If you're blind and need to record dependable audio when you're out and about, the Zoom F6 multi-track field recorder is worthy of your serious consideration.

When you can't see the pretty level meters on these recorders, ensuring you're recording at the correct level can be a challenge. The 32-bit float recording feature of the Zoom F6 takes care of that, allowing you to eliminate clipping or hiss caused by bad levels.

Equally as exciting is that with an optional accessory, the Zoom F6 works with an iOS app that is fairly accessible, offering a range of control and configuration options.

In this episode, Gary ODonoghue takes us on a tour of the Zoom F6 and its features, shows us the iOS app, and gives us practical demonstrations of the benefits offered by 32-bit float recording.

Kia ora Mosen at largers. We trust you're keeping safe and well, both physically and mentally. At this time where we all need connection, it's a bumper podcast episode for you this week, full of listener contributions.
