REEDSBURG, WI — Sound Devices, LLC (www.sounddevices.com) announces the launch of its new product line, the MixPre Series of audio recorders with integrated USB audio interface. The lightweight, robust, ultra-portable MixPre-3 and MixPre-6are audio companions for musicians, sound designers, podcasters and videographers. Available now for $649 and $899, respectively, Sound Devices’ MixPre Series marks the first time the company is bringing its high-end, professional audio innovations to the wider consumer market.
The three-input/five-track MixPre-3 and the six-input/eight-track MixPre-6 feature Sound Devices’ new Kashmir microphone preamps. Handcrafted by Sound Devices, this new high-performance, ultra-low-noise, discrete, Class-A microphone preamp and analog limiter circuit ensures high-quality, stress-free, professional-grade audio recordings.
The MixPre-3 and MixPre-6 offer many similarities in terms of functionality, but differ in size and I/O capabilities. The MixPre-3 offers up to a five-in/two-out USB audio interface with three discrete mic preamps, and the ability to stream up to three analog inputs (including three high-quality mic inputs) + two-channel mix over USB. The MixPre-6 offers up to a eight-in/four-out USB audio interface with four mic preamps, and streams up to six analog inputs (including four high-quality mic inputs) + two-channel mix over USB to a Mac or Windows computer. In addition, the MixPre-6 features XLR / ¼-inch combo inputs allowing ¼-inch line-input sources to be connected directly. Both models record to a removable SD, SDHC or SDXC media card.
The MixPre Series will be sold at Sound Devices authorized audio resellers and distributors, which can be found at www.sounddevices.com/resellers.
