ZF3 - Overview

The Small And Mighty Field Recorder That Allows Up To 1TB To Record Over 180 Hours Of Audio!

Small Design, Big Sound
With 32-bit float recording, the ZOOM 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. Stay out of the shot and record from a distance of up to 30 feet (10m) using the F3 control app for iOS and Android.

Award Winning Audio
Featuring the dual A/D converters and low-noise preamps found in our professional F-Series recorders, the F3 guarantees high-quality recordings in any setting or situation. You can also monitor your recordings with seamless accuracy as the F3 displays your audio as real-time waveforms.

Battle Tested
The F3 is built with durable side bars, standard tripod mount and slide-resistant rubber feet ensuring that you can mount it on your gear or hide it in any scene. It's sturdy metal casing and locking XLR connectors is designed for use in a variety of environments. The headphone output allows you to keep an ear on your recordings, plus a line output enables you to go to your camera or other gear.

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 24-bit/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.
