Flexible Outputs To accommodate the increasing variety of cameras and devices used in production, the MixPre-D has incredible output flexibility. Outputs include balanced mic/line XLR, digital AES (XLR), dedicated consumer mic-level on a locking TA3 connector (designed specifically for DSLR-type inputs) and an aux-level output on a 3.5 mm connector. USB Audio Interface The "D" in MixPre-D indicates the infusion of extensive digital technology. In addition to AES digital outputs, USB audio streaming is provided for Mac OS, Windows or Linux computers. When the MixPre-D is connected to a computer with a USB cable, the operating system recognizes it as a USB Audio Class compliant device. No driver installation is required. Additional Features A wide range of additional features in the MixPre-D makes it a perfect complement to larger mixers, such as the Sound Devices 302 Compact Production Field Mixer and the 552 Portable Production Mixer. These features include: a M-S stereo matrix, tone oscillator, internal slate microphone, return monitoring of both analog and USB audio, high-gain headphone output, and two AA batteries or external 10-18 VDC powering. The MixPre-D continues the heritage of Sound Devices original MixPre, which has been the go-to mixer for audio professionals who need the lightest, simplest and highest performance mixer available.
