[0.285 lb] I actually ended up getting this cable to help me power an ssd to work with an older device that outputs at low power through some usb-a ports (a wii u gaming console, actually). It works like a charm, although I had to switch up my ssd since the old one's usb-c port was too recessed to have a stable connection with the cable. Overall very happy with my purchase, especially given that the cable has more uses with the actual mixpre systems that it's intended for should I choose to invest in them ^^

[Black] We use the MixPre 6 II to both record ISO tracks on a podcast and send a mix into the computer for livestream. But we're using a 2015 MacBook Pro, so without this cable we couldn't get the device to last long enough. This cable solves it all and makes the workflow a breeze!

[Black] This saved the day on a remote job that I had. The mx-powersled fits snug on the mixpre 3 and makes it possible to unplug and go. I powering it through the usb c but this makes it far more accessible and easier to manage.

[0.285 lb] Needed to connect RAVPower USB battery to MixPre 6. Works great.

[Black] Upgraded my sound kit with the new MixPre-6 but didnt want to power via, USB-C, AA or L-Mount.  This allows me to use my existing NP-1 distribution system. Its a tight fit and can be hard to unmount and swap SD cards.

[0.285 lb] Snaps in really securely and is solidly all metal, though you have to be careful when inserting. I also have the 8 battery sled and the Sony sled but even those don't match the run time of this with a v-mount battery. You can also use this with an NP1 cup. The Sony sled holds batteries in awkward positions. The only downside of this unit is that you have to use this and the battery with a decent size bag.

[Black] Sled is very well constructed and provides a nice alternative to powering your MixPre-6/3 while freeing up the USB-C port for streaming.

[0.285 lb] I got this cable to connect my MixPre 3 to my computer to use it as an audio interface. A standard USB-C to A cable will work but the mixer will run in low power mode, limiting functionality. This cable allows full power, full functionality when connected to a computer, though it does require two free USB A ports.

The cable seems sturdy and high quality, which is good because it's not inexpensive.

Basically, it does what I needed it to do and seems like decent quality, I'm happy with it.

[0.285 lb] 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.

[Black] It's a bit annoying that one needs this cable in the first place to power the MixPre while using it as a USB interface. I considered a Hirose power sled adapter but that was going to be a lot of trouble and expense. Against Sound Devices' recommendation I tried a couple workarounds using other types of USB-C adapters designed for other devices and predictably they didn't work. So you do need this cable, and at least it's nice and sturdy with heavy gauge wire and a handy 6' length. As per a YouTube video I use it with a powered USB hub (TenDak) connected to an iPhone with the lightning-USB camera adapter. It's a little kludgey with all the wires and adapters but it does work reliably, allowing me to use very high quality mics and the MixPre's excellent preamps and ADC for recording video on the iPhone with a third party app (ProMovie). This saves a ton of trouble syncing and mixing the tracks post-capture. So overall I can't complain, it does the job I needed!
