Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is maximum distance between the two USB-A sockets? And the key question, will that work in an airliner to draw power from USB sockets in two seats?..

A: The approximate distance between the 2 USB-A connectors of this cable is 3 feet. This distance should allow the user to plug-in each USB-A connector to a power source without straining the cable. While USB-A voltage should always be 5-volts, we cannot comment on the current that is available at each USB-A port of the airline equipment is use, as this probably varies per airplane. As an alternative, you might consider a USB-C-to-USB-C cable along with a portable USB-C power bank / battery.

Q: 2. So, do the two USB-A connectors plug into those on a PC and the USB-C end plug into the recorder to power it? If so, could I use this with an external USB powerpack that has two USB-A out connections to power the recorder and phantom powered external mics for a period of several hours? (Instead of using Sony L-mount batteries?)

A: Hi Ross, You are correct: the two USB-A connectors would plug into your computer and the USB-C end will connect to your MixPre 3/6 to power it. Yes you can also use a USB Powerpack to power your MixPre-3/6. Just in case here are additional powering options for your reference: https://www.sounddevices.com/tech-notes/mixpre-3-mixpre-6-powering-options Thanks!

Q: 3. What's the pin out on this?

A: The IK Multimedia IP-CABLE-MIDI-IN is a 2.5mm TRS to 5-pin DIN MIDI female adapter cable that is 3.9" (10 cm) long and intended for use various iRig models like the iRig Pro and iRig Keys 2, as well as the UNO Drum and UNO Synth. It is also suitable for use with other MIDI interfaces that use this type of cable. The manufacturer has not provided details for the pin out, but it seems to be standard.

Q: 4. Does this adapter have a brass metal tab in (what I call) the line-up slot inside the outer ring of the female MIDI connector? The one that came with the iRig Pro Duo I/O does and that metal tab blocks a standard MIDI male connector from fully connecting so the connection will hold. thx

A: The IK Multimedia iRig TRS to MIDI Cable is the same cable that is included with the iRig Pro Duo.

Q: 5. Do I need to add a mixer to this? If I do add a mixer, what do I gain?

A: No, a separate mixer is not required for use with the Sound Devices MixPre-6 II 6-Channel / 8-Track Multitrack 32-Bit Field Recorder. Whether you might want to use a separate mixer depends on the requirements for a specific application. For example, you could use a separate mixer if you need additional input channels to connect more than four microphones, instruments, or line level audio sources to record simultaneously.

Q: 6. Is the pin assign compatible with ProTools C24 console, or other protools interfaces?

A: The Mogami Gold 8 Channel Analog Snake Cable, DB-25 to 8x XLR Female - 5' uses a common pin-out configuration that should be compatible with Avid's C|24 console.
