When it comes to recording in the field: the simpler the setup, the better. Case in point, Zoom’s F3 2-input Track recorder is a pocket-sized portable field recorder that’s perfect for interviews, film sets, or even impromptu home recording sessions. No matter where you are, the F3’s two independent XLR inputs with high-end preamps will capture your audio in crystal-clear quality, boasting an ultra-low EIN -127dBu noise floor

Simple, efficient design

Recording setups can be intimidating for beginners, but the Zoom F3 is packed full of features that make it an intuitive plug-and-play solution to your field recording needs. Automatic gain adjustment removes the potential for takes that are too quiet or too loud — great for recording remote interviews or on-site sound when you’re in an unpredictable environment. Plus, the REC hold button prevents you from accidentally pressing the wrong button and ruining a perfect take.

Small size, big features

If you’re tired of lugging around large recording equipment for your setup, the F3 is a dream come true! This field recorder can be easily placed in a pocket during takes or transport. What’s more, the F3 clocks in at an impressively light 8.53 ounces, making it a great option for use with a wrist strap.

Plenty of power

The Zoom F3 promises up to 8 hours of operation using just 2 AA batteries. Or, for home use, simply run the Zoom off of the optional power supply (not included).
