ZOOM F2 Body Pack Lavalier Audio Recorder
In this episode, we take a look at and a listen to the ZOOM F2 audio recorder. This tiny little body pack audio recorder allows you to record with a lavalier microphone to a microSD memory card. The headline feature of the F2 and F2-BT is that you do NOT need to set the input level or gain. You just turn it on and start recording. If the levels are too low or too high, you just adjust them in your video or audio editing app on your Mac or PC.
If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. Our latest course is Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini.
