USB Hub
The MixPre II supports multiple USB devices such as USB thumb drives, Midi controllers, and/or USB Keyboards via a USB hub.
To maximize USB hub support, note:
Powered hubs are recommended as these can deliver appropriate current.
If using non-powered hubs, do not connect more than three low power devices.
Connect each USB device individually rather than all at once.
The peak current of all three devices at once may exceed the max peak current of the supply.
If devices are randomly dismounting there is not enough current to power all the attached devices. Remove one or more devices or
use a powered hub.
USB-A support (with or without hub) is only available when MixPre is fully powered and not in low power mode.
Only one USB controller can be used at a time.
Only one USB drive can be used at a time.
When using non-powered hubs with the MixPre 3 II or 6 II, use an L-mount battery, a 4-pin Hirose DC adapter (e.g. from
Hawkwoods), a USB-C wall adapter, or USB-C battery pack (e.g. from Anker or Ravpower). USB-C from a computer may not
provide sufficient power to operate all USB devices connected to a non-powered USB hub.
The USB-A port does not support hubs when being powered from AA batteries.
Use a high quality USB-C to C cable when powering from a USB-C power source, preferably one meter or less. Low quality USB-C
cables could cause erratic behavior.
