Powerful USB And Recording

The versatile MixPre-6 II makes an excellent USB audio interface, offering the unique ability to record audio to an SD card while simultaneously streaming multiple channels of audio via USB. Handy for interviews, podcasts, or simply as a backup recorder to your computer, the MixPre can be used for Skype or Facetime interviews, and to record audio for podcasts or video blogs.

As a musician’s tool, the MixPre is indispensable. Whether it’s serving as a top-shelf USB interface with premium mic pres for use with a DAW, getting a quick song idea recorded without AC power handy, recording rehearsals or just adding a few more inputs to your PA system, the MixPre will become an invaluable part of a musician’s life.

Intuitive Operation

The MixPre-6 II bridges the gap between sound engineers, musicians and YouTubers with user-friendly navigation featuring Basic and Advanced modes. Basic mode takes the guesswork out of audio recording and is intended for stereo recording applications, such as interviews, video blogs, music or podcasts.

The Advanced mode offers multi-channel recording and advanced settings - metering, routing, timecode, mic pre gain, stereo and Mid/Side channel linking, channel phase invert, delay, headphone presets and includes integrated Bluetooth Smart for easy connection, control and metering via iOS and Android mobile devices.

Advanced Mixing Capabilities

The MixPre-6 II is a full-featured mixer with gain control knobs for fast and accurate mixing, as well as pan, soloing and ring LED metering per each channel.

A Videographer’s Dream

The MixPre-6 II has a retractable ¼-20 mounting capacity for pairing for a wide variety of cameras and solid, low-profile tripod/camera mounting. The male and female ¼-20 threads are captive, they cannot be lost and are always available.

Capable cameras can feed Timecode to the device over the MixPre’s micro HDMI input, to synchronize sound and video, or fed into the MixPre’s 3.5mm input from an external TC generator. The MixPre-6 II’s micro HDMI input can receive "record triggers" to start and stop the MixPre’s recording via the camera’s record button.

Powering Options

For the ultimate in portability and convenience, the MixPre-6 II has multiple powering options. It can be powered from AA batteries in a convenient detachable sled of either four or eight cells. Also available is a sled that offers powering from up to two hot-swappable Sony L-Mount Li-Ion batteries. The Li-lon batteries offer the ultimate in battery life.

Additionally, the entire recorder can also be powered from a laptop’s USB-C or USB-A connectors offering convenient connection and powering with just one cable. For applications where AC is available, Sound Devices offers an optional AC adapter as well.
