Focus on the Scene
Recording levels can fluctuate significantly during field recording or live performances. The F3 allows you to easily adapt to these conditions without worrying about gain setting and clipping. The recorded sound can be easily corrected in post-production, even if the signal level was too low or too high.
Award-Winning Sound Quality
With dual analog-to-digital converters and noiseless preamplifiers, like other Zoom F series recorders, the F3 model guarantees the highest audio quality in any situation and recording conditions.
Tested for Durability
The F3 recorder features reliable side bars, standard tripod mounting, and non-slip rubber feet, allowing you to hide it from prying eyes by placing it on your equipment. The durable metal housing and locking XLR connectors will come in handy when working in challenging conditions.
Real-Time Monitoring
The F3 display provides a real-time view of the just recorded signal as a waveform, allowing for accurate monitoring of the recording.
Record and Listen
The headphone output allows you to always monitor the recording, while the additional line output will help you switch to a camera or other equipment.
