### ZOOM F3 2-Channel Field Recorder

No gain adjustment required, no clipping. 32-bit float recorder.


The ZOOM 'F3' is a professional field recorder with two XLR balanced inputs, designed for "fail-proof recording." Equipped with two AD converters (dual AD converters) for low gain and high gain, it ensures high S/N ratio without clipping even at high volumes, and captures fine sounds accurately. The input signal is recorded in 32-bit float WAV format, preserving the resolution during recording, and maintaining the original resolution without degradation even after normalization in post-production.

Capture the sound you can't afford to miss. Introducing ZOOM 'F3'.
