Product Description

Advances in video have made filmmaking accessible to creators everywhere. But the accessibility of professional audio devices has not kept pace. Field recorders, with essential features such as time code, have been unobtainable for most. Until now. The F8 is made for serious filmmakers and sound designers. With 8-input/10-track recording, super low-noise preamps, and support for 24-bit/192kHz audio, the F8 captures the highest-quality audio.

Customers find the Zoom F8 Voice Recorder easy to use. They appreciate the intuitive controls, which allow them to quickly setup each mic and adjust the incoming audio level. However, some customers find the settings to be difficult to learn, so they wouldn't recommend learning them.

4 customers mention2 positive2 negative

Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the voice recorder. Some mention that it improves sound from even low-end mics, and the noise floor is very low. However, others say that it can be difficult to hear at all, the headphone amp is rather tinny, and you can miss audio artifacts. The audio noise floor and background noise was so loud that it wasn't always easy to hear the voices, and there was nothing you could do about it.

"...I just set the gain levels low on all 8 tracks, since the noise floor is low enough that I can set gain low, and give myself a lot of extra head..." Read more

"...Digital limiters don’t work well since the feature only kicks in after the audio is converted to digital, and by then the damage is done, so can’t..." Read more

"...and Energizer AA alkaline batteries don't work, eneloop rechargeable Ni-MH batters don't work, and Energizer lithium AA batteries don't work...." Read more

"...However, when you use phantom, the battery sucks up the power very quickly...." Read more
