Sound Devices MixPre-3 II — 3-Channel / 5-Track 32-Bit Float Recorder & USB Interface
The MixPre-3 II is the entry point to Sound Devices' compact recorder line — designed for field audio, sound effects, podcasts, voice-over, music, and indie film. Despite its small footprint, it shares the same Kashmir mic preamps and 32-bit float A/D topology as its bigger siblings, delivering broadcast-grade audio in a setup that fits in a backpack.
