Zoom F6

Properties:

The F6 is a mobile MultiTrack field audio recorder and mixer with 6 channels and 14 tracks for recording and mixing professional audio in 24 bit / 32 bit float up to 192 kHz. The recorder has six high-quality Neutrik XLR audio inputs, which accept MIC or LINE signals and are equipped with switchable phantom power. Six discrete microphone preamps on the front panel enable leveling. The advanced look-ahead hybrid limiters reliably prevent overloading. An accurate timecode via a 3.5 mm mini jack is also available for post-production. Recording is done on a separately available SD card (SDHC, SDXC). The F6 is powered either by four included AA batteries, a separately available AC adapter (AD-17) or a separately available Sony NP-F L-series battery.
