Zoom F6 Multi Track Field Recorder

The Zoom F6 is an ultra-compact, budget-friendly multi track field recorder that represents a middle ground between the more-advanced F8n and the handheld H6. Key features include:

Great for location recording and production sound
32-bit float for clipping-free recordings
Ambisonic audio for VR, AR, and 360-audio productions

Advanced, Budget-Friendly Multitrack Recorder. The Zoom F6 Multi Track Field Recorder is a portable, feature-rich fourteen-track field recorder that’s great for use in the field and on set. It captures crystal-clear clipping-free audio whether you’re using it for sound effects, location sound, or electronic news gathering.

32-Bit Float for Clipping-Free Recordings. The F6 is designed to handle sudden, unexpected shifts in volume in stride without compromising the quality of your captured audio. Its 32-bit float resolution and dual-path A/D converters mean that it’s able to cover the audible spectrum without any digital clipping.

Configurable Recording Settings. The F6 gives you a range of recording modes designed to suit your purposes. You can record all six inputs at the 192 kHz maximum resolution in 24-bit linear or 32-bit float, but Zoom’s dual-path A/D converters also give you the option of recording them simultaneously at up to 96 kHz in 24-bit and 32-bit float while printing a stereo mix.

Ambisonic Support. The F6 lets you record audio in a range of ambisonic formats for VR, AR, and 360-audio productions. The ambisonics mode is versatile, giving you precision A-to-B decoding and balanced gain linking, and the option to use channels 1 to 4 for ambisonic recording while using channels 5 and 6 for other signals like boom or lav mics. You can use the free Zoom Ambisonics Player software to get the most out of the F6’s ambisonic capabilities.

SDXC Card Slot. The single SDXC card slot allows for recording on an SD memory card (separate rental item), with support for SDXC cards up to 512 GB for even longer recording times.

Full-Color LCD. The F6 has a highly visible 1.5-inch full-color backlit LCD that makes leveling and menu navigation quick and simple. A monochromatic mode makes the F6 easy to use in any environment—from low light to direct sunlight.

Three Power Solutions. This recorder can operate on four AA batteries (not included), a Sony L-Series type battery (not included), or a USB Type-C connection.

Q & A

Why don't you include the AA battery case by default?

Due to accessibility restrictions caused the design of the F6 recorder, we find the Sony L-Series battery to be a much better solution. If you would like us to include the AA battery case, please request it in the special instruction box prior to checkout and we’ll include it at no additional cost.

How do I power this thing?

We include an AC adapter and USB-C power cable by default but do not include a battery solution, including the F6 battery case. If you need a battery solution, we recommend adding an L-Series battery to your rental.
Need to power the F6 using a more readily available battery? No problem! We will add the F6 battery case at no additional cost if you request it in the special instructions box before submitting your order. Please note, while we will include the battery case at no cost, you will still need to provide your own batteries. If you need to rent AA batteries, we offer AA batteries in 4-packs and 8-packs as separate rental items.
