Q: 2. Can this accept a TRRS connector? Like the RODE VideoMic Me?

A: No, the Zoom F2-BT has a 3.5mm TRS locking connector. like the one used by Sennheiser Sennheiser on the ME 2-II Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector (B&H # SEME2II).

Q: 3. To monitor Audio or shirt scruff, Can I use the App, or could I connect the F2 to a G2 wireless pack and use that?

A: The smartphone app can be used for remote control functions such as record start/stop, low-cut filtering, output volume, and battery display, but does not provide a way to listen to the audio. The headphone jack on the F2 provides a 3.5mm output to listen and monitor the audio while recording.

Q: 4. Will the Zoom F8 sync to the F2-BT?

A: Yes. You will need to use the UltraSync BLUE (BH #ATOMXSYBL1US) to sync the F2-BT and F8 to receive and write timecode to recorded files.

Q: 5. Is the F2 suitable to record nature audio such as bird calls, and ocean surf with the included mic or other external mics?

A: The F2 is intended to use with a lavalier microphone which is not suitable for recording nature audio. A lavalier mic picks up the sound of a person's voice when it's attached to clothing and placed in close proximity to their mouth. A better option for recording nature would be a recorder like the Zoom H1n 2-Input / 2-Track Portable Handy Recorder with Onboard X/Y Microphone - Gray (B&H # ZOH1NG) or Tascam DR-07X 2-Input / 2-Track Portable Audio Recorder with Onboard Adjustable Stereo Microphone (B&H # TADR07X). Both recorders feature a built-in stereo microphone which is suitable for recording ambient sounds like bird calls and ocean surf. Both the H1n and DR-07X also have an input to connect an external microphone, so you will have the option of using the built-in stereo mic or using a separate microphone to record audio.

Q: 8. Will lav mic wired for Sennheiser systems work with the F2? I'm concerned because the specs say the plug-in power is only 2.5 V but many professional mics, such as the DPA 4060, require 5 V or more.

A: No. It does plug in power only at 2.5V, so will not power the 4060. You are correct.

Q: 9. I have Red Komodo that I need timecode sync for zoomf2 BT version. The UltraSync Blue does not plug into Komodo so how do I sync it? Will zoom f2 BT work with tentacle sync gen for red komodo? If not what timesync generator can I get for Red Komodo and wc B box 5 pin lemon timecode out?

Q: 10. Can it be used to record from a wedding band's console?

A: The F2-BT was not intender for that type of application, but you can make it work. The input on the F2-BT is mic level while the output from the console is line level and also uses a locking 3.5mm TRS connector, so you will need to use a line-to-mic level attenuating cable to pad the console's output signal to match the recorder's input level as well as an adapter with a locking connector to attach to the recorder's input. We have a selection of attenuating cables with different types of connectors that will work. If the console has a "tape out" with dual RCA connectors, you can use the Sescom SES-43DB-# 43 dB Pad DSLR Attenuating Line to Mic Level Cable - 18" (B&H #SES43DBMZ2P). Then to connect to the input of the recorder, add a female-to-female coupler such as the Hosa Technology GMM303 3.5mm Female Stereo Mini to 3.5mm Female Stereo Mini Adapter (B&H #HOASMFSMF) along with a cable such as the Sennheiser CL1 cable (B&H #SECL1) which has standard and locking 3.5mm connectors on the ends. The locking end will connect to the F2-BT's input. Please feel free to contact us by phone or through live chat if you would like further assistance.
