Fluctuating dynamics in the field are no longer an issue. The F6's 32-bit float recording with dual A/D converters captures loud and subtle sounds with full audio quality—no gain adjustment needed.

Rugged and Compact Design

Built for the toughest conditions and small enough for tight spaces, the F6 is perfect for on-the-go recording.

Mic Preamps

Six professional-grade preamps deliver super-low noise (-127 dBu EIN) and high gain (up to 75 dB) with selectable mic/line levels for each input, ensuring top-notch audio quality.

Precision Time Code

The Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) generates time code at 0.2 ppm accuracy, keeping tracks perfectly synced even when powered off.

Advanced Look-Ahead Hybrid Limiters

When recording in 24-bit, the F6's limiters "look ahead" with a 1-millisecond delay to prevent clipping before it occurs.

Zoom AutoMix™

Focus on the action while Zoom AutoMix™ automatically adjusts mix levels to reduce ambient noise.

Recording Formats

Record in 24-bit and 32-bit float up to 192 kHz or both simultaneously at up to 96 kHz.

Metadata Entry

Easily catalogue files with track names, scene names, notes, and more in BWF and iXML formats.
