Zoom F-Control Mixing Control Surface for the Zoom F8 and F4

If you use an F8 or F4 Multitrack Field Recorder, the Zoom F-Control mixing control surface provides the control and flexibility you need for on-location recording. Take command with nine 60mm faders and a full set of transport controls. Enjoy tactile control over trim, pan, and track arming and effortlessly monitor your levels with easy-to-read 12-segment LED meters. Track Scene edit buttons for metadata entry make organizing your recordings a piece of cake. You can also connect an external computer keyboard for fast entry of information. Streamline your workflow with three user-programmable buttons and a dedicated time code button. When combined with your F8 or F4, the Zoom F-Control creates a top-shelf mobile recording rig.

Connect the F-Control to your Multitrack Field Recorder, and enjoy complete mastery over your recording experience. Nine smooth 60mm faders make adjusting the levels of your individual tracks a breeze. Increase the productivity of your recording and editing sessions with tactile control over transport functions. Take hands-on authority over trim, pan, and track arming with an array of simple controls. Track Scene edit buttons make entering metadata such as "Track Name," "Scene Increment," "Scene Name," "Notes," and "False Take" a breeze. Three user-programmable buttons and a time code button round out the F-Control's controls.

When we test drove the F-Control here at AudioBuy, it was obvious that it's purpose-built for field recording. It connects to your F8 or F4 with a single USB cable, for a streamlined rig that's ready to record in seconds. Connect your Multitrack Field Recorder's headphone output to the F-Control's headphone input, and you're ready to monitor your audio through the F-Control's headphone jack. You can also connect an external computer keyboard to make entering metadata fast and painless - an essential when you're on location. Powering the F-Control is easy and convenient. Four AA batteries provide enough power for up to 10 hours of operation, or you can power it with a 4-pin Hirose connector and external battery pack. And if you're using an F4, you can even power the F-Control via USB bus power.
