21-02-22
COMPACT DIMENSIONS, BIG SOUND
With 32-bit float recording, the F3 records the softest raindrops and the loudest explosions with ease. Thanks to its compact dimensions, this recorder can be easily placed anywhere to record and listen to high-quality sound material (up to 192 kHz).
FOCUS ON THE SCENE
When shooting outdoors and on set, there are often rapidly fluctuating sound levels. The F3 adapts to every scene without having to reset the device every time and without worrying about clipping. In post-processing, you can always work with the recording, no matter how extremely quiet or loud the levels were.
AWARD-WINNING AUDIO
Thanks to the dual A/D converter and the low-noise preamps from our professional F-Series recorders, the F3 always ensures high-quality recordings, regardless of the environment or situation.
PRACTICE TESTED
The F3 features sturdy side brackets, a standard tripod mount and non-slip rubber feet, so you can mount it on all your equipment and set it up unobtrusively in any scene. Its robust metal housing and lockable XLR connectors are designed for use in a wide variety of environments.
WAV-WATCHING
- You can monitor your recordings with seamless accuracy as the F3 renders your audio with real-time waveforms.
RECORD AND LISTENING
- With the headphone output, your ears are always on the recording - and the line output also gives you access to your camera or other devices.
RECORDING ALL DAY CAREFREE
- With many power options and a large storage capacity, the F3 is well equipped for long shooting days and outdoor shooting in remote locations.
POWER ON BOARD
- You can work for eight hours with two alkaline batteries.
ALTERNATIVE NUTRITION
- You can charge without limits via the AD-17 mains adapter or a USB battery pack.
MEMORY CARDS
- With a microSD card of up to 1TB, you can record more than 180 hours of audio at the highest possible sampling rate/bit depth.
CONTROL OVER 10M DISTANCE
- The versatile control options give you more flexibility in your productions than ever before. Keep your distance from the set and control the audio recording from up to 10 meters away with the F3 Control App for iOS and Android. (The App F3 Control will be available from spring 2022. The BTA-1 adapter is available as an option).
AUDIO INTERFACE AND STREAMING
- Connect the F3 to a computer or iOS device via USB and use it as an audio interface to record and stream two channels in crystal-clear 24-bit/96-kHz resolution. The Loop-Back feature allows you to combine your computer's audio signal with the F3's inputs to complete the sound selection for your stream.
