Zoom M3 MicTrak Stereo In-Camera Recorder Overview
The new lightweight stereo in-camera recorder that records in 32-bit float to ensure perfectly modulated audio on every recording. The M3 has a line output to send audio directly to the camera input and has a selectable mono/90°/120° recording pattern.
PERFECT SOUND WITH EVERY PICTURE. IN ONE TAKE.
The M3 MicTrak offers filmmakers the ability to enhance their content with pristine sound quality. Designed to be mounted on a camera, the stereo microphone with built-in recorder records every sonic nuance with 32-bit float technology.
32-BIT FLOAT RECORDING
The M3 records clipping-free audio at all times. Thanks to 32-bit float recording, no equalisation is necessary. Whether it’s dialogue, sound effects or ambience in outdoor recordings, you’ll always get a perfect recording.
ABSOLUTELY READY AT ALL TIMES
The specially designed elastic mount keeps weight to a minimum and ensures minimal transmission of handheld noise.
MONO AND STEREO MODES
Switch easily between mono and stereo modes. Mono mode is ideal for dialogue recording. 90º provides accurate, transparent stereo recording. 120º stands for a generous stereo pick-up, which is especially recommended for atmosphere or sound effects.
MORE FLEXIBILITY IN POST-PRODUCTION
The M3 saves a backup file in mid-side RAW format at any time, giving you the flexibility to adjust the stereo width of the recording in post-production.
BACKUP FOR YOUR RECORDINGS
Use the 3.5mm stereo output to connect the M3 to your camera and record a backup there. This is especially useful for synchronising audio to a video.
EFFECTIVENESS IN POST-PRODUCTION
With the M3 Edit and Play software, you can adjust the stereo width of your recordings and normalise your files to prepare them for dubbing and post-production.
USB MIC
Connect the USB-C port to a PC or Mac to use the M3 as a USB microphone for streaming or recording.
MONITORING
Listen to your recordings via the 3.5mm headphone output.
POWER SUPPLY
Power the M3 on long production days with up to 12 hours of recording from two Type AA batteries.
STORAGE
