Zoom announced their new F6 audio field recorder for film and video at
NAB 2019. I was fortunate enough to borrow a pre-production copy for a
couple of days and ran it through some initial tests. In particular, I
wanted to see how well this dual analogue to digital conversion with 32
bit float WAV recording worked and whether it really prevented clipping.
I was also curious as to how clean the recordings would be. To my
delight, the F6 records extraordinary amounts of dynamic range so you
don’t have to worry about clipping nor do you need to be terribly
concerned with noise floor. At the time of launch, the F6 is priced at
$650 USD. This tiny recorder is impressive!
