6. Zoom F3
The Zoom F3 is a professional field recorder with two balanced XLR inputs, designed for "noise-free recording".

The input signal is recorded in 32-bit float WAV format, which can maintain the resolution at the time of recording and reproduce the sound without degradation, retaining the original resolution even after post-recording normalisation processing. The combination of dual AD converters and 32-bit float recording, together with a thoroughly simple design that prevents accidental operation, means that anyone can simply press the REC button and record audio without gain adjustment or sound distortion. The palm-sized, compact and robust housing can also be clipped to a boom microphone.
