No one can deny the quality of a Sound Devices field recorder. And their indie film priced MixPre II series doesn't disappoint. But at the end of the day, we're after one thing on set and that's clean dialogue. And if you're a one-man band at times, you need a field recorder that supports 32-bit float and captures good sound.

The MixPre II does this, but it also costs a thousand bucks. Is there an alternative?

Today we look at the ZOOM F3 compared to the MixPre II when capturing dialogue in 32-bit float mode. The ZOOM F3 costs $300. So if it can do the job, that's a lot of money saved.
