Audio Recorders
Zoom F6 Field Recorder Rental in Surrey, BC
A six-input field recorder that records in 32-bit float, so a quiet voice and a sudden shout both come out clean without anyone riding the gain. All six inputs take XLR mics, and timecode in and out keeps it in sync with a camera that supports it. Two of our Sennheiser G3 sets give you two people on separate tracks. It runs on an NP-F battery, four AA batteries or USB-C power.

Good to know
- One NP-F970 battery and one 32GB SD card are in the case. Four AA batteries or USB power also run it.
- All six inputs are XLR, with no 1/4-inch jacks, so add an XLR cable for each mic.
- There are no built-in mics. Pair it with a shotgun or a wireless kit from the list below.
- Timecode in and out share one 3.5 mm jack, so syncing to a camera needs a timecode cable for that camera.
