Zoom F6 Field Recorder/Mixer, Professional Field Recording, Audio for Video, 32-Bit Float Recording, 14 Channel Recorder, 6 XLR Inputs, Timecode, Ambisonics Mode, Battery Powered, iOS Wireless Control

Although I rarely write reviews, when I saw this had only 1 review and a 1-star rating, I felt compelled to do so This was such an amazing experience that I had to share it with you. To begin with, Kellard's was very fast with shipping, and they are a verified seller (I checked with the Zoom headquarters before making my purchase). A test was done where I compared this with my Apollo Twin Duo interface ($800-" AKG-900) paired with an AKG-150 digital music player (900 dollars for the 414 microphone). On my YouTube channel, I did a comparison between the two TV show by Josh Wright on piano I invite you to take a look if you want. My jaw was literally dropped at the capabilities of the zoom, and I liked the audio as much as the Apollo, if not more than it. From a technological perspective, it's a much better device, featuring 6 inputs, 32 outputs, and a host of other impressive features The recording is in bit float (which is the reason I purchased it in the first place), and Dual A/D converters are included. My first purchase was a Zoom H6 which I dissatisfied with, so I opted for the Zoom F6 and am more than pleased with my purchase. I would highly recommend this purchase to anyone seeking a very compact, high-performance setup with incredible audio quality and technology. As a soloist and orchestral performer, I'm excited about being able to record my performances in this way. I want to thank Zoom for making such a great product at such a great price.

I am very impressed with the way this recorder is built and how it functions. In the present version, the machine hangs if you try to playback any files recorded with 30ND time code and you must remove the batteries to reset it. It will give 5 stars if it were not afflicted by a fatal fault. This fatal flaw has been acknowledged by Zoom and I hope that a future update will fix this. (There was an earlier version of an amazing amount of flexibility for a recorder of its size, maybe more than any other recorder in this class. It is well written and easily explains all of the operating modes and functions of the machine. It may seem overwhelming at first but each and every menu setting is addressed in full detail in the 200-page operation manual (PDF available online). I am updating Version 1. 04 is the most recent update to the firmware. A fatal bug in 30ND timecode mode is fixed in version 2.

It has only been a few short days since I introduced the Zoom F6, so my review here is based on my initial There is almost no comparison between this unit and the standard size mixers, so if you're accustomed to the size, you may be disappointed. As well as being very light, it is designed for audio recording in the field or on the go. Although, it seems that the construction is durable, the layout and compactness of this unit may be unnecessarily small. There is a little bit of a tight fit between the gain knobs, which isn't the worst of it, just an observation. There are even smaller menu buttons, but this does not cause any difficulties. As a first-generation device, Zoom has taken bold steps to meet the future needs of recordists by implementing its proprietary 32bit floating point recording technology. Looking ahead to the future, Zoom has taken bold steps to meet its customers' needs. They hit the nail on the head, didn't they? There is still time to find out. How about a recommendation regarding whether or not it is worth buying? It is a disgrace that there isn't an out via XLR or 14 inch connection in this recorder. Do not set gain or worry about clipping or low floor noise in a unit that can be powered three ways and with six inputs. I bought a 1/8 because it was functional, but it was not sturdy or professional. If Zoom had made the chassis a bit wider, the knobs could have be staggered easily and space for more connections, such as SDI time-code, Line Out options, and a second card slot, would have been available. Is it possible the MKii would be the answer? As someone who has had the pleasure of working with all kinds of expensive equipment, this is by far the best value for the price and the 32GB model features outstanding. I gave Bit Float a four-out-of-five rating. Will be a great tool for both beginners and professionals While there are things that can be improved on this unit, it could potentially become a legend in time.

The Zoom F8n recorder is replaced by the Zoom F6 recorder. Most of the time, I use the device to record podcasts, but I also occasionally record films. The 32 bit float recording is pretty impressive, it's nice knowing that there's a slim chance for me to mess up a recording. A few things need to happen for me to forget to hit record, fail to point the mics correctly, or for the SD card to fail. Positive qualities - Float recording in 32 bits - The USB C Type is available in all USB ports It is easier to adjust the levels
Con
s of Compact
- As much as I would like to use the Zoom F8n, the menu interface isn't that easy to use. Please note It would have been nice to have dual SD card support, but I don't keep a computer in my podcast studio. I know I could connect to a computer for backup, but I don't. Please note The 1/4 inputs on the device have been replaced by XLRs. I would like to play guitar on the device. Please note I used a powered headphone splitter, so 1/4 fit my needs much better. 5mm is fine but I prefer a powered headphone splitter. Please note It is necessary to use a Bluetooth adapter to use the iOS app (would love to see Android support).

Overall I am very happy with this product and hope Zoom will add 32 bit floating point to all of their.
