Sound Devices MixPre-10 II Audio Recorder & Interface

Record Anytime, Anywhere
If you’re a sound designer, podcaster, videographer, or YouTuber, you’re about to get a serious sonic upgrade. The Sound Devices MixPre-10 II eclipses its predecessor with faster, more advanced hardware and 32-bit/192kHz converters. Eight custom-engineered Kashmir mic preamps deliver pro-grade audio. A full-featured mixer and built-in USB-C audio interface are also on tap. A quick glance at the MixPre-10 II's comprehensive metering and sunlight-readable, color LCD touchscreen tell you everything you need to know. You also get internal LTC generation, adjustable analog limiters, an auto-copy function, and a 10-second pre-roll buffer. With the MixPre-10 II, you can record anytime, anywhere — with world-class quality.


Pro-grade sound from top-shelf mic pres and 32-bit converters
You'll be shocked at how great this unassuming little device sounds. Sound Devices outfitted the MixPre-10 II with eight of their great-sounding Kashmir mic preamps. These pres offer a super-low noise floor and adjustable analog limiters to keep your signal clean. 32-bit/192kHz converters ensure that everything is captured with sublime quality. XLR/TRS combo inputs accommodate a wide range of mics and instruments. The MixPre-10 II is a definite upgrade from cheap recorders with off-the-shelf IC-based preamps.


Record to SD card. Stream to USB. Or do both!
You can capture anything with the MixPre-10 II. When you're in the field, it functions standalone, recording audio directly to an SD card. You can also stream multiple channels of audio to your computer via a built-in 12-in/4-out USB-C audio interface. Best of all, you can do both simultaneously! On top of that, an auto-copy to USB drive function ensures that you’ll never lose a recording again. At Sweetwater, we've found that the MixPre-10 II is great for Skype or FaceTime interviews, and recording audio for podcasts or vlogs is a piece of cake.


It's only as difficult as you make it
Even though the MixPre-10 II is packed to the gills with useful features, Sound Devices realizes that not every YouTuber or vlogger is a recording engineer. That's why this portable recorder offers two modes of operation. Basic mode lets you start recording right out of the box. It takes the guesswork out of recording, and is great for recording interviews, vlogs, and podcasts. Advanced mode lets you really dig into the MixPre-10 II's features. It gives you access to metering, routing, timecode, mic pre gain, stereo and mid-side channel linking, headphone presets, and more. You also get a Custom mode, if you’re so inclined.


Tailor-made for videographers
Pairing the MixPre-10 II with your camera is easy, thanks to its retractable 1/4-20 mounting capacity. It can generate internal LTC for perfect audio/video synchronization, and you can also feed time code into the MixPre-10 II from an external time-code generator. This flexible recorder can receive record triggers via HDMI from your camera to start and stop recording via the camera's Record button. And because it can be powered via batteries or AC, taking it out into the field is an easy endeavor.
