Zoom Introduces F1 Field Recorder + Lavalier Mic



Zoom has introduced the F1 Field Recorder + Lavalier Mic. It is described as the perfect solution for videographers who need to capture the nuance of every word with professional quality audio.

The F1 Field Recorder + Lavalier Mic completes your video’s story by providing outstanding audio no matter where your production takes you.

The F1-LP comes with Zoom’s newly engineered LMF-1 lavalier mic, designed for capturing every nuance. Combined with the F1, you can record high-resolution audio up to 24 bit/96 kHz, perfect for interviews, wedding vows, and more.

With its minimal profile, the F1 attaches neatly on belts, waistbands, or slipped into a pocket so the recorder can be easily concealed.

The LMF-1 Lavalier mic connects directly to the F1 and records to a micro SD card. By recording directly to the F1, interference or noise commonly experienced when using a wireless beltpack system is eliminated.

Essential Features for Videographers include:

  • Auto Lock – The Record Hold function or the Hold Switch can be used to prevent your subject from accidentally hitting buttons while recording.
  • No Chance of Overload – An on-board limiter and auto-level control keep your levels safe when spikes in loud volume occurs.
  • Convenient Power Sources – The F1can be powered using two AAA batteries (included) or with the optional AD-17 power adapter.
  • USB Connectivity – Transfer recordings to your computer in card reader mode or record directly to your computer or iPad using the F1 in USB audio interface mode.
