Zoom F2 Field Recorder and Lavalier Microphone Overview:

For podcasters, videographers, bloggers, journalists and more, the F2 is the perfect audio solution for creators on the move.

DON’T BE FOOLED BY ITS SIZE
The F2 is incredibly small, but its audio quality will amaze you.

AUDIO ON AUTOPILOT
The F2 features 32-bit float recording technology, allowing you to record the loudest audio signals without worrying about clipping. It will also record the quietest signals in beautiful detail. And the best part is you don’t have to worry about setting the gain. Just plug in the lav and hit record.

Once you start your recording, use the F2’s HOLD switch to ensure you don’t accidentally stop recording

LOCK ‘N LAV
Screw-lock connectors keep your lav plugged-in securely no matter the situation.

THE F2 EDITOR
The F2 Editor for PC and Mac allows you to adjust settings, format SD cards and more. Simply connect your F2 or F2-BT via a USB cable and launch the editor. The USB connection also makes it easy to transfer files to your computer. See the F2 Editor features here.
