Zoom F6 Initial Tests & Impressions: Wide Dynamic Range Audio Field Recorder
Please consider signing up for our ZOOM F6 course over at https://school.learnlightandsound.com/p/zoom-f6
Zoom announced their new F6 audio field recorder for film and video at NAB 2019. I was fortunate enough to borrow a pre-production copy for a couple of days and ran it through some initial tests. In particular, I wanted to see how well this dual analogue to digital conversion with 32 bit float WAV recording worked and whether it really prevented clipping. I was also curious as to how clean the recordings would be. To my delight, the F6 records extraordinary amounts of dynamic range so you don’t have to worry about clipping nor do you need to be terribly concerned with noise floor. At the time of launch, the F6 is priced at $650 USD. This tiny recorder is impressive!
