MIXER LINKING

To link a 664 to a MixPre-D:

1.  Use the Sound Devices XL-TA25—a 20-inch, TA5F to 

3.5 mm TRS accessory cable, as shown—to connect 

the Link I/O of the 664 to the Tape Out connector 

on the MixPre-D. This sends the stereo mix of both 

mixers directly to the stereo master bus of the 664.

2.  Monitor and record the stereo sum of all input channels on the master bus 

of the 664.

3.  Adjust the levels on each mixer accordingly. 

 

i

The MixPre-D’s Tape Out 3.5 mm TRS is wired accordingly: tip=left, ring=right, 

sleeve=ground.
