Re: [all-audio] URL for Zoom please
Thanks for capturing this. The only differences I can see between the F8 and F8N are the way the AA batteries are installed and the voltage of the connector. With the F8n the input voltage can be up to 18 volts. As far as the batteries go the F8N takes the same amount of AA batteries - 8 but they directly fit into the recorder rather than slide in and out on a tray. -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io On Behalf Of Andy via Groups.Io Sent: Wednesday, 20 February 2019 4:50 AM To: all-audio@groups.io Subject: Re: [all-audio] URL for Zoom please Hi Dane.

Re: [all-audio] URL for Zoom please
So I take it you now have your Zoom F8N in some sort of working and recording order, how do you find it? I can’t put my F8N down. The F8N is the most wonderful recorder I’ve ever used though I still have fond memories of the H6 and I don’t forget we all started somewhere before upgrading . I’m trying to find some external power banks I can use with the Zoom F8N. I also bought some Lythium batteries fro the recorder a couple of weeks ago. Lythium batteries have a long shelf life and are much lighter than alkaline batteries whilst giving more power. To be clear here I’m talking about Lythium batteries and not Lythium-iron batteries.

Re: [all-audio] URL for Zoom please
Hmm.. I don’t know whether mine is a sound bag, I looked on eBay and found a Carry Case from the Zoom F8N. The case is a little difficult to describe but I’ll do my best. At one end is a transparent piece which you lift off to insert the recorder on one side whilst on the other you can insert say the AC mains adapter etc. On the sides of the case are expandable pockets for extras such as microphones, leads etc. All of this is held together with velcro clasps which can be moved and rearranged depending on the contents in the case. At the other end is a zippered panel that gives you access to everything. > On 18 Feb 2019, at 5:06 am, Andy via Groups.Io > wrote: > > Hi Dane. > > Thanks for that link.
