So I have been thinking of moving from my current DR-70D to the MixPre-6 but had some questions regarding the regular MixPre-6 and this 6m version
On eBay right now there is a 6m for around $600ish and I found this comparison page here:
https://www.sounddevices.com/mixpre-comparison-chart/The main differences being the 6m doesn't do 192hz (don't bother me, I run 44.1khz or 48khz), doesn't have timecode (currently don't have a need for this feature), doesn't have the
Record Start/Stop Trigger feature (what is this?) and doesn't have M/S decoding (don't have a figure of 8 capsule)
So, would I be OK to grab the 6m or be best served to wait around the Yard Sale for the normal MixPre-6 or MixPreII (this one has 32-bit encoding or something, right?)
As you can see, I am not the most technically knowledgeable individual and just looking for something small and with relatively good enough preamps for concert recording. Plus, all the cool kids were rocking MixPres at the recent Phish run I went to and those lights are pretty.
