Zoom F3 32-Bit Float Recorder

The Zoom F3 is a compact two-channel field recorder that captures 32-bit float audio at up to 192 kHz. Dual AD converters and locking XLR inputs provide clip-free recording without gain adjustment. Rugged metal casing and mounting options suit on-location sound capture.

Who should choose this

Ideal for field recordists and video crews who need reliable, gain-free capture in unpredictable environments. The 127 dBu EIN preamp noise floor supports quiet dialogue and ambient work. Buyers needing more than two simultaneous tracks or built-in timecode sync should look at larger multi-track units.

Check your workflow before buying

Ensure your SD cards support capacities up to 512 GB for extended sessions. Verify that your post-production software handles 32-bit float WAV files natively. Confirm that phantom power requirements for your microphones match the recorder’s XLR input specification. Plan for battery runtime appropriate to your shoot length.

Questions about this item

What type of microphones or line sources do I need to connect to the two locking XLR inputs?

The two locking XLR inputs accept balanced microphones or line-level sources with standard three-pin XLR connectors; each channel has its own high-quality preamp and dual AD converter for 32-bit float recording.

Can I use my existing SD cards, and what is the maximum capacity supported?

The recorder writes mono or stereo 32-bit float WAV files at up to 192 kHz to SD cards with a maximum capacity of 512 GB.

How can I confirm the recorder is capturing clip-free audio without setting gain?

The 32-bit float format and dual AD converters capture the full dynamic range automatically; after recording, play back the file and verify that levels never hit 0 dBFS even on sudden loud sounds.
