{"product_id":"zoom-f8npro-uk-multitrack-field-recorder","title":"Zoom F8nPro MultiTrack Field Recorder","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Zoom F8n Pro is a multitrack field recorder for productions that need an organised, flexible sound department in a portable form. Eight external inputs accommodate a substantial microphone setup, while isolated recordings, a stereo mix and detailed routing let the recordist serve both the immediate production and the later edit. It is well suited to film, documentary, location dialogue and other work where several sound sources must remain separately usable. Dual-converter 32-bit float recording adds level flexibility, but the wider appeal is the complete workflow around those recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEight inputs for a properly planned sound kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe locking XLR\/TRS combination inputs accept microphone and line sources, with phantom power for compatible condenser microphones. This gives room for boom microphones, radio-microphone receiver feeds and additional production sources within one recorder. Recording each input independently means the dialogue editor can choose a cleaner microphone or adjust one contributor without rebuilding the entire scene. On location, take time to identify each channel clearly and check the connection from the original microphone through any receiver or adapter. A recorder with many inputs is most useful when the signal paths remain easy to understand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFloat recording protects editing latitude\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDual analogue-to-digital converters and 32-bit float files provide a wide capture range and substantial freedom to adjust levels in compatible software. This can reduce the pressure to chase sudden changes in delivery during a take. It does not repair distortion created by an upstream wireless system, an overloaded microphone or an inappropriate line-level feed. The recorder also supports conventional recording formats when the production requires them. Choosing the format with the editor before the shoot helps ensure that the flexibility gained at capture is supported throughout post-production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIsolated tracks, mix tracks and two recording cards\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe F8n Pro records up to eight isolated input tracks plus a stereo mix. The mix gives production and editorial a convenient listening reference, while isolated tracks preserve the material needed for detailed dialogue work. Rates extend to 192kHz, although the stereo mix is unavailable at that highest setting. Two SD card slots support recording arrangements that can help with redundancy or separate deliverables. Decide the card configuration before the job and confirm it with a test, then retain a separate backup process after recording rather than treating any single storage arrangement as the whole plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRouting that serves the rest of the crew\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMain outputs on TA3 connectors, a stereo sub output and a dedicated headphone path allow the recorder to feed different destinations. A camera reference, a production listening feed and the recordist's own monitoring may have different needs, so flexible routing matters as much as input count. Check each destination at its actual receiving device and establish an appropriate level. The recorder's headphone routing and solo facilities help inspect individual sources without losing track of the overall production mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTools for a busier dialogue session\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutomix can assist with the balance of multiple spoken sources, reducing the accumulation of unused microphone sound in the production mix. It complements the isolated tracks rather than replacing their value for editorial choices. The slate microphone and tone functions also help identify or communicate around takes within the recording workflow. These facilities become useful when the session has several contributors and many short recordings: the aim is to deliver material that is easy to identify and listen to, alongside the clean individual sources needed for detailed post-production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTimecode and metadata make the files easier to use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBNC timecode connections and a temperature-compensated oscillator specified at 0.2ppm support accurate synchronisation with compatible production equipment. Scene, take and track information helps editorial identify the material, while sound-report functions add context beyond the audio itself. Eight AA batteries, external DC or the compatible adapter provide power options, and eight-input, four-output USB interface operation adds a computer-recording role at supported settings. Choose the F8n Pro when the job calls for more than capturing sound: it helps you deliver well-organised, separately editable production audio within a coherent location workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zoom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58502935085439,"sku":"10010179","price":699.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/1216\/1407\/files\/zoom-f8npro-2560.jpg?v=1790191444","url":"https:\/\/sxpro.co.uk\/products\/zoom-f8npro-uk-multitrack-field-recorder","provider":"SX Pro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
