The Zoom F2 recorder uses 32-bit float technology that can capture the softest and loudest sounds at the without additional levelling, while avoiding distortion, clipping, and maintaining low-noise performance. It is not necessary to adjust gain anymore when in this mode. Zoom made a video explaining the 32-bit float recording and comparing it to the 24-bit linear.

There are two high-quality recording modes to choose from – 32-bit / 44.1 kHz or 32-bit / 48 kHz, both in mono uncompressed BWF (Broadcast Wave File) format. Further, the onboard 80 Hz low-cut filter can be engaged to reduce rumble and bass buildup in the recordings.

INCLUDED LAVELIER MICROPHONE

The included LMF-2 lavalier microphone features a low-profile design, omnidirectional polar pattern, and locking connector. It comes with three WSL-1 windscreens and the Zoom MCL-1 clip. F2 can accommodate mic- or line-level signals via its locking 3.5mm stereo mini-jack input. Since it supplies 2.5V plug-in power, users can attach any common condenser mic. Mind you that included lav mics with recorders are usually not the greatest quality. It's a bit like a kit lens on a camera. It's okay for what it is but using a better mic will of course get you better results with this recorder.

POWER & CONNECTION

A locking 3.5mm stereo output jack with dedicated volume up/down buttons enables straightforward routing to a camera, secondary recorder, or headphones for monitoring. The recorder features simple one-touch controls and a long battery life of up to 18 hours with two AAA batteries.

RECORDING MEDIA

The Zoom F2 uses MicroSD cards (up to 512GB capacity) to store the recorded audio. As opposed to the Tentacle Sync Track E, the memory card needs to be purchased separately. The files can also be transferred via the built-in USB-C port. Zoom includes a free license for Steinberg WaveLab Cast software that enables users to edit, enhance, mix, and export audio.

BUILT FOR BIG THINGS

For podcasters, videographers, bloggers, journalists and more, the F2 is the perfect audio solution for creators on the move.

DON'T BE FOOLED BY ITS SIZE

The F2 is incredibly small, but its audio quality will amaze you.

AUDIO ON AUTOPILOT

The F2 features 32-bit float recording technology, allowing you to record the loudest audio signals without worrying about clipping. It will also record the quietest signals in beautiful detail. And the best part is you don't have to worry about setting the gain. Just plug in the lav and hit record.
