Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Zoom F6 is a compact six-input multitrack recorder for field work where source levels can shift quickly. Its 32-bit float recording and dual A/D converters are designed to capture loud and quiet material without gain adjustment. Each input offers selectable mic or line level through one of six preamps, while headphone monitoring lets you check tracks before or after the fader. It records WAV files at 32-bit float up to 96 kHz, 24-bit up to 192 kHz, or both at once, with detailed metadata and 0.2 ppm TCXO timecode.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Field recordings with rapidly changing dynamics, including very loud and very quiet sound sources.
- Six-input location recording that needs selectable mic or line level on every input.
- Projects requiring timecode synchronization, track metadata and pre- or post-fader headphone monitoring.
