Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the sled attach securely to either the Mixpre 3 or the Mixpre 6?

A: Yes this will fit Sound Devices Mixpre like a glove secure.

Q: 2. Are we able to use 8 iPower rechargeable lipo batteries with this sled?

A: It is not recommended to use rechargeable lithium batteries with a Mixpre series recorder. Sound Device does recommend using 1.5v non-rechargeable lithium batteries, or higher powered NiMH batteries such as B&H # PAKJ17KHCA4A.

Q: 3. Any problem of loose contact pin in this model as official Sound Device product? ( as it seems white labeled Hawkwood SD2, which has some people hase solder burning complaints )

A: I have heard no complaints on the build quality of this sled. Sound Devices makes exceptionally high quality equipment.

Q: 4. does this work with the mixpre 6 ii? If so, is there a particular Sony L-style battery you would suggest to run the mixpre-6 ii?

A: Yes, the Sound Devices MX-LM1 L-Mount Battery Sled for MixPre, MixPre-M & MixPre-II Mixer/Recorders is compatible with the MixPre-6 II. Any Sony L-series battery will be compatible.

Q: 5. Is this battery sled made of metal? From the reviews of the earlier, double L battery mount from Sound Devices, I’d be hesitant to shell out almost three times more money for this one if it is still made of plastic.

A: Thank you for asking. This device is made of plastic, but its form factor is considerably different than that of the MX-LMOUNT.

Q: 6. Hi Is it possible to use Channel Knobs to Adjust ISO Levels in 32-Bit float? BR

A: Thank you for the immediate response. I asked this because in my MIxpre 6 in Custon mode I have full control of the gain level up to 96dB (76 plus 20 dB), and the most important thing I can see the meter view at the LCD With the series II, which can be see (always talking about ISO track in 32 Bts) One more time thanks BR Renzo

Q: 7. Has anyone squeezed a mixpre-10 in this yet? It looks like it will fit if the XLR’s are low profile. I know the canned answer - but has anyone actually tried or have both so they could give it a shot? I’ll buy you a beer, I swear.

A: The MixPre-10 II is a bit larger than the MixPre 3 and 6 models that this bag is listed as supporting. We do not believe it will fit the MixPre-10 II and is not recommended.

Q: 8. Hi, I was curious what size/capacity of L-mount batteries this sled can accommodate? The photo here looks like it can use the larger/higher capacity batts, but the image of this sled on the Sound Devices site uses the smaller, lower capacity batts. Any observations? Many thanks!

A: It works fine with any capacity battery. Just keep in mind that the larger the capacity and physical size of the battery, the more awkward the MixPre may get on a tabletop or a bag, because the batteries stick out so far from the sides of the unit.

Q: 9. will this fit the Tascam DR-70D?

A: Yes, the ORCA OR-270 Sound Bag will accommodate the size of the Tascam DR-70D 6-Input / 4-Track Multi-Track Field Recorder.

Q: 10. Is there a voltage regulator inside or does ist pass through voltage/current from the 7,2v l-mount battery?

A: Voltage regulation not needed with Sony l type batteries it’s designed for those

Because of negative comments about battery life on the MixPre 3 recorders, I bought the 8 Cell Battery Sled when I bought my recorder. With NiMH batteries, it looks like I can get over four hours recording time. That’s plenty for me. There isn’t too much to say about the sled other than, it works. It has a surprisingly robust feel considering its plastic construction. Like other reviewers, I was initially confused concerning how to open the sled. I finally realized that there is a small tab at the end to permit it to be opened. A short video or even a picture or diagram from B & H or “Sound Devices” could help alleviate the confusion. 5

I updated my audio bag to include an SD MixPre-6 but wasn't thrilled with the powering options. �But when I found this, I pressed order! �And I'm glad I did. �It works nicely with�Remote Audio�BDSv4U. 5

This is a spare four AA cell battery sled for a Sound Devices MixPre-3. Like the MixPre-3 itself, this part is well made and of excellent quality. It is light weight and made of plastic, but was designed that way to keep the MixPre at about one pounds. Anything Sound Devices makes is first rate in design and build quality. 5

I bought this instead of the Sony mount sled because I prefer the slim form factor of 8 AA Battery sled for the Mix Pre 6. I felt that the Sony mount takes away from that slim form factor and requires a bigger audio bag to house it. Let me start off by saying that when I got it, I had my doubts about it, especially when it comes to opening the top battery lid to add the 4 additional batteries. After some practice I found that the easiest way to open the battery sled is to pinch both side of the top lid (opposite of the top latch) and lifting up. The arrow icon near the corned of the latch is useless and is hard to operate since you need to apply pressure to the latch to open the top lid while lifting. That being said, my recorder lasts a LONG time and would recommend the Panasonic Eneloop Pro batteries. Add a USB-C power bus and your recorder can easily last an entire shoot day. 5

This is good if all you need is 2.5 maybe 3 hours of recording time (at one time), which fits what I do, plus it doesn't take up much room. You can always stop and replace the batteries, if you need more time, and i use the 3200 Energizer rechargeables. It snaps in the back of the mixPre 3, and has a very snug fit. It is hard plastic, but it does what it is designed to do, and so I'm pleased with it. 5

I was tired of carrying, swapping, and charging AAs for my MixPre-6 and forked out the money for this. As mentioned, it is a very secure connection that has me using the USB-C cable to get the files. I had been using it only when stationary, but recently bought a Sachtler small audio bag to carry my vmount battery, whose power will last longer than my shoulders. As trustworthy as their cables. 5

I use the USB C for power, but the 8AA batt sled is great backup and lasts longer than my current 4XX batt sled. 5

The Sound Devices MixPre-6 II is a great, compact recorder, but it eats AA batteries for lunch. Some users power their MixPre-6 II (and MixPre-3 II) with USB power banks, but the USB connection is fragile and risks getting pulled out of place while in use. Enter the Hirose adapter. If you’re using one of the smaller MixPre units, there’s nothing like an NP-1 or HiQ battery for getting through an entire production day, and the Hirose adapter allows for use with the proper battery cup. The MX Powersled features solid, metal construction that snaps easily in place on the recorder. This is a great power solution for the MixPre-3/6 II recorders. 5
