Zoom F8n Pro 32-Bit Float Multitrack Field Recorder

The Zoom F8n Pro is a professional multitrack field recorder designed for filmmakers, sound engineers, and audio professionals who require high-quality, reliable audio capture in demanding environments. Building on the success of the popular F8n model, this flagship device combines robust hardware with advanced recording technology to handle complex audio scenarios with precision. The recorder features eight discrete inputs with locking Neutrik XLR/TRS combo connectors, each equipped with low-noise preamps offering up to 75dB of gain. Its standout feature is 32-bit float recording technology, which virtually eliminates clipping by capturing an enormous dynamic range, meaning gain adjustments during recording are rarely necessary. It supports sample rates up to 192kHz and records to dual SD card slots (supporting cards up to 1TB each) for redundant recording. Additional professional features include accurate 0.2ppm timecode with BNC connectors, Zoom's AutoMix function for automatic level balancing, built-in high-pass filters, phase inversion, and mid-side decoding. It also functions as an 8-in/4-out USB audio interface, allowing for simultaneous recording to SD cards and a computer. The F8n Pro is ideally suited for film sets, documentary production, location sound recording, and any scenario where capturing pristine, multi-channel audio is critical. Its three power options (AA batteries, external DC battery pack, or 12V AC adapter) and rugged form factor make it highly versatile for field use. Wireless control is available via the free F8 Control App for iOS and Android, facilitating remote operation and metadata entry. This recorder provides a comprehensive, professional-grade audio solution that balances advanced capabilities with operational reliability.
