As SOS Technical Editor Hugh Robjohns explained in a recent SOS Forum post: Lange hab ich auf das ZOOM F8n Pro warten müssen, nun ist es da und ich hatte schon erste Anwendungen sowohl als Aufnahmegerät als auch als netzunabhängiger Mischer. Erst mal das Postive Fazit: Klanglich ist das ZOOM F9n Pro astrein, sowohl bei den Aufnahmen auf die SD-Karte als auch als Audioschnittstelle zu meinem Cubase und Wavelab auf dem Laptop. The F8n Pro is well-equipped for long location shoots or remote fieldwork, with a variety of power options and massive storage.

Record simultaneously on two SD cards, up to 1TB each, allowing for redundant recording. Zoom F8n-Pro The F8n Pro's Ambisonics mode offers precision A-to-B decoding and balanced gain linking, enabling you to capture spatial audio for VR, AR and more. Zoom F8n Pro Features Zoom AutoMix lets you keep your eyes on the action by automatically adjusting the levels of your mix to reduce ambient sound.

Was mich an diesem Gerät besonders interessiert hat, ist die Möglichkeit, netzunabhängig (ein 12V-Alarmanlagen-Bleiakku o.ä. mit passendem Kabel reicht für viele Stunden) auch die 8 Eingänge abmischen und in eine Akku-betriebene PA-Box einzuspeisen. Dafür muss man sich erst mal in das Aussteuerungskonzept einarbeiten. When connected to your computer, the F8n Pro can be used as a 8-in / 4-out audio interface.

EXPANDED CONTROL So what Zoom have done is split the input signal to feed two preamps, each feeding its own A-D converter, with each set optimised to handle a different segment of the total audio dynamic range from the source.

One of the most unique features is the advanced look-ahead hybrid limiters. These custom limiters provide overload protection, no matter the source. The limiter works by adding a 1-millisecond delay. This eliminates clipping before its recorded, ensuring you capture the perfect take. The limiter is available for all 8 channels simultaneously. It provides 10 to 20dB of headroom, which is highly useful when it comes to mixing and mastering audio.
