Q: 2. Can the f2-bt be timecode jammed with devices other than timecode systems blue. What other Bluetooth devices can be used?

A: You will need to use a Bluetooth timecode generator in order to sync timecode with Bluetooth adapter fitted in the Zoom F2-BT Ultracompact Bluetooth-Enabled Portable Field Recorder. The Atomos UltraSync BLUE Wireless Timecode Sync (B&H # ATOMSYBL01US) is the model that is currently recommended by Zoom.

Q: 3. What is the typical latency of the unit when outputting to an external source such as a projector?

A: As a Production Switcher the output should be real time. If there is any latency it should be undetectable.

Q: 4. Can I tranfer the audio to my Iphone? How could I do it?

Q: 5. To monitor Audio or shirt scruff, Can I use the App, or could I connect the F2 to a G2 wireless pack and use that?

A: The smartphone app can be used for remote control functions such as record start/stop, low-cut filtering, output volume, and battery display, but does not provide a way to listen to the audio. The headphone jack on the F2 provides a 3.5mm output to listen and monitor the audio while recording.

Q: 6. will it fit onto the top of a macbook air?

A: Yes, it fits well, although it can take a little bit of balancing the screen so the mic's weight doesn't drag it back. But I just did an interview with my Air at a remote location the other day and it all worked fine.

Q: 7. Can we Jam Timecode into the F2 via the mic input?

A: No, the Zoom F2-BT Portable Field Recorder can be synced to external Timecode, but only via Bluetooth. The Atomos UltraSync BLUE Wireless Timecode Sync (B&H # ATOMSYBL01US) is the Timecode device that is recommended by Zoom for use with the F2-BT Recorder.

Q: 8. Can I connect the recorder to the camera and record to it directly? And is there a headphone port to listen to and check the sound?

A: The F2-BT has a locking 3.5mm stereo output jack with dedicated volume up/down buttons which can be used to connect to a camera, secondary recorder, or used with headphones for monitoring the audio. Keep in mind that the output signal from the recorder is line level and the output connector is a locking type, so a few adapters are required to create a setup with the connections and options you will need to connect the recorder to a camera and also allow you to monitor the audio. If you want to connect the F2-BT to the mic input on a DSLR, you will need to use a level matching cable as well as a cable with a locking 3.5mm connector. You can make this work by using a Senal Right-Angle Locking 1/8" Mini to Right-Angle 1/8" Mini Output Cable (B&H # SEAWSCBLMINI) combined with a Kopul ACH4-25MON Line-to-Mic Attenuator Cable (B&H # KOACH425MON) which also provides a headphone tap. Connect the Senal and Kopul cables using a female coupler such as the Hosa Technology GMM303 3.5mm Female Stereo Mini to 3.5mm Female Stereo Mini Adapter (B&H # HOASMFSMF). These adapters will allow you to record with the F2-BT and also send the audio to your camera, as well as provide a headphone jack so you can monitor the sound while recording.

Q: 9. I'm in university and I want to get a mic to attach to my laptop to record class lectures discreetly. There will be some room noise. Is this a good mic for my purpose?

A: I am handicapped with multiple sclerosis and cannot use a keyboard. I use the Samson Go Mic along with Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice recognition and the mic works wonderfully. I just recorded my voice 20 feet from my microphone at a moderate volume and the microphone picked up my voice at a level you would be happy with.I would definitely recommend this microphone.

Q: 10. I understand that you can't monitor the audio levels via the app but can you receive error messages like 'card full' via bluetooth?

A: The Zoom F2-BT Ultracompact Bluetooth-Enabled Portable Field Recorder with Lavalier Microphone BH #ZOF2BT does not allow monitoring over bluetooth. It is only as a remote for functionality. The smartphone app can be used for remote control functions such as record start/stop, low-cut filtering, output volume, and battery display, but does not provide a way to listen to the audio. The headphone jack on the F2 provides a 3.5mm output to listen and monitor the audio while recording.

[90 Hz to 20 kHz] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely amazing for listening on the go! And anyplace you can think of It sounds just as good as the charge 5 but in a smaller package really am enjoying enjoying it, especially after the software update on the JBL portable app definitely a must have for your portable 5

[90 Hz to 20 kHz] I bought this item about a month ago and we are loving it. 5

[90 Hz to 20 kHz] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The speaker itself is incredibly compact (see pictures). At less than 4 inches wide and about 1.5 inches thick, it's a great companion to have wherever you go. It stood out the most while golfing. I bought a small carabiner clip to attach the speaker to my golf bag and I can't describe how perfect it was: out of the way, terrific and clear sound with deep bass and plenty of volume. The speaker easily lasted the entire round and most of the way into a round the next day. Also, I found this speaker to be extremely nice to bring hiking, working in the garage, and cleaning up around the house. I was very pleasantly surprised to hear the quality of the sound (even at high volumes) in an array of spaces and the speaker had plenty of power to keep going. Anyone looking for anything from a small desk speaker to a tag along for adventures, this speaker is the right one. 5

[1x 4.2 W] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a few portable speakers and I have to that the JBL GO is my hands down favorite. The sound quality for such a small speaker is impressive and it lasts for between 6-8 hours per charge for me. When the weather was a little chillier I would hike with it in the pouch of my hoodie and now that it’s warmer it fits in the cell phone pocket of my shorts. I use it everyday when taking my dogs for a hike. 5

[90 Hz to 20 kHz] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this JBL go 4 i use it mostly at work, and the volume is pretty loud, what i also like is that you can use the jbl app and has an option to turn on a volume boost which helps because in my shop it can get really loud sometimes because of our tire machines. I also tried it in the shower took the water pretty good just noticed that when it gets soaked or put in water the sound gets muffled a little but all i did was shake the water out the speaker and original sound came back right away i like that. Its also very portable fits perfect in my sweater pocket or jean pockets battery life is very good if you listen to it at normal levels, i like mine loud and both spanish and english music sounds very good 5

[Fabric, Plastic] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker was smaller than expected! Let me tell you that for its size the JBL Go 4 puts out an amazing sound! This is the smallest JBL speaker I own but it quickly became my favorite, always have it playing music on my work desk. The portability and sound quality makes this little speaker an always win. Starting off with the sound, the bass is definitely there and the vocal are really clear. The JBL Portable app makes it easy to update and tune the sound, I tried all the EQ presets and the JBL Signature EQ is my favorite since it balances everything and makes my music sound very good! The buttons on the unit are easy to locate and press. The one thing I don't like is the loop, it limits the object I can hang the speaker from, a clip or carabiner would have been great to give me more option to hang the speaker. Overall I'm really happy with this speaker and now I can take this speaker with me everywhere since it's easy to fit in a backpack or large pocket. Keep up the good work JBL! 5

[3 Hours] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, the big sound out of such a small speaker is really impressive. Right out of the sustainable packaging, this speaker was easy to set up and pair, the JBL app offered additional controls for EQ and Playtime Boost. I did not like the sound quality with the play time boost, you sacrifice the richness of the JBL Signature sound, so don't forget to charge the speaker before the party. I really want to add a second speaker to make use of the stereo group, this will be a great setup for campfire nights. I love the styling with the big JBL logo and the orange trim. The finger loop works great for secure carrying. For this price point, this speaker can not be beat! 5
