Zoom F1-LP Field Recorder with Lavalier Mic

The Zoom F1-LP pairs the F1 field recorder with the LMF-1 lavalier mic; the recorder rides on a belt or in a pocket and records dialogue at up to 24-bit/96 kHz.

Because the lav connects straight to the recorder, there is no wireless link to pick up interference. The LMF-1 plugs into a 3.5 mm mic/line input with a screw lock and 2.5 V plug-in power. The F1’s 10-pin connector also takes Zoom’s interchangeable mic capsules, such as the SSH-6, XYH-6, MSH-6, XYH-5, EXH-6, and SGH-6.

One-touch buttons set the record level, limiter, low-cut filter, and output volume, and the monochrome LCD stays readable in bright sunlight. Auto level control guards against overloads, a Rec Hold function locks the buttons, and a tone generator and sound marker help match levels and sync audio with a camera.

The F1 records BWF WAV or MP3 files to microSD cards up to 32 GB and runs on two AAA batteries or the AD-17 AC adapter. It also works as a USB audio interface with a computer or iPad.
