SLEEK MICROPHONE — You can attach the lavalier mic to your subject using the microphone clip that comes with it. Connect the 3.5mm plug to the input of the F2 and then lock it in to prevent accidentally unplugging it. An omnidirectional polar pattern gives a consistent audio pickup that comes from all directions.

DISTORTION-FREE AUDIO — 32-bit float recording technology gets big noise and doesn't overload the A/D converters, and you still don't have to adjust the gain. Connect the mic and go.

EXCELLENT QUALITY — You can record in 32-bit/44.1 kHz or 32-bit/48 kHz, and both are in mono uncompressed Broadcast Wave File format. Without compression, the quality is preserved. You can also use the onboard 80 Hz low-cut filter that reduces rumble and bass buildup in the recordings.

Compact, handheld microcassette recorder

Playback option is 20 percent faster than real time

Built-in microphone is discreet

Record clear, crisp dialog in a hurry for your next video shoot, interview, or vlog with the Zoom F1-LP, a 2-track portable field recorder with an onboard limiter and auto-level control providing distortion-free 24-bit audio, and a clip-on lavalier microphone for easy setup. Whereas other F-Series recorders such as the F4, F6, and F8n are centered around a sound bag–ready form factor, the F1-LP is tailored for belt-mount and pocket-friendly placement.

Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone: Attach the included lavalier microphone to your subject with the supplied mic clip, then connect its 3.5mm plug–equipped cable to the input of the F1-LP; the locking connection inhibits unintended disconnects. The microphone's omnidirectional polar pattern delivers consistent audio pickup from all directions, yielding dependable voice capture even as the subject turns their head or the microphone changes position.

Onboard Limiter and Auto-Level Prevent Clipping: The F1-LP utilizes an onboard limiter and automatic level control to provide protection against overloading the A/D converters. Record with confidence knowing that sudden volume spikes won't distort or clip your files.
