General
The MixPre-3 II from Sound Devices is an incredibly compact, portable preamp/audio recorder designed for field-recording, sound effects, voice-over, podcasts and soundtracking as well as music, in extremely high quality. Record your audio source in a depth of 32-bit float with a sample rate of 192 kHz. The crystal clear Kashmir preamps help maintain the unprecedentedly high dynamic range and ensure that every detail of the source material remains fully intact. Record multiple actors, podcasts or audio clips in superior audio quality with the MixPre-3 II, adjust and set it to your own preferences, make recordings directly to an SD card or stream immediately via USB connection to your laptop or desktop. The MixPre-3 II receives power via a computer, wall socket or batteries when you want to work on your mobile phone.
Deep Integration of Film and Video
In addition to complete control over the bit depth, limiter, sample rates, gain, pan and a list of other functions, a connected camera can be triggered with the internal time code generator, or fed via the HDMI or Aux input and get assured of perfect sound and image synchronisation. Of course, you have complete control over the parameters, but if you happen to want to simplify things while still maintaining the best possible recording quality, just use the basic mode, which makes the already tight and lightweight MixPre-3 II, a great travelling companion and tool for found-sound recording. The recorder can also be remotely controlled via the available Wingman App with which the four supported USB controllers can be selected to easily manage your settings. In short, if you are looking for the highest possible audio quality in a compact format with an excellent build, then look no further than the MixPre-3 II.

+ Zeer solide recorder, deels aluminium, deels kunststof behuizing.
+ Extra aux-in aansluiting met PIP
+ 32 bit float elimineert het risico op oversturing
+ Afstandsbediening zowel via Android als iOS app mogelijk
+ Mogelijkheid bij Bax Shop om een produkt te retourneren als deze niet bevalt
- Hoog stroomverbruik, dus kortere opnametijd met oplaadbare batterijen
- Batterijvak klemt, moeilijk te plaatsen en los te halen
- Lichte verkleuring van het lage middengebied
Na enig testen kreeg ik timecode met de Nikon Z7 aan de praat, maar alleen bij lage resoluties of frame rates (!!) (*) Met een Nikon D500 of D800E kreeg ik het niet aan de praat. Devies: toch even eerst testen voordat je dit apparaat koopt.
*: in theorie zou het ook kunnen dat de door mij gebruikte micro-HDMI naar mini-HDMI kabel niet goed werkt bij de hoge datarates bij 4K beeldtransmissie. Dit type kabel is echter nagenoeg nergens te krijgen en de enige die ik vond (en kocht) was wel duur naar had geen specificaties. Als iemand nog deze kabels weet te vinden, hou ik me aanbevolen!!! (En het zou sowieso goed zijn als fabrikanten deze toch al problematische micro-HDMI adapter zoveel mogelijk zouden mijden...)
Maar LET OP: de timecode synchronisatie en de start/stop via de camera werkt slechts op een heel beperkt aantal modellen camera's! Zo worden onder meer Nikon camera's in het geheel niet ondersteund. Kijk eerst even op https://www.sounddevices.com/supported-cameras/ of de camera die je hebt wel werkt...
