Zoom F Control Fader Panel - discontinued
The Zoom F-Control was a mixing control surface for more control and flexibility when recording in the field. It works with the Zoom F8n and F4 audio recorders to create a complete and professional location recording system.
It connects to the F4, F8 or F8n via USB making recording and mixing easy with nine 60 mm faders (eight + Master) plus controls for trim, pan, and track arming. Monitoring channel and output levels is simple with 12-segment LED meters, three user-programmable buttons, and a dedicated time code button. A second USB port lets you connect an external keyboard so you can quickly enter metadata such as Track Name, Scene Increment, Scene Name, Notes, and False Take.
A 1/4"stereo cable connects the F8 or F4 headphone out to the F-Control's headphone in, so you can monitor audio via the F-Control's headphone jack.
Power Options
There are three power options: four AA batteries (for up to 9 hours of operation) external 12 volt supply via a 4-pin Hirose connector or via USB when using the F4 or F8n (not available with the F8)
