5/20/2023 0 Comments Zoom test audio![]() I would not want to launch the F3 off a cliff, but I am confident that if I accidentally drop it a few times it would be none the worse off. Even so, it shares the F6’s design style and feels solid and sturdy. This keeps the device remarkably small and lightweight. Locking the F3 to 32-bit means it does not need input gain controls. ![]() 32-bit is such a massive advance in recording capability that once you have worked with it, it is different to go back. ![]() Even so, it is surprising Zoom has made that leap so suddenly with the F3. Give it a few more years but I am confident that all devices will be 32-bit and the other formats will be phased out. This choice is significant for several reasons. There are several other 32-bit devices on the market including models from Zoom such as the F6, the key difference is that the F3 is only 32-bit. The F3 is a 32-bit float recording device. I was lucky enough to temporarily get my hands on a unit for the purposes of this review.Įverything I read about the Zoom F3, and what it promises to do, shows why people are excited about the unit. The response to that announcement internationally was a flood of inquiries about when it would become available in the US who would be stocking it and how much would the unit sell for. This unit was announced around late January 2022 and with an initial release in Japan only. In this case, I am fairly certain I have the only Zoom F3 in Australia and the Zoom website does not yet have an English version of the manual. Normally I read the manual thoroughly prior to reviewing any device. Firstly, I cannot comment on the unboxing experience because the preproduction unit has no box: no box, no packaging, no accessories and no manual. This review will be slightly different from my usual format.
