Advanced Look-Ahead Hybrid Limiters

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.

Mic Preamps

The F8n features a super-low noise floor (−127 dBu EIN) and high gain (up to 75 dB).
Mic/line levels are selectable for both XLR and TRS inputs.

Zoom AutoMix™

Meet your new assistant sound editor, the Zoom AutoMix™. This smart software automatically adjusts
the levels of your mix to reduce the amount of ambient sound, so you can focus on what really
matters – capturing a well-balanced mix.

State-Of-The-Art Time Code

The F8n utilizes a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) that generates time
code at 0.2 ppm accuracy, enabling rock-solid syncing of audio and video. When powered off,
the F8n will maintain up to 0.2 ppm accuracy. Time code I/O is provided on BNC connectors.

Simultaneous-Recording

The F8n can record to an SD card and your computer via USB simultaneously. For use during livestreaming,
file back-up and more. And you can easily back up your files and stream live while recording.
