Ah yes I forgot that. Yes the higher the quality, the more memory you'll
need. Especially if you're also planning to go multi channal.

I can’t argue with the statements below.
I actually have my F8N and other recorders set to 96K 24-bit but in the end its
up to the individual how they want things done.
One has to remember too that with higher bit rates then the bigger SD memory
card you’ll require.
So what given the Zoom F8N can take 2 512GB memory cards? Well the so what
comes to quite a bit of money to lay out if you wish to proceed down that path.

h that's 1 of the things I've been putting to the test with my H6. That whole
the human ear can't hear super HD 96 KHZ or 192 KHZ 24 bits audio thing. Now if
you think of it as a frequency responce thing that should be true. Hell not
only can't you hear it, most condencers can't. But it's not necessarily a
frequency thing. Another ingenier on Scott Wilkinson's Home Theater Geeks show
explained it this way. Andy you were right. It's a resolution thig. It's like
being able to take 192 pictures per second. He compaired it to the rappid fire
camera shutter clicking you hear at presidentual things or what not. The 24
bits gives you more open dinamic range. Things don't over load and destort as
easy I suppose and you can get louder and quieter in 24 bits. Again someone
help out here if you wish I'm no real audio expert like Neal or this man that
helped you out Andy. But I'm just telling ya what I have heard other experts
say. I say again if I had an F8N best believe it bro 192 KHZ 24 bits is the
first thing that gets set on it. Oh and on your clip on mics. If they use the
little head phone like plug they won't use phantum. They use what's called plug
in power. So you'll need the Zoom XYH6 peace or even the XY H5 peace. Then
connect them to that.

Hi Dane and list.
Further to my last message a few weeks ago when I advised that I had secured
the assistance of my local bar maid to describe the layout and functions of my
Zoom F8N, and that I had also secured assistance in setting my device up by the
Radio Operations Manager at BBC Radio Scotlands flagship at Pacific Quay.
Well guys all went very well indeed.
I recorded the bar maid on my old Olympus DS50, so I can return to that as
often as I need. The BBC engineer's visit was slightly later than planned and
I simply forgot all about making a recording! Shame that.
Anyway Dane. You were right, the functionality is laid out very simply and
very tactilly and like you said, it's going to be a piece of cake.
Although I was wanting him to set up 24 bit WAV at 192, he recomended against
this and droped to the standard of 40 or 48. He stated that the human ear
really could not tell the difference. I just wanted it because it was there.
After he asked me of the kind of recording I did, he recommented that tracks 1
through 4 should be on microphone and tracks 5 through 8 Line in.
Anyway I couldn't argue with a sound engineer of our capital radio station,
haha.
Anyway it's all done now and I intend to use my old X Y and Side angle
microphones to plug directly into the device for desk-top or table-top
recordings.
But it's a Field Recorder so I want to get out and about in the streets and
record things, so the clip-on microphones will be of little use as the device
will be in a sound bag.
So I'm looking for a good microphone that I can attach to my jacket.
I would love to use my BSM Binaural microphones for this but I don't know
exactly how to do this. Obviously I'd need an adaptor to take the small plug
up to quarter of an inch. But would I need Phantom power turned on, on that
channel?
One thing is for sure I cannot walk through the streets of Glasgow with a guide
dog on my left, a sound bag hanging from my right and me holding a microphone
out in front of me. This is why I like the BSm 9 Clip on microphones.
Any advice regarding how best to use my BSM binaural microphones out of doors
or an alternative type of body microphone that anyone can recommend would be
very helpful.
Very best wishes.
Andy.

I’m not laughing and I’m very lucky I guess in that I’m curious and I get some
sighted assistance every now and then to give me a hand.
Firstly the Zoom F8N stands on 4 rubber feet which are placed on the bottom of
the recorder so you know where the bottom is by the feel of the rubber feet.
The top is easily identified by 4 slotted screws that hold the recorder into
the rack mount.
There is a handle on each side of the recorder so when the recorder is standing
on its rubber feet these each handle will be protruding from either side of the
recorder.
The display of the recorder therefor is on the front left with the control
panel taking up the rest of the area on the front panel.
On the left hand side you have tracks 1 through 4 as XLR/TRS inputs along with
the 2 SD Card slots and the multi function USB port.
On the right hand side you have tracks 5 through 8 XLR/TRS inputs along with
the external power supply socket mini XLR out sockets, a sub output socket and
the headphones socket.
On the back from left to right there is the Zoom Capsule connector which has a
cover over it, 2 sockets which are for Time syncing with a video camera and so
on and the 9 volts DC power socket for the supplied AC adapter.
At the bottom on the recorder at the back in the centre is the screw to you
losen to remove the battery compartment door so you will have to turn the
recorder upside down to insert batteries.

Hi Dane and list.
Regarding my Zoom F8n, I managed to secure the assistance from the BBC Radio
Scotland's, radio Operations Manager today by phone and I'm delighted that he
is willing to set up my Zoom F8n for me.
This is fantastic because I don't know anyone up here in the wilderness of
Scotland who could help me out.
So I'm meeting him a his work in 2 weeks time and although the setting up
should be simple for him, I'm still very unsure of the device I've purchased.
I'm hoping to get my local bar maid to describe the recorder and it's buttons
and also the Zoom bag that I also purchased and of course I've also got
Youtube.
But I really got to ask Dane this silly question.
I've unboxed my Zoom and it looks as though it stands on it's left side
vertically, however the rather large and clumsy Zoom F8n bag I purchased will
only take the device laying on it's back.
So how would anyone see the display on the right edge if it's in a bag?
Dane, I'm sure will be having a good old laugh at me, as I've had the device
for about 3 months now.
So please dane, be gentle with me, hahaha!
Very best wishes.
Andy.
