Ah interesting. Well keep us posted.

I’ve only done a small amount of testing at this stage and I plan to do more
but at the moment both H6 and F8N with the X-Y capsule sound about the same
which is surprising given the F8N has far more gain so I thus thought there may
be more noise.

Cool dude. Did you note any quality difference? Do you get more clarity and
what not?

The capsule is very sensitive on the F8N so adjustment has to be critical it
seems but that’s easily done without a problem.
For a standard recording - say voice - one would turn the mic level up 3
quarters of the way but with the F8N halfway will be more than sufficient.

Ah cool. How do the mics sound on the F8N? Do they sound any better then they
do on the H6? Like does 1 get more out of them?

The X/Y capsule as I wanted to try and see how the line-in worked.
I need some TRS leads made up next.

Cool dude. So which of the H6's snap off mics did you try it with? I think you
may have said the XY 1 but can't recall.

Thanks for this and I did find it in the manual.
The manual refers to the microphone as being a convenient function for
recording such things as track titles, voice memos and so on, no argument there.
So one can record from the Slate Microphone and perform various other tasks.
The manual does give direction in diagram form so that’s something else I’ll have to
add to the Zoom F8N “Work Out List” <smile>.
I can certainly monitor the microphone which in itself is dead useful.

Don't quite know how that slate mike that's built in works but that's what it
is. It's a slate mike so you can keep in touch with the dirrector. Remember now
this is totally into movie making stuff now. Apparently even more so than the
H6.

I finally managed to get the Zoom F8N recorder going this morning and the
process was easy enough though you will certainly need sighted assistance to
start the ball rolling
The first thing that needs to be done when you turn the F8N on is to set the
date and the time, there seems to be no way of skipping this step but given
time and date stamping is just so useful then why not spend the extra seconds
it takes to complete this task.
Next you will need at least 1 SD card to be inserted into one of the 2 SD card
slots on the left-hand side of the recorder.
The SD cards are immediately identifiable by the magnetic doors that allow easy
access to each slot, the front slot with the front of the recorder facing you
is SD 1.
You then need your sighted assistance to go through the menu system to SD Card
and from there select Format. You then select the SD card you wish to format -
SD Card 1 or 2 - and move to “Yes”, pressing the jog-dial in to start the
formatting process which takes a couple of seconds.
So now you’re ready to record and you can monitor the microphones using the
headphones socket which is on the right-hand side of the recorder and
identified by the hexagonal nut at the base of the quarter inch headphone
output jack.
The Headphone output has its own dedicated analogue control which is easily
found on the control panel below the jog-dial and menu button.
The menu system is a ripper to use because the menu system doesn’t appear to
wrap anywhere thus if you keep turning the jog-dial to the left in the main
menu then you’re going to stay on the folder option which is the first option
in the main menu so all I have to do now is to go through the menu system at
some stage when we have more time.
I recorded some voice with the Zoom H6 X/Y capsule plugged into the rear of the
F8n without any difficult.
There is a built-in microphone on the F8N which I wasn’t aware of.
It appears you can’t record from this so the idea must be for monitoring
purposes.
The F8N delivers distinct tones to indicate that functions have worked when you
press a key or an error has happened, I’ve not heard the battery alert tones as
yet.
The volume for these alert tones can be adjusted to suit your taste.
