This Whirlwind Medusa Multitrack Series 8 Channel 1/4" TRS Male to XLR Male Fanout Snake Cable is constructed of multipair cable with a heat-shrunk fanout at each end. The cabling consists of heavy duty, flexible Belden CM rated multipair cable. Each pair contains two twisted 24GA 7x32 polyethylene insulated conductors with 100% foil shield and 24GA drain wire. The fanouts feature genuine Whirlwind 1/4" TRS and XLR connectors, and all channels are numbered.

Snake cables can be used to interface multitrack recorders or outboard equipment to mixing consoles, or to combine several balanced (microphone) cables into one smaller diameter multipair cable. Snake cables make setup and teardown much faster and easier, with less tangling and clutter than would otherwise be the case.

Fanouts with multiple layers of rugged heat shrink at the most critical points.

Fanouts feature Whirlwind connectors with engraved numbers.

Made in U.S.A.

Q: 3. can you do Time of Day for timecode?

A: No. The F6 can input and output SMPTE timecode.

Q: 4. Can this product be used as computer interface (like the MixPre-3)?

A: The Zoom F6 can be used as a 6-in/4-out USB 2.0 audio interface at up to 24-bit / 96 kHz. Also, it is possible to operate the Zoom F6 as an audio interface while recording to an SD card.

Q: 5. Can I plug this recorder into my camera's 3.5 mic input to record audio so I can bypass camera's preamps?

A: You can use a line-to-mic attenuator cable to connect the 3.5mm line out from the Zoom F6 Multitrack Field Recorder to a 3.5mm mic input on a camera. This would not necessarily bypass the camera's preamps, but it would allow you to use XLR microphones with the preamps on the F6. The F6 will still record higher quality audio than the camera. As options for an attenuating cable, you can use the Kopul ACH4-25MON Line-to-Mic Attenuator Cable (B&H # KOACH425MON) which has a built-in headphone tap, the Sescom LN2MIC-ZOOMH4N Line to Microphone Attenuation Cable for HDSLR Cameras (B&H # SEL2MZH4N), or if you need a long cable, the Sescom LN2MIC-ZMH4N-6 Line to Microphone Attenuation Cable for HDSLR Cameras (B&H # SEL2MZH4N6) is 6-feet long.

Q: 6. Looking for a cable plug the output on the Tascam into a cell phone (Pixel 3a) headphone/mic combo jack? I want to send the audio mix from the Tascam to my phone for live streaming audio.

A: Since you are sending a line level signal from the Tascam to a mic input on the phone, you can use a 3.5mm TRS to 3.5mm TRS level matching cable along with a 3.5mm TRS to 3.5mm TRRS smartphone adapter for compatibility with your phone's mic input. For the level matching cable, you may like the Sescom LN2MIC-ZMH4N-6 - Line to Microphone Attenuation Cable for HDSLR Cameras (B&H # SEL2MZH4N6) which is 6-feet long or the shorter Whirlwind WHH4NL3.5 Line-to-Microphone Attenuator Cable for HDSLR Cameras (B&H # WHH4NL3.5) which is 1-foot long. We also have the same type of level matching cable with an included headphone tap to monitor the audio, such as the Kopul ACH4-25MON Line-to-Mic Attenuator Cable (B&H # KOACH425MON) which is 1-foot long. For the TRS to TRRS smartphone adapter, you can use the Rode SC4 3.5mm TRS Female to 3.5mm Right-Angle TRRS Male Adapter Cable for Smartphones (B&H # ROSC4) or Saramonic SR-UC201 3.5mm TRS Female to 3.5mm TRRS Male Adapter Cable for Smartphones (B&H # SASRUC201).

Q: 7. Can TimeCode be Synced from Sony's Burano Camera via BlueTooth/ Sony's Cellphone App?

A: The Zoom F6 6-Input / 14-Track Multitrack Field Recorder does not support third-party timecode apps.

Q: 8. By not qualifying specs such as stating distortion without the specified Hz used in the test Tascam raises suspicions to the validity of the test. Can Tascam reply with some qualifiers?

A: Nothing nefarious to see here.Word from our engineering department is that according to the JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association) standard, if the measurement frequency used was 1kHz when publishing a distortion spec, there is no need to specify it as that is the industry standard frequency one would use in establishing a distortion specification. Thank you for your interest in TASCAM products.

Q: 9. Is it possible for me to purchase the top mounting bracket that mounts this unit to the bottom of the camera?

A: Replacement parts for the TASCAM DR-60DmkII 4-Input / 4-Track Multitrack Field Recorder are not available from B&H.

Q: 10. Which rechargeable battery pack do you recommend with this?

A: Your best bet is an external cell phone battery pack. The batteries Duracell or rechargeable only last about 39 min of continuous operation. The external last for days continuous. I have a 10000 mah.I bought for 22 dollars and it last for days at continuous operation.
