up to a 32-bit float bit depth and a 192 kHz sample rate. This newest generation of Sound Devices’ award-winning MixPre Series
has been redesigned for increased performance and an astounding 142 dB of dynamic range.
The MixPre II is highly customizable to your needs. Record internally to a compatible SD card on set or stream your podcast over
USB to your computer at home. Power with your computer, wall power, or record in the middle of nowhere with AA or Sony L-mount
batteries. Adjust limiters, bit depth, sample rates, gain, pan, low-cut, phase inversion and phantom power to your liking. Use the
MixPre’s high-precision internal timecode generator to trigger the camera, or feed timecode in. The choice is yours!
Professionals love the flexibility of the MixPre Series. Don’t need all those options? Basic mode has you covered.
All models are rugged, lightweight, and small, so you can throw it in a bag or mount it to a tripod or camera - or get situated on set
with our Wingman App and one of our four supported USB control surfaces. With the superior sound and build quality that you can
expect from the industry leader in production audio recording, your MixPre II can capture audio for any application. Our friendly and
