Inputs Galore. At the heart of the Sound Devices MixPre-D Compact Field Mixer are two studio-grade mic/line inputs with available limiters, high-pass filters and phantom power. You can link inputs in standard or MS mode for stereo recording applications. All of these input functions are configured with front-panel controls.
Incredible Output Flexibility. To accommodate a wide 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 3.5mm connection.
