Digital Recorders

I recently got a Zoom F8n Pro recorder and noticed when using phantom-powered mics the level jumps with a loud audible thump on headphones. Is this normal?

Once again, Zoom raise the bar for high‑quality, 32-bit affordable handheld recorders.

We get hands‑on with Zoom’s new dedicated podcast recorder.

Don’t be deceived by the F3’s diminutive form — there’s a seriously useful recording device lurking in this box!

Chiara Luzzana is a Sound Designer and Composer, known for her use of Zoom field recorders.

With 32‑bit recording, six inputs and a stereo mix facility, as well as impressive battery life, this versatile compact recorder should have wide appeal.

Zoom’s modular approach makes this unique portable recorder far more versatile than others.

Could this be the perfect portable package for podcasters and musicians alike?

The LiveTrak L‑12 ticked a lot of boxes for a lot of people. Could the L‑20 tick the rest?

Zoom’s original F8 impressed us enormously — and now they’ve made it even better!

Zoom reimagine the stand-alone multitracker for the DAW generation.

Once in a while, a high-quality, affordable product comes along that makes the professional competition look overpriced...

Zoom’s H4 has been hugely popular, and with the H5 it seems its few shortcomings have been ironed out.

With its impressive track count and interchangeable input modules, Zoom's H6 is one of the most flexible handheld recorders available.

Zoom have created another portable recorder that’s overflowing with features and functionality. Can it be all things to all people?

Zoom’s latest recorder ups the ante on the features front — even including M/S recording — but remains very affordable.

Zoom have launched a sibling for their R16, adding a further eight tracks and some neat loop-sampling and rhythm-track features.

Have computers made digital multitrackers obsolete? Zoom dont think so.

The H4 remains one of the most flexible of the current crop of portable 24-bit recorders, but Zoom have found plenty of room for improvement — and, more importantly, theyve used it.

Zoom have overhauled the design of the MRS1608 to create a new-look digital recorder. We find out if the changes are more than skin deep.

We've seen affordable field recorders from Edirol and M-Audio. How does Zoom's H4 compare?
