Sound Devices MixPre-10T

Is there a HOLD...?

^^^^this,please^^^^^
Gain adjust from Wingman app would be cool too...

But I simply don't know how they would implement remote gain control without motorized knobs on the machine.

No need for motorized knobs; the knobs are only digital encoders which send signals to the software, which in turn tells the gain stages what to do.  It's all internal.  This is how the 788 can be remotely controlled by the CL-8 or CL-9, the 688 can be controlled by the CL-12, or how the Zoom F4/F8 can do remote gain from their mobile app.

If the knobs were actually analog pots as in the older SD unit (ex. 7-series excluding the 788) then they would need to be motorized.

The one place you tend to see motorized digital gain controls are faders on digital mixing consoles, such as when you trigger programmed scene cues and all of the faders move to their assigned positions.  I believe this is done because the fader position provides a clear visual feedback for the engineer, but in terms of what's happening under the hood it's otherwise not necessary.

Will the 10t fit in a Petrol 601?

Would a right angle hirose connector alleviate the issues with the connectors awkward position?

Does anyone run Neumann Km140/50's >  SD Mix pre 3 or 6 or 10 here?  direct in. Im curious how these preamps are with the Neumanns.

[jbell]

Gordon runs Neumann's ak40s >lc3>pfa> Mixpre-6

[waltmon]

I am loving the Neumann > minpre-6 combo...

This may be a stupid question, but since ther is no such thing as a stupid question. Here goes:
Is there a pre-record on the 10T?
If so is there a way to enable it?

Most decks I have owned  have has a 6 second pre-record function  so if in the pause record mode once the record button was press it would record 6 seconds prior to the button puch. This has often saved me from missing an introduction.

Any information would be most helpful!
Thanks

No, there's no pre-record. Rumor has it that it will be in a future firmware update, though. It should be doable, as the meters are active before you press record. It's one press record, so there isn't a pause record mode...

If it's possible to implement this feature with a firmware update, I find it really odd that SD did not include it from the beginning. 
It's kind of a standard option with nearly every digital recorder that's been released in the last 10 years.

true.

or maybe it keeps getting looked over?

either way... with batteries and card sizes these days, just hit record before you head to the beer line or restroom and you can trim in post.

but still... it would be nice to add in a firmware update.

i'm hoping they come out with a fix for that funky hirose connection.  that's my main gripe before buying, right now. well, that and HOLD.

Yes thanks. On the F8 that I just sold, you could engage record by either record direct, or pause record. either way it would have a 6 second pre-roll record. It is strange that it was not an included feature.
I guess I'll need to rely on the wingman app to quickly start my deck if needed.

I know I often do this. I just like to minimize files sizes if possible.....
