If you record field audio, sound effects, podcasts, voiceovers, music or audio for film, or are just starting your audio journey, the Sound Devices 3 XLR input / 5-track USB streaming interface with internal SD card, the MixPre-3 II, is for you!

This latest generation of Sound Devices' award-winning MixPre series has been redesigned for improved performance and an amazing 142 dB dynamic range.

The MixPre-3 II can be highly customised to suit your needs. Record internally to a compatible SD card on the set or stream your podcast via USB to your home computer. Power via your computer, via wall outlet or record anywhere with AA or Sony L-mount batteries. Adjust limiters, bit depth, sampling frequencies, gain, pan, low-cut, phase inversion and phantom power to your liking. Activate your camera with the internal timecode generator or input the timecode via HDMI or Aux In. The choice is yours!

Professionals love the flexibility of the MixPre series. Don't need all those options? In basic mode, you'll be fine.

Your MixPre-3 II is robust, light and small, so you can throw it in a bag or mount it on a tripod or camera - or get on set with our Wingman app and one of the four supported USB control surfaces.
