Zoom F2 Ultracompact Portable Field Recorder

The Zoom F2 is an ultracompact portable field recorder that allows you to capture clear, distortion-free dialog instantly for your next video shoot, podcast, vlog, or interview. Here are some features that make the Zoom F2 stand out:

• 32-bit Float Technology

  The F2 can handle softest and loudest sounds without distortion and maintains low-noise performance without adjusting gain, thanks to its 32-bit float technology. This ensures that recordings ruined by clipped converters and poorly set preamps are a thing of the past.

• Low-Profile Lapel Mic with Locking Connector

  The included lavalier microphone, with its low-profile design and locking connector, is optimized for reliable and visually discreet operation that won't distract the wearer or the videographer. The omnidirectional polar pattern ensures consistent audio pickup from all directions, and three windscreens are supplied for easy reduction of light wind noise.

• High-Quality Recording Settings

  The F2 boasts two high-quality recording resolutions to choose from—32-bit / 44.1 kHz or 32-bit / 48 kHz, both in mono uncompressed BWF (Broadcast Wave File) format. No data compression means that no quality is lost in the creation of the audio files. Use the onboard 80 Hz low-cut filter to reduce rumble and bass buildup in your recordings.

• Record Direct to microSD Cards

  The F2 allows you to record directly to a microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC card (available separately) for up to 512GB of storage space, maximizing portability.

• Headphone/Line Output with Volume Control

  The locking 3.5mm stereo output jack with dedicated volume up/down buttons enables straightforward routing to your camera, DSLR, secondary recorder, or even headphones for easy monitoring.

• Power for Hours

  The F2 can be powered via two AAA alkaline, Lithium, or NiMH rechargeable batteries, a Zoom AD-17 power adapter (available separately), or a USB Type-C battery pack (available separately). With up to 15 hours of run time on AAA batteries, all-day shoots are no problem for the F2.

• USB File Transfers and Settings Editor

  The F2 Editor lets you adjust settings, format SD cards, and more from your Mac or Windows computer. Since the F2 has a USB Type-C port, simply connect it to your computer via a USB cable (available separately) and launch the editor. The USB connection also makes it easy to transfer files to your computer.

• Intuitive Controls and LED Indication

  The F2 has intuitive one-touch buttons—record, play, stop, and volume up/down—for fast, hassle-free operations with no menus to wade through. LEDs provide clear indication of audio level, battery status, and power.
