In the specifications of the Rode VXLR Pro adapter, I read that the plug-in power supply is 4 Volts when the phantom power supply is 24 Volts and 48 Volts. It turns out that the Rode VXLR PRO adapter, connected to the Zoom F3 audio recorder, converts a phantom power supply of 12-48 Volts to a voltage of 4 Volts and transmits it to the Rode Lavalier Go lavalier microphone. Does this mean that in such cases it will not matter whether I set up a phantom power supply of 24 Volts or 48 Volts in the settings of the Zoom F3 audio recorder? After all, the adapter will still convert to 4 Volts, which is necessary for a lapel microphone? Most importantly, will the adapter prevent the Rode Lavalier Go Lavalier microphone from breaking (burning) due to high voltage? One point is unclear to me. They write that first you need to attach a lapel microphone to the Zoom F3 audio recorder, and then install 48 Volt phantom power in the Zoom F3 settings. Otherwise, the lavalier microphone will burn out. And doesn't the Rode VXLR Pro adapter convert 48 Volts to 4 Volts, despite the fact that before or after connecting the lapel microphone, I installed phantom power in the Zoom F3 audio recorder?
When you have 2 XLR inputs connected (and working fine when using the f3 to record) And you use the lineout to your camera, does each lineout channel represent 1 of the XLR inputs? E.g. 1x shotgun, 1x wireless system. The stereo lineout is 1 channel shotgun, 1 channel wireless? thanks!
Thank you for this video. Question about the zoom f3. I want to use it as a dslr camera interface. Running my mic into the f3 then use the 3mm jack output directly into my camera to record both video and audio together. Does this allow me 32bit float with the line out 3mm jack to camera? If so, how do I set it as I don't see anything about this anywhere online. I only see volume line level adjustments. In other worlds, can I still get 32 bit float directly into my camera? Thank you
32 bit float isn't as simple as I thought it would be. You do apparently have to hit record. Oops. The meters working while not recording is a little misleading. That said, this is certainly a great piece of hardware, particularly for solo shoots. And the price can not be beat.
I had an H4N pro and basically gave it away because of that. And the menu system. This guy is much different. Super simple to use and the sound is fantastic. Might need a pass through Clarity or izotope but pretty much any audio needs some post work.
I initially had a Zoom F1 and couldn't get the gain level I required due to the amount of self noise the unit produced so I get where you are coming from and hear your frustration. A friend lent me his Zoom H6 and it was way better on signal to noise ratio from the pre's so I purchased one. Later I purchased the F3 and there is no audible hiss. You will be amazed if you haven't experienced it. However a new can of worms is opened in that you now need to look into how much self noise does your microphone generate. And on it goes. However, I highly recommend the F3.

Have looked for a video that covers the f3 with an NTG 4 this video is excellent - a brilliant and easy to understand presenter, class video
could you listen to one track on it while recording another? thanks

Been using my old H4N like this.
The 32 Bit float is saved on your SD card.
Thanks for the review. It was very helpful.
Your S sounds really sharp -- is this the mic you're using or is it just you?

I wonder if the 192khz will allow it to record bats
I guess they squeak at 90-200k. Not sure if many mics operate over 20k. Maybe they all do(??).
useful content.
zoom preamps are rubbish, too much hiss.
You either have a defective unit, don't know how to use it, or you're using a cheaper zoom product.
