Q: 6. Does the MixPre-3 fit in this bag?

A: Yes, the Sound Devices MixPre-3 will fit in the PortaBrace AR-MIXPRE6 Field Audio Bag for MixPre-6 Recorder. The MixPre-6 is slightly larger than the MixPre-3. The dimensions of the MixPre-6 are 6.5 x 1.4 x 4.6" and the dimensions for the MixPre-3 are 5.7 x 1.4 x 4.3". So the bag is going to be a bit larger than required.

Q: 9. The audio levels are coming in way too low when I use the RodeLink Wireless Filmmaker Kit with the 70D. I've set the gain as high as it will go. Is there another setting that I'm missing?

A: Assuming that when you say you have set the gain as high as it will go (Basic menu/Gain HI+Plus), and turned up the channel volume, the only thing left is to make sure the output on the wireless is at max gain. I have noticed that the 70D doesn't have an abundance of gain. Depending on the output of the particular device, it could run low. It may require normalizing or boosting in software once imported.

Q: 10. Does this unit have a mic input for a stereo mini jack?
