Sound Devices Mixpre II review

Sound Devices Mixpre II review

February 12, 2020

In late 2019 Sound Devices released the second generation Mixpre recorders and I was one of the first recordists to test one. Are the new Mixpres worth buying? Here's my review of these devices after having used the Mixpre 6 II and 10 II on a couple of field recording expeditions.

Sound Devices Mixpre 6 review for The Audio Spotlight

May 31, 2017

I recently reviewed the Sound Devices Mixpre 6 recorder for the Audio Spotlight:

Hi there. I’m George Vlad, sound designer and recordist based in the UK. I work in game audio and I release sound effects libraries through Mindful Audio.  I’m going to review the recently-released Sound Devices Mixpre 6 recorder from the perspective of a sound guy with an interest in subtle sounds (ambience, Foley), loud sources (vehicles, firearms) and everything in between. I don’t do a lot location or voice recording so I won’t insist on these aspects.

In my day to day work I use a Sound Devices 633 and a Sony PCM D100, but lately I’ve been meaning to add a few more channels to my main rig. I’ve been looking at the Sound Devices Mixpre-D, 302 or the 442 for this purpose. The Mixpre-D and the 302 can only output 2 channels which don’t quite fit my needs, while the 442 has the right number of outputs but boy is it heavy.

[Head over to the TAS website to read the rest of the review.]
