Zoom F6

Description

Essential Information About the Zoom F6 Field Recorder/Mixer

  • 32-bit floating point conversion with dual A/D converters for exceptional dynamic range and virtually unlimited headroom.
  • 6 lockable XLR inputs, ultra-low noise preamps (EIN below ?127 dBu) and gain up to 75 dB for clean recordings, even with demanding microphones.
  • Ultra-stable 0.2 ppm timecode, flexible power options, and wireless control for smooth shoots.
  • Ultra-compact and rugged design, recording up to 14 tracks on SD card and USB audio interface mode with 6 inputs/4 outputs.

A Milestone in Zoom?s ?F? Series

Building on the expertise of Zoom?s ?F? series recorders, the Zoom F6 is the brand?s first field model to combine 32-bit float recording with dual ADC. It incorporates the acclaimed tools of its predecessors (predictive limiters, AutoMix, timecode) in an even more compact chassis, designed to meet the demands of today?s production environments.

Designed for Location Sound, Fiction, Documentary, and VR

The F6 targets mobile sound recordists, content creators, documentary/fiction crews, traveling podcasters, and ambisonic captures. Its wide dynamic range, quiet preamps, and reliable timecode ensure stress-free capture?from long takes to 3D ambiances?with powerful and precise headphone monitoring.

Technologies Serving Sound Capture

32-bit Float and Dual Conversion

The combination of 32-bit float and dual A/D converters manages extreme level differences without urgent gain adjustments. The result: voices, effects, and ambiances preserved with an exceptionally wide safety margin, enabling a smoother post-production workflow.

Preamps, Mixing, and Safety

The six preamps offer up to 75 dB of gain, minimal noise floor, and advanced hybrid predictive limiters to prevent clipping. The ?Zoom AutoMix? function automatically balances levels in dialogue situations, reducing off-mic background noise.

Synchronization, Control, and Mobility

The 0.2 ppm timecode with Jam Sync secures camera synchronization. Bluetooth control via the ?Zoom F6 Control? app (with optional BTA-1 adapter) simplifies file renaming and metadata input. Versatile power options (AA batteries, Sony L-series battery, AC adapter) and lightweight design facilitate long shoots.
