Sound Devices MixPre-D
emmy:
Is anyone currently using this item for field recording?
http://www.sounddevices.com/products/mixpre-d.htm#
The only thing I'm concered about is the stated 10-18V external power. B&H claims (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/764543-REG/Sound_Devices_MIXPRE_D_MixPre_D_Compact_Field_Mixer.html) it can do 5-18V.
Beyond that, it seems to have everything I could ever want, including the mic-level unbalanced output for my Nikon D7000!
I've used the Sound Devices MP-2 with the AKG 451eb (cardoid) with good results, but not much in depth testing.
Can anyone speak on AKG's reputation with the Sound Devices? since that is most likely what type of microphones I'll be pairing with this device.
hi and lo:
I noticed that dc voltage range discrepancy a few weeks ago. SD's website says 10-18v but every single picture of the mixpre-d on their website clearly says 5-18v.
Anyone have an opinion on how this unit sounds? I love how much smaller it is than the usbpre2!
bryonsos:
My MixPre takes 5-18V external. The only difference with the newer "D" version is the USB out, so it's likely the same. I have no experience with pairing with AKGs, but this is an awesome clean pre IMHO. Compact, and built like a rock. It uses the same internals as their 7xx units.
eclark:
is it going to sound anything like an Oade W-mod UA5?
jbell:
Also has a digi out! AES
