Zoom F8n Pro Professional Field Recorder/Mixer, Audio for Video, 32-bit/192 kHz Recording, 10 Channel Recorder, 8 XLR/TRS Inputs, Timecode, Ambisonics Mode, Battery Powered, Dual SD Card Slots

Product Information

Accurate Time Code (0.2 ppm when on and up to 0.2 ppm when powered off) I/O on standard BNC connectors; dropframe/non-drop formats with Jam Sync Accurate Time Code input and output on BNC connectors (0.2 ppm in operation and up to 0.2 ppm after power off) So what Zoom have done is split the input signal to feed two preamps, each feeding its own A-D converter, with each set optimised to handle a different segment of the total audio dynamic range from the source.

Values are estimates only. Values based on in-house testing methods. Results will vary greatly according to use conditions. Display Stay focused - with Zoom AutoMix™. Zoom AutoMix keeps you on top of the action by automatically leveling your mix to reduce ambient noise. The F8n is equipped with Advanced Look-Ahead Hybrid Limiters that provide overload protection no matter what comes your way. By adding a 1 millisecond delay, the limiters “look ahead” anticipating clipping before it’s recorded. Limiting is applied to each of the 8 channels simultaneously at full resolution, with 10 to 20 dB of headroom to ensure pristine audio on every take.Der eingebaute Mixer hat für alle 8 Kanäle jeweils einen digitalen Fader, der bis zu 24 dB Regelbereich hat. Zuvor muss man via digitalem Trim-Regler alle Spuren auf einen vergleichbaren Pegel bringen, um mit den Möglichkeiten des Mixers auszukommen. Es gibt ja keinen Gainregler, mit dem man das üblicherweise machen würde.

The F8n Pro’s Ambisonics mode offers precision A-to-B decoding and balanced gain linking, enabling you to capture spatial audio for VR, AR and more. OTHER FEATURES Support for up to 24-bit/192 kHz recording, and 44.1 kHz, plus 47.952 kHz/48.048 kHz for HD video compatibility;

Accompanying the eight discrete inputs are high-end mic pres. The F8N Pro's custom microphone preamps feature a super-low noise floor. This provides optimised audio fidelity, eliminating any hiss from connected mics. The high gain (up to 75dB) allows you to record high-level sources, ideal for location recording where levels can reach high volumes. The mic/line levels are also selectable for both the XLR and TRS inputs. Advanced look-head hybrid limiters Recording with max. 32 bit/192 kHz as well as with 47.952/48.048 kHz formats for HD video compatibility A very worthwhile improvement, then, made all the more practical by the increased maximum SD card capacity (32-bit floating-point recording uses more data than a traditional fixed-point data stream).

No levelling required thanks to the 32-bit resolution and high-quality mic preamps with up to 75 dB gain and less than -127 dBu EIN The Zoom F8n Pro is well-equipped for long location shoots or remote fieldwork, with a variety of power options and massive storage. channels to SD 1/2 192kHz sampling frequency (32-bit float/16-bit linear/24-bit linear) MAIN/SUB OUT ON, TIMECODE Int Free Run, LED/LCD brightness 60, 32Ω headphones, PHANTOM 48 V

So in the simplest form, one preamp/A-D looks after the quieter sounds, and a second preamp/A-D takes the louder sounds. A DSP chip receives the outputs from the two converters and decides when to use the data from each on a sample-by-sample basis, effectively splicing them together to make a single converter with a much larger dynamic range than each individual element. The selected data is then slotted into a 32-bit floating point format with the appropriate amplitude scaling data which is what is recorded. channels to SD 1/2 192kHz sampling frequency (32-bit float/16-bit linear/24-bit linear) MAIN/SUB OUT ON, TIMECODE Int Free Run, LED/LCD brightness 60, 32 headphones, PHANTOM 48 V Use eight AA alkaline batteries for 5 hours of operation, or connect the supplied AD-19 AC adapter. Was mich an diesem Gerät besonders interessiert hat, ist die Möglichkeit, netzunabhängig (ein 12V-Alarmanlagen-Bleiakku o.ä. mit passendem Kabel reicht für viele Stunden) auch die 8 Eingänge abmischen und in eine Akku-betriebene PA-Box einzuspeisen. Dafür muss man sich erst mal in das Aussteuerungskonzept einarbeiten.
