Zaxcom ZFR300NC

The Zaxcom ZFR300NC is a compact, high-performance bodypack audio recorder that offers a seamless blend of on-location versatility and studio-grade quality. Designed to match the size and form of the Zaxcom TRXLA3 transmitter, the ZFR300NC works with standard wired lavalier microphones, making it an excellent choice for ISO track recording when wireless transmission isn't feasible or reliable. It's ideal for productions requiring multiple isolated recordings without the range limitations and interference risks associated with traditional RF systems.

Equipped with Zaxcom's NeverClip technology, the ZFR300NC captures audio with a dynamic range of up to 104 dB and delivers pristine 24-bit/48 kHz recordings directly onto a microSD card. On startup, it jams timecode via ZaxNet and transmits QC audio and timecode within seconds. Its built-in ZaxNet IFB receiver supports timecode syncing and remote control, making it a powerful timecode master. The recorder also supports wireless re-jamming to maintain sub-frame sync accuracy, and its recorded files are ready for immediate integration into post-production workflows, ensuring time-aligned, high-quality audio tracks. Whether used solo or in a large multi-recorder setup, the ZFR300NC offers unmatched reliability and sound fidelity in a lightweight, rugged design.
