Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Why are people complaining about the "wonky" mic connector? Is it not a normal screw-down 1/8" input as found on other lav devices?

A: We are currently unfamiliar with any specific issues regarding the connector. This unit does have a threaded 1/8'' locking connection.

Q: 2. The zoom f2 supplies plug-in power to input. Will this damage a mic like the mke 600 which has it's own battery driven power?

A: The Zoom F2-BT Portable Field Recorder can supply up to 2.5V of plug-in power to condenser mics that require it. Since the Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone can be powered by a battery, it will not draw plug-in power from the F2-BT. There will not be problems and no way to damage the mic.

Q: 3. Does this recorder support "plug in" mic power? (aka 3 volt or 5 volt "bias")

A: Yes, the F2 does supply plug-in power for condenser microphones. Just be aware that the input on the F2 uses a 3.5mm TRS locking connector like the one used on the Sennheiser ME 2-II Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (B&H #SEME2II).

Q: 4. Can you use this with a wireless mic system?

A: Yes, you can use a wireless mic system instead of the lavalier mic. Just be sure to use a cable that has a locking 3.5mm TRS connector for the input on the F2-BT. if your wireless receiver output cable has a standard non-locking 3.5mm TRS, you can use a female to female coupler adapter like the Hosa Technology GMM303 3.5mm Female Stereo Mini to 3.5mm Female Stereo Mini Adapter (B&H # HOASMFSMF) to connect your receiver's output cable with a second cable such as the Sennheiser CL1 3.5mm to 3.5mm Output Cable (B&H # SECL1) which has a standard non-locking 3.5mm TRS male connector on one side and locking 3.5mm TRS male end on the other side to go to the F2-BT's locking input.

Q: 5. How long can it record with a 64gb Card?

A: You can record approximately 46 hours, 17 minutes of recording time with a 64GB card and using the F2.

Q: 6. Can you monitor audio while recording? It seems comparable devices cannot due to US Patent Law.

A: Yes, you can monitor audio while recording using the F2-BT's output jack which functions as a headphone or line level output with volume control.

Q: 7. How long can it record 32bit float using a 32gb card?

A: The F2 will allow you to record approximately 23 hours and 8 minutes of 32-bit float audio at 48 kHz in WAV format onto a 32GB microSDHC memory card.

Q: 8. Can you only sync timecode over Bluetooth with the UltraSync BLUE, or can you use a more traditional timecode generator like the tentacle sync?

A: Yes, the F2-BT syncs timecode over Bluetooth, but you do need to pair it with the UltraSync BLUE by Timecode Systems (available separately) in order to receive and write timecode to recorded files, The UltraSync Blue can be used as the master timecode generator to sync with other devices.

Q: 9. The Tascam DR10L has a time track incrementing function that can create new files at regular intervals (every 15 minutes) during recording. Does the ZOOM F2 Fieldrecorder supports this feature as well?

A: This recorder will only put markers each time a new recording is made.

Q: 10. 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.
