It records in 32-bit float WAV format, providing substantial post-production flexibility when a source is much quieter or louder than expected. Its small format helps it fit into camera rigs, boom setups, and portable recording kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis recorder is suited to filmmakers, sound recordists, musicians, and content creators who need dependable two-input capture away from a studio. Two locking XLR mic\/line inputs accommodate professional microphones and balanced line-level sources. A headphone output and separate line output support monitoring and feeding audio to compatible cameras or other equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe F3 uses dual A\/D converter circuits, so conventional input-gain adjustment is not required for recording. Its microphone preamps have an equivalent input noise rating of -127 dBu or less under the stated test conditions. The result is a clean recording path intended for quiet ambience, dialogue, interviews, effects gathering, and high-level sound sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecordings are saved directly to microSDHC or microSDXC media as mono or stereo 32-bit float WAV files at sample rates up to 192 kHz. BWF and iXML formats are supported for production-oriented file handling. A backlit LCD provides real-time waveform monitoring while recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe F3 can also serve as a 2-in\/2-out USB audio interface for computer, smartphone, or tablet workflows. It runs from two AA batteries, USB bus power, a compatible USB power source, or the optional Zoom AD-17 AC adapter. Optional accessories can add Bluetooth remote control or wireless timecode-oriented workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e32-Bit Float Recording:\u003c\/strong\u003e Captures wide source-level changes with flexible level adjustment during editing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual A\/D Converters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports recording without conventional input-gain adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Locking XLR Inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides secure connections for microphones and XLR line-level sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-Noise Preamps:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers an equivalent input noise rating of -127 dBu or less.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp To 192 kHz Recording:\u003c\/strong\u003e Records mono or stereo 32-bit float WAV files.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB Audio Interface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Operates as a 2-in\/2-out USB interface up to 96 kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe F3 has a compact metal casing with durable side bars, slide-resistant rubber feet, locking XLR connectors, and a standard tripod mount.
