Sound Devices MixPre-6 II 6-Channel / 8-Track Multitrack 32-Bit Field Recorder

The Sound Devices MixPre-6 II multitrack field recorder is a perfect tool for independent filmmakers, field recordists, and Ambisonic lovers that want clear audio capture of up to four microphones (or any combination of these). While listening to music through headphones, record up to six tracks of external sources (two channels through a 3.5mm mini connector and four channels via XLR-1/4" combination jacks) as well as a stereo mix at sample rates and resolutions of up to 192 kHz / 32-bit. Sample rates of up to 96 kHz are possible if you decide to utilize the MixPre-6 II as your studio interface.

Compared to its predecessor, the MixPre-6 II has numerous improvements. The capacity to record at 32-bit floating point to an internal SD card is the most important of these features. Additionally, the device can be used as an audio interface that streams 32-bit floating point audio to a Mac computer via USB. You can almost never clip (distort) audio on the way in because of this. The unit's remarkable 142 dB dynamic range can be utilized for recording at high volumes, and the only limitation will be the caliber of your microphone.

Moreover, recorded music can now be automatically copied to USB flash drives, which simplifies file transfers. A comprehensive, built-in timecode generator that is accurate to better than 0.2 ppm (0.5 frames per day) will delight fans of sync. The MixPre-6 II retains precise timecode for up to four hours even when it is turned off. This is all available in a six-channel kit that runs on AA batteries, Sony L-series batteries, wall chargers, and PCs. The MixPre-6 II is a versatile tool that may be used in both basic and complex applications for any small-scale, field-based production.
