Zoom F6 Line Out Issue & Workaround

In today’s episode, we demonstrate an issue with the ZOOM F6 and how to work around the issue. Specifically, when sending audio from the ZOOM F6 to a hybrid camera with a 3.5mm input, you have to reduce the output level on the F6. But when you do this, a substantial hiss is introduced to the audio. To fix this, you can use an attenuator cable to reduce the audio level which solves the issue.
