The 2nd Generation of a Filming Reference
A direct evolution of the award-winning MixPre series, the MixPre-6 II retains the compact and robust format of its predecessors while offering 32-bit floating point recording and a dynamic range extended to 142 dB. Positioned at the heart of the MixPre II range, it combines mobility, conversion quality, and advanced synchronization tools for fast shoots, interviews, and demanding reports.
For Creators, Podcasters, and Independent Film Teams
Whether you are recording voices, ambiances, effects, a multi-guest podcast, or audio for picture, the MixPre-6 II adapts. It fits into a bag, mounts on a tripod or camera, powers condenser microphones with 48 V phantom power, and offers precise headphone monitoring. In the field, it records internally to an SD card; in the studio or at home, it becomes a reliable USB interface for broadcasting and streaming.
Professional Features That Simplify Sound Capture
The Kashmir preamps deliver extremely low noise floor and comfortable gain headroom for dynamic and ribbon microphones. The adjustable high-pass filter (40 to 160 Hz) cleans handling noise, while transparent limiters secure your peaks. The internal timecode generator and TC input ensure smooth post-production, with camera triggering possible via HDMI or Aux.
Thanks to the USB-C port, the MixPre-6 II functions as an 8-input / 4-output interface for multitrack recording or live podcasting. Power options vary according to context: USB-C bus power, AC adapter, or 4xAA battery pack (optional L-mount batteries), for maximum autonomy and flexibility in the field. The free Wingman app finally offers comfortable remote control.
