The only time you might benefit from the XLR outs is nature recording, spoken word or reeally quiet music.

New firmware release with some good stuff for MP3 owners

New MixPre v9.00 Firmware Includes New Product Features and Plugins

MixPre v9.00 firmware is now available for download from the Sound Devices website. It includes an array of new features and capabilities, including:

Two-instance NoiseAssist plugin available for the MixPre II Series in the online store. 

New +2 Channel Plugin for the MixPre-3 I and II that expands them from a 3-channel/5-track recorder into a 5-channel/7-track recorder by adding mixable and recordable channels 4 and 5.  

The ability to have both timecode and audio output on the Stereo Out 3.5mm connector on MixPre-3 II and MixPre-6 II.

A full slate mic routing matrix added to the MixPre-10 II. 

And much more!

I saw this and am excited but unsure about jumping in right now with turning my MP-3 into a MP-5. It's only a $79 plug in, so the price seems well worth it, but I just want to see if someone else does it and how it works for them.

Talked we SD support, and the +2 adds channels similar to 5/6 on the mp6.

Access to settings is by pushing in the knobs for channels 1/2.

Sounds pretty cool.

I updated my mix pre 3ii to the new firmware and added the +2 plug-in!  ;D

Very excited to give this a whirl in a few days!

What kind of bag are y'all using for your Mixpre6? Need enough room for the usual stuff - clamp, shockmounts, tbar, batteries, cables, sometimes enough for 2 pairs of mics.

I used to have a Petrol Pegz2 that worked great for my Tascam DR701d which was a similar size and layout.

I use a Portabrace RM-Multi. It fits the Mixpre-6 and an Anker battery perfectly. I tuck that into my Petrol Pegz2

I use a Lowe Pro backpack, fits everything plus lots of pockets for all the little stuff. Pic attached.

I’ve been looking at the Orca OR-28 (https://www.orcabags.com/product/or-28-mini-sound-bag-for/). It’ll fit either the MP-3 or -6. Right now I’m using a clear stadium bag with a layer of foam on the bottom.

Have been using an RM-Multi as my bag for my MP3, has just enough space for actives, cables , batteries and small windscreens.

Going to have to get the +2 plugin. Was one of the missing features between the mp6 and mp3 I always thought was odd.

So how would you have to outfit the Mixpre3 in order to use the extra channels?  I guess you'd need to use either powered mics or a line in signal into the Aux/Mic in jack?  I'm thinking if you have a stereo XLRF > 1/8 mini Y cable, you can also use it to get L and R from the soundboard...SBD > normal XLR pair > Y cable > Aux/Mic In? 

Am I thinking right here?  Any other uses?
