Description

Overview

The MixPre-3 II Recorder is designed with three crystal-clear, ultra low-noise Kashmir preamps for recording high-quality audio for podcasts, music, and small productions. The second generation of Sound Devices’ award-winning MixPre Series has been redesigned for increased performance with an up to a 32-bit float bit depth, 192 kHz sample rate, and an astounding 142 dB of dynamic range.

The MixPre-3 II is flexible and highly customizable to your needs. It can record internally to a compatible SD card or directly to a computer over USB. Power with your computer, wall power, or internally with AA or Sony L-mount batteries.

Limiters, bit depth, sample rates, gain, pan, low-cut, phase inversion, and phantom power are all adjustable. Trigger your camera with the internal time code generator, or feed time code in via HDMI or Aux In.

Basic mode is also available for easy operation if you prefer to deal with fewer options.

The MixPre-3 II is rugged, lightweight, and small, so you can throw it in a bag or mount it to a tripod or camera. The Wingman iOS App and four supported USB control surfaces (Akai MidiMix, Korg NanoKontrol Studio and NanoKontrol 2, Novation LaunchControl XL) provide more set-up options.

Customize With the Musician Plugins
Are you a songwriter or musician? Buy the Musician Plugin to easily create a song using your MixPre-3 II as a standalone recorder or USB interface. Use onboard features like overdub, bounce, reverb, and tracking to a metronome. Create Music Projects to lay down backing tracks and use them live or at home for writing or practicing. While in Music Mode, the MixPre-3 II is limited to three simultaneous live inputs.
