Zoom F4/F8 vs MixPre-3 and 6 Audio Recorder Comparison
Which audio recorder should you buy for your film or video project? Here we compare the Zoom F4 and F8 up against the Sound Devices MixPre-3 and 6. This new class of audio recorders have pushed the boundaries on what is possible with a sub-$1000 sound recorder. They produce stellar quality audio recordings. But it can be confusing to figure out which one may be best for you. Since I’ve worked with the Zoom F4 and F8 for over a year and several months with the Sound Devices MixPre-6, let me share my observations. I hope this helps!
