Zoom F4 Unboxing and Initial Test

In this video I will be unboxing the Zoom F4 and setting it up and doing an initial test on it. I've currently been using a Zoom H4n Pro for my videos and connecting external handheld dynamic microphones such as the Electro-Voice ND76 and Shure Beta 58A. I like the H4n Pro but it has it's cons and I'm in need of a much more professional unit. The F4 is a major step up, giving me 4 XLR mic, and TRS line inputs, and a stereo 3.5mm line-level input that bypasses the pre-amps. It also allows for expansion of Zoom modules such as the EXH-6 to add two additional XLR inputs. The F4's preamps are greatly improved over the H4n Pro and in a completely different league compared. -127dB EIN vs -120dB EIN, 75dB preamp gain vs 43dB, 6 inputs vs 2, dual SD card slots and support for SDXC cards up 512GB vs 32GB SDHC, couple second boot time vs nearly a minute, timecode support, professional power options, made out of aluminum vs plastic, the list can go on.. This recorder is made for professional field recording work such as indie films and broadcast. In the video I will show the unit being unboxed, firmware updated, some initial settings to change and settings to save battery power, and test the unit using my Neumann KMS105. I will also test the 3.5mm 5/6 line input by placing a call with my friend and also hook up a portable AM/FM radio. *Follow Ups* The 3.5mm line-level 5/6 input does completely by-pass the preamps, confirmed by Zoom. AWESOME. Great for archiving/ripping tapes, vinyl, recording tuners, hooking up phones, external mixer boards, etc. The EXH-6 does have it's own internal pre-amp and does not use the F4's preamp circuitry. The preamp in the EXH-6 is the same as the H6, -120dB EIN, 55.5dB gain. Confirmed by Zoom. The clock (RTC) keeps it's time after you remove power from the F4 by using an internal battery that is charged by Hirose power. The battery is not user replaceable like a CMOS battery on a motherboard. Zoom would not disclose what ADC and DAC chips are being used, they say they are "proprietary". They are most likely the same as the F8. The F8 uses AKM AK5388AEQ for ADC and AK4359AVF for DAC. There is also another ADC chip, AKM AK5359ET that is most likely used for the 5/6 zoom modules.
