Review: Zoom F3 Review – Studio-Quality Sound in a Compact Recorder - I recently connected my Zoom F3 to my Xone 92 mixer, and from the moment I powered it up, I knew this recorder was something special. Setup was incredibly easy — literally plug and play. Within minutes, I was ready to record, which isn’t something I can say for most recording devices I’ve tried over the years. I’m extremely particular when it comes to audio quality. Over time, I’ve experimented with many different recorders, interfaces, and setups trying to achieve that clean, dynamic, professional sound you hear on mastered tracks. The Zoom F3 completely exceeded my expectations. The 32-bit float recording is a total game changer. You don’t have to stress about gain levels or clipping — it captures everything perfectly, from the quietest moment to the loudest peak, with flawless headroom. It’s honestly hard to believe the difference until you hear it. After recording my DJ mix through the F3, I simply removed the microSD card, transferred the files to my computer, and listened back. The quality blew me away — full, rich, and crystal clear. It sounded just like a professionally mastered track straight from Beatport. The low end was tight, the highs were sharp without distortion, and the overall sound had incredible depth and balance. For me, the Zoom F3 has taken all the guesswork and frustration out of recording. It’s compact, solidly built, and produces results that rival high-end studio equipment. If you’re serious about your sound — whether you’re recording DJ sets, live performances, podcasts, or field audio — the Zoom F3 is absolutely worth it. I was genuinely excited listening back to my first recording. It’s rare to find a piece of gear that delivers exactly what it promises, but this one does. The Zoom F3 has instantly become a permanent part of my setup.
Review: GREAT 32bit Field Recorder for Solo Production Team. - The Zoom F3 Professional Field Recorder is an excellent choice for those looking for high-quality sound in a compact package. With two XLR inputs and very low self-noise, it delivers clear and professional audio. The standout feature is its 32-bit float recording, which handles a wide range of sound levels, making post-production a breeze. The build quality is solid with a mix of metal and plastic, ensuring durability without adding extra weight. Power efficiency is another plus; it runs for over six hours on just two AA batteries. However, be aware that it doesn't have traditional gain controls and lacks 3.5mm inputs, which might be a downside for some. Overall, it's a fantastic tool for solo operators and those needing a portable yet powerful audio recorder.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the preamps comparable to the f6/f8?**
A: Seems like it. I had the F6, returned it for the Tascam X8, mostly for price, but then when the F3 was announced, I pre-ordered it and returned the X8, which I wanted to love, but didn't. I'm finding the sound quality to be the same as the F6. My first job using the F3 went flawlessly. One mic, solo shooting, no opportunity to adjust anything during the event, five speakers back-to-back. Easily adjusted for very different speaker volumes in post.

**Q: If I use the line out to a camera will it output the 32 bit floating audio?**
A: NO - From what I tested - I was able to set the levels of the output to the camera when I change the size of the waveform of the F3. However, the audio that was recorded into my camera was standard 24bit audio as if I used a mic directly to the camera. This makes sense to me because the audio coming out of the F3 is analog at that point which doesn't carry over the 32-bit technology. The wave file recorded to the SD card inside the F3 is where the digital 32-bit float format is created/captured.

**Q: When plugged into your laptop or tablet by usb-c, can the zoom f3 be powered as well by the usb-c or must it always run on batteries?**
A: It does not need batteries to run when plugged in via USB. This was a big point for me as I'm using it on a camera rig so didn't want the extra weight of batteries.

**Q: Can recording be paused and restarted, saving audio to the same file? Or is it only possible to stop, beginning a new file when you restart?**
A: Yes and yes.
