6. Zoom F3
The Zoom F3 is a professional field recorder with two balanced XLR inputs, designed for "noise-free recording". Two AD converters, one for low gain and one for high gain (dual AD converter), ensure that sound dropouts do not occur and that the signal-to-noise ratio is high even at high volumes. The input signal is recorded in 32-bit float WAV format, which can maintain the resolution at the time of recording and reproduce the sound without degradation, retaining the original resolution even after post-recording normalisation processing. The combination of dual AD converters and 32-bit float recording, together with a thoroughly simple design that prevents accidental operation, means that anyone can simply press the REC button and record audio without gain adjustment or sound distortion. The palm-sized, compact and robust housing can also be clipped to a boom microphone.
7. Zoom P4 PodTrak
The microphone inputs of the P4 are equipped with professional preamps from Zoom. With up to 70 dB of gain, they are recommended for use with the most demanding microphones. Plus, with four independent headphone outputs with individual volume controls, everyone can hear everything.
8. Zoom F1-SP
The Zoom F1 Field Recorder + Shotgun Mic is the ultimate solution for run-and-gun filmmakers who need to record professional-quality audio for video. With the Zoom F1 Field Recorder + Shotgun you can record professional audio
wherever your camera takes you.
9. Zoom SSH-6
The SSH-6 mid-side stereo shotgun capsule includes a super-directional microphone for picking up sound in the center, as well as a bidirectional side mic for picking up sounds from the left and right. This allows you to record a fully mono-compatible stereo image-ideal for film, video, and television projects. For example, you can capture dialogue with the center mic, and then mix in the desired amount of environmental sound captured by the side mic directly on your Zoom recorder, or in postproduction.
