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