ZOOM F3

The Small and Mighty Field Recor

Small Design,
Big Sound

With 32-bit float recording, the F3 effortlessly captures the quietest raindrops and the loudest explosions. Its small footprint allows for this recorder to be placed anywhere, as you capture and monitor up to 192 kHz of high-quality audio.

Focus on the Scene

When you’re working in the field or on set, sound levels can fluctuate often and quickly. The F3 allows you to adapt to your scene without having to set the gain or worry about clipping. In post, you’ll be able to work with your capture, regardless of extremely low or high levels.

When I’m on film sets, I’m often recording really loud sounds like race cars and weaponry. That’s why I love the 32-bit float technology. I can fit the F3 virtually anywhere and I don’t have to worry about my levels being off.”

The F3’s size makes it so versatile. I can place it right into a chaotic scene - I can mount it on a standard boom, place it inside a potted plant, or even strap it to the side of a speeding motorcycle.”

Audio Interface & Streaming

Connect your F3 to a computer or iOS device via USB as an audio interface and record or stream up to two channels in crystal-clear 32-bit float/96 kHz resolution. The loopback function allows you to combine your computer’s audio with the F3 inputs to complete the sound for your stream.

In my quest for the perfect sound, having the freedom and portability of the F3 is a dream come true. Its dexterity is unprecedented for a portable pro kit. And, small enough to be strapped to my wrist, the F3 has become my irreplaceable travel companion."
