ment before connecting any cables.

Always disconnect all connection cables

and the AC adapter before moving the unit.

Volume

Do not use at a loud volume for extended

periods.

Usage Precautions

Interference with other electrical equipment

In consideration of safety, the has been

designed to minimize its emission of electro-

magnetic waves and to suppress interference

from external electromagnetic waves. How-

ever, equipment that is very susceptible to

interference or that emits powerful electro-

magnetic waves could result in interference if

placed nearby. If this occurs, place the

and the other device farther apart.

With any type of electronic device that uses

digital control, including the , electromag-

netic interference could cause malfunction,

corrupt or destroy data and result in other

unexpected trouble. Always use caution.

Cleaning

Use a soft cloth to clean the exterior of the unit

if it becomes dirty. If necessary, use a damp

cloth that has been wrung out well to wipe it.

Never use abrasive cleansers, wax or solvents

such as alcohol, benzene or paint thinner.

Breakdown and malfunction

If the unit becomes broken or malfunctions,

immediately disconnect the AC adapter or DC

power supply, turn the power off and discon-

nect other cables. Contact the store where you

bought the unit or ZOOM service center with

the following information: product model,

serial number and speciﬁc symptoms of break-

down or malfunction, along with your name,

address and telephone number.

Introduction

F8n Multi Track Field Recorder

Introduction

Thank you very much for purchasing a ZOOM Multitrack Field

Recorder. The has the following features:

• 8 analog input channels with super high-quality preamps

The 8 lockable XLR/TRS combo jacks provide high-quality analog

inputs with EIN of 127 dBu or less, +75 dB maximum input gain and −

support for +4 dB input.

• PCM recording at up to 192kHz/24-bit resolution

• Recording of up to 10 tracks simultaneously

Inputs 1–8 and a stereo mix (left and right) can be recorded at the

same time (8 tracks when the sampling rate is 192 kHz).

• Dual channel recording of separate ﬁles at lower levels

simultaneously with ordinary recording (Inputs 1–4)

Using dual channel recording at a lower input level, you can create

backup recordings to use when unexpected loud noise causes regu-

lar recordings to distort, for example.

• Newly redesigned limiters for overload protection

With 10 dB of headroom, this limiter prevents distortion even more

than ordinary ones. The threshold can also be set to keep the signal

below that level.

• Time code with pinpoint accuracy

The utilizes a high-precision oscillator that generates time-code

with accuracy of 0.2ppm, ensuring rock-solid stability when syncing

audio and video.

• Outputs include a stereo headphone jack with a powerful

100mW amp as well as MAIN OUT 1/2 and SUB OUT 1/2

jacks

This allows you to send the audio signal to a video camera or other

device while monitoring with headphones.

• Built-in digital mixer with ﬂexible signal routing

Prefader and postfader signals from inputs 1–8 can be freely routed

to any outputs.

• Phantom power (+24V/+48V) can be supplied

This can be turned on/off for each input separately.

• Three possible power sources—batteries, an AC adapter and

an external DC power supply

In addition to AA batteries and an AC adapter, a 9-18V external DC

power supply can also be used.

• Double SDXC card slots

Simultaneous recording on 2 SD cards is possible, and support for

SDXC cards up to 512 GB enables long-duration recording. In addi-

tion, the can be used as a card reader by connecting to a com-

puter using USB.

• USB audio interface capabilities with up to 8 ins and 4 outs

The can be used not only as a 2-in/2-out audio interface, but also

as an 8-in/4-out audio interface (driver required for Windows).

• Other useful features

Other convenient functions include a built-in slate mic for voice

memos and a variable frequency slate tone generator to conﬁrm lev-

els. There are also input and output delays and pre-recording of up to

6 seconds.

• ZOOM mic capsules can be connected

Use any ZOOM mic capsule instead of inputs 1/2.

Please read this manual carefully to fully understand the functions of

the so that you can make the most of it for many years.

After reading this manual, please keep it with the warranty in a safe

place.

NOTE

• When recording with a Mono/Stereo WAV setting, the audio les

are saved in a take folder that is created. ( P.38)→

• When recording to 2 SD cards simultaneously, les will be saved

in take folders with the same name on both cards. Folders will be

created automatically if they do not already exist.

• If recording should stop on one SD card because, for example, it

runs out of space, recording will continue on the other SD card.

At such times, do not remove the card that has stopped recording

from the slot. Doing so could damage the card or data.
