That would be the 3L.

You betcha! I was stoked when I got it home and it worked, so glad to help spread the word.

This looks cool! Does the Anker slim 10000 PD work well? Do you know roughly how many hours you could record with it?

Wondering if the Anker 20000 I recently ordered is a bit overkill. I orobably won’t be recording more than a few hours at a time maximum.

It’s almost perfect for me! Never had it run out of battery while recording so don’t know really. You’ll surely be able to do a few hours, I think I’ve read somewhere it’ll do 10h (also depends on phantom power ofc). The biggest problem I have with the powerbank is that if you leave it plugged in to the mixpre is slowly discharges.

Thanks - then it will be more than enough for me. I want to save some size/weight too, so I canceled the 20000 PD and will try the 10000 :).

I posted this on the field recording thread but I think it fits here too since it is about the Mixpre.

Great find. I just picked one up. I probably have enough portable battery packs to fill a storage unit but most don’t live up to real world strain and use cases. I’ve been looking for something like this!

Has anyone here had success using the first-generation MixPres as USB-C autio interfaces for iPads?

SD published compatibility notes for the second-generation products, but suggests that the configurations “may work” with the earlier versions. I just picked up an iPad, but my M-series MixPre’s back home and I won’t be there for a month or so.

Thanks!

I’ve used my Mixpre 6 with my iPhone and iPad via the camera connection cable with USB C power into the adapter, and a USB-A to lightning connector. If you have a USB C ipad, it should work no problem.

Yeah, even though SD doesn’t really advertise it, several people have seem to had success using the USB-A port (which they say is for the keyboard or external controller) for hooking up to iPad, and powering via the USB-C port.

I’ve been meaning to try it out with my iPhone as that would be really awesome and it seems to work for many, but my iPhone “camera adapter” is hiding somewhere after the workspace reorganization…

Perfect, thank you! I’ll make decent YouTube videos, at last! :smile:

That was pretty much why I was thinking of that pairing as well…
