F8n PRO - Zoom’s New Flagship Field Recorder.

Filmmakers and sound professionals know the importance of sharp, clean audio in storytelling. From the click of a seatbelt to the roar of an engine, the F8n Pro’s 8 inputs capture full dynamic range using 32-bit float technology.

Tour the F8n Pro

  1. Display

    The F8n Pro's 2.4-inch full-color backlit display with monochromatic mode makes field work equally easy in low or direct lighting.

  2. Slate Switch

    The F8n Pro's has a built-in slate mic for recording comments as well as the ability to output a variable frequency tone signal.

  3. Transport Controls

    The control panel features stop, search forward and search backward keys as well as illuminated play/pause and record buttons.

  4. Input Controls

    Each input features a built-in preamp with a dedicated gain control knob and a 6-segment LED level meter.

  5. USB Port

    A USB port enables firmware updates, file transfer, and allows the F8n Pro to be used as an 8-in/4-out USB audio interface operating at sample rates up to 32-bit float / 96kHz.

  6. Inputs

    The F8n Pro provides 8 discrete inputs with locking Neutrik XLR/TRS combo connectors, allowing you to plug in any microphone, wireless pack, or line level device. Any input can also be used as a camera return.

  7. SD Card Slots

    Record on two SD/SDHC/SDXC cards, up to 1 TB each, simultaneously, allowing you to instantly backup or split recordings.

  8. Headphone Jack

    The unit’s 1/4" headphone jack also comes with dedicated volume control.

  9. MAIN OUTPUTS

    The F8n Pro provides four outputs: two Main Outs (on balanced TA3 mini-XLR jacks) for connection to external mixers and processing devices; and two Sub Outs (on a single unbalanced 1/8" stereo mini-jack) for connection to a camera. The F8n Pro also provides a selectable +4 dBu output.

  10. DC POWER

    The F8n Pro can be powered by a 9-18V external DC power supply.

  11. Time Code In/Out

    Timecode can be generated internally or transmitted from an external timecode generator.

  12. 10-PIN MIC CONNECTOR

    Our proprietary 10-pin connector enables the use of interchangeable Zoom mic capsules, with optional extension cables that allow for remote positioning
