Raw WAV sound samples from the Sound Devices MixPre-6 compared to the Zoom F8 and Sound Devices 633 so that you can hear the difference in timbre between the three. In each case we recorded in the exact same location (my unfinished basement with concrete floors, sound blankets, and ceiling with batt insulation covered by plastic sheathing). All three recorded with the DPA 4017b shotgun microphone.
