Enhancements on the Pro Model

Extending the legacy of the F8n, the F8n Pro adds dual analog-to-digital converters and 32-bit float recording, enabling pristine audio recording without gain adjustment and without clipping.

  • Separate A/D converters for low and high gain allow the F8n Pro to achieve equally impressive SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) performance for quiet and loud sounds.
  • The 32-bit float WAV format can maintain the resolution at the time of recording, and even if normalization processing is performed after recording, the original sound is reproduced without deterioration.
  • It can also be used as an 8-input / 4-output USB audio interface that supports 32-bit float resolution.

Studio-Quality Performance Pro’s

With its eight locking Neutrik XLR-1/4″ combo inputs, the F8n Pro can handle a wide range of condenser microphones and balanced line-level outputs. Eight studio-caliber microphone preamps with extreme low noise (-127 dBu EIN) and high gain (up to 75 dB) guarantee that your sound sources will be enhanced with accurate tonality. Furthermore, the sophisticated look-ahead limiters on the F8n Pro foresee clipping before it’s recorded.
