Portable analog mixer
- 66 dB max gain
- 2 "Mic" input XLR, with or without food "phantom" (48V or 15V)
- 1 input "tape RTN" (for monitoring)
- 2 output "line" XLR
- 1 output "line" stereo mini-jack
- Output 1 "headset" jack stereo
- Enables two levels of filtering if necessary (80 Hz or 160 Hz)
- Powered by two batteries (or rechargeable) AA standard
- Accepts an external power supply (not included)
UTILIZATION
I use this mixer with Marantz PMD620 recorder ("tape OUT" connected to the MixPre "in line" with the PMD620 stereo mini-jack cable "unbalanced").
MixPre configuration is simple, but reading the manual is worth before first use.
The case is very sturdy.
Caution: Enabling Power "phantom" is obligatory on the two entries at a time (no way to use an input power with "phantom" and without aure).
SOUNDS
I was impressed with the quality of the preamps: neutral, breathless and with good headroom for my use.
I finally feel the best use of my mics (mainly a pair of Rode NT5, Shure SM57 and a Audix I5)!
OVERALL OPINION
I use the MixPre for a week. I was impressed with the quality of recordings that can be done with. I am very happy.
Nine, the MixPre is relatively affordable in the U.S. (compared to other mixers of good quality), but I think it's really expensive in France.
