Advanced Look-Ahead Hybrid Limiters
La ZOOM F8N is equipped with Advanced Look-Ahead Hybrid Limiters that offer overload protection no matter what puts them ahead. Adding a 1 millisecond delay, the “look ahead” limiters anticipate the clipping or clipping before it is recorded. The limitation applies to each of the 8 channels simultaneously to a total resolution, with between 10-20 dB of dynamic roof to ensure an immaculate audio in each shot.
Micro wares
The F8n has a super low residual noise (?127 dBu EIN) and a high profit (up to 75 dB). Micro/line levels are selectable for both XLR and TRS inputs.
Zoom AutoMixTM
We present your new sound editor assistant, the Zoom AutoMixTM. This smart software automatically adjusts the levels of your mix to reduce the amount of ambient sound and so you can focus on what really matters – capture a well-balanced mix.
Time Code avant-garde
The F8n uses a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) or glass oscillator with temperature compensation that generates time code with a precision of 0.2 ppm, allowing a solid synchronization as a rock between audio and video. When switched off, the F8n will maintain a precision of 0.2 ppm. I/O time code on BNC connectors is supplied.
Simultaneous recording
The F8n is able to simultaneously record an SD card and your computer via USB. And you can easily have a backup of your files and stream live while recording.
PROTEGE TUS GRABATIONS
Recording on a pair of SD cards
Graba simultaneously on two SD/SDHC/SDXC cards, up to 512 GB each, allowing any redundant recording.
Three Power Sources
A 4-pin Hirose connector allows the use of 9-18 volt DC batteries external packages. It is also possible to apply the current with 8 AA batteries or the AD-19 AC adapter included with your device. The F8n is able to change the power supply to a user-defined voltage level so that nothing interrupts the recordings.
Recording on dual channel
The F8n dual channel recording mode allows you to create security tracks by folding recordings from 1-4 inputs to 5-8 tracks. Each track can be controlled independently, allowing you to customize each security track with different gain, limitation and more.
Pre-Record
The pre-record function allows you to capture up to 6 seconds of audio before pressing the RECORD button.
MORE ALTO, MORE NINE, MORE CLARO
Volume, clarity and immersion are equally important for correct field monitoring. That is why updates have been made to the processing of F8n headphones to maximize the three. A digital gain enhancement has been added to minimize ambient noise bleeding, which can produce filtered into a causative comb in turn from poor audio quality.
It is possible to freely direct the signals to the left and/or right channels of the headphones, pre- or post-fader. In addition, the headphone output can be switched to monkey. It is also possible to adjust alert tones for headphones in case of low battery, start/recording stop or recording errors.
CONTROL INALÁMBRICO
The Zoom F8 Control app (for iOS / for Android) offers a wide wireless remote control of the F8n from your iPhone, iPad or Android using the Bluetooth LE protocol. Possible functions include baking levels and mixer fader as well as transport controls. It also monitors input levels, current time code and battery status. When finished, you can even enter file information and metadata directly from your iOS / Android device.
ZOOM F-CONTROL
Sold separately, the Zoom F-Control is the control surface with which you must count any serious equipment. With 60mm faders and clear channel indicators, F-Control's simple and ergonomic design gives you full authority over your workflow. Pair your F-Control with the Zoom F8 Control app to turn your iPhone, iPad or Android into a large meter monitor for easy reading.
360° AUDIO
Ambisonics
Capable of recording 360-audio, the F8n is an essential device for future engineers. The Ambisonics mode of the F8n offers decoding A to B, winning link and settings and a custom measurement display.
The Dream Team VR
To get the ultimate in VR equipment, pair the Zoom F8n with a Sennheiser micro MUBEO. Built for portability and supported by two quality names, this combination allows you to capture 360o higher quality audio anywhere.
