F6 : Very versatile instruments

5 years ago

We use this soundcard primarily for our acoustic testing projects. We can easily carry this to the field as opposed to my other bulky soundcards and laptop etc. The 32-bit floating is a huge blessing which my other sound-cards can do. We test rooms with balloon pops as a backup measurement along with our other more elaborate measurements. While with my other soundcards I have to adjust the gain every single time, with the Zoom F6 I don't have to, since the 32bit ADC has a higher range of measurements and the audio will not clip!

Moreover increasing the gain later on while processing the audio does not induce a lot of noise thanks to the extremely low self noise.

Pros - Very low noise, 32 bit ADC's, Hit record and not worry about anything else!

Cons - USB interface with PC is quite underwhelming. UI is a bit confusing.
