Zoom F2-BT Compact Field Recorder with Lavalier Microphone and Bluetooth

The Zoom F2-BT is a compact, professional-grade field recorder designed for content creators who require high-quality audio capture on the move. It combines a portable recorder body with a dedicated lavalier (lapel) microphone, making it an all-in-one solution for capturing clear dialogue and voice recordings. A key feature is its built-in Bluetooth connectivity, which enables wireless control and monitoring via a dedicated smartphone app. The recorder utilises 32-bit float recording technology, which virtually eliminates the risk of audio clipping by capturing an extremely wide dynamic range. This means users don't need to manually set gain levels before recording, simplifying the process and ensuring optimal sound quality even with unpredictable volume levels. It records in high-resolution WAV formats (44.1kHz or 48kHz at 32-bit float) directly to microSD cards. The included LMF-2 lavalier microphone features an omnidirectional pickup pattern and a generous 160cm cable, secured by screw-lock connectors to prevent accidental disconnection. Power is supplied by two standard AAA batteries, offering up to 15 hours of continuous use. This system is ideally suited for podcasters, videographers, journalists, interviewers, and actors needing a reliable, set-and-forget audio solution. Its small size makes it perfect for discreet placement on a subject, while the Bluetooth control allows for remote starting and stopping of recordings from a distance. The recorder also supports professional workflows with features like a high-precision internal clock for sync and compatibility with Bluetooth timecode devices for multi-camera video production.
