Zoom F1-LP

The Zoom F1-LP is a compact field recorder paired with the LMF-1 lavalier microphone, designed to capture high-quality audio in various settings. Its low-profile design allows for easy attachment to belts, waistbands, or pockets, making it ideal for interviews, weddings, and on-location shoots. By recording directly to a microSD card, it eliminates interference often associated with wireless systems, ensuring clear and reliable audio.

The F1-LP supports high-resolution audio recording up to 24-bit/96 kHz, providing professional-grade sound. Its user-friendly interface features one-touch controls and a monochromatic LCD display for easy operation, even in bright conditions.
