Focus on the Scene
When you're working in the field or on set, sound levels can fluctuate often and quickly. The F3 allows you to adapt to your scene without having to set the gain or worry about clipping. In post, you'll be able to work with your capture, regardless of extremely low or high levels.
Watson Wu: "When I'm on film sets, I'm often recording really loud sounds like race cars and weaponry. That's why I love the 32-bit float technology. I can fit this small device virtually anywhere and I don't have to worry about my levels being off."
Award-Winning Audio.
Featuring the dual A/D converters and low-noise preamps found in our professional F-Series recorders, the F3 guarantees high-quality recordings in any setting or situation.
Battle Tested
The F3 is built with durable side bars, standard tripod mount and slide-resistant rubber feet ensuring that you can mount it on your gear or hide it in any scene. It's sturdy metal casing and locking XLR connectors is designed for use in a variety of environments.
Mark Lanza: "The F3's size makes it so versatile. I can place it right into a chaotic scene - I can mount it on a standard boom, place it inside a potted plant, or even strap it to the side of a speeding motorcycle."
Wav Watching
Monitor your recordings with seamless accuracy as the F3 displays your audio as real-time waveforms.
