision A-to-B decoding and balanced gain linking, enabling you to capture professional spatial audio for VR, AR and more.
