Mini Amps Car Audio

[0.305 lb] Ability to charge two iPad mini's in the car at the same time is the most useful feature.

[Solid-State] Audio quality is way better than the mic in the iPad mini.

[Class AB] I've had all sorts of amps in my entertainment center, but nothing with this much power. I had assumed that I might have a hiss or other audio anomaly because my TV doesn't have the best audio output capability. I'm surprised to say, no hiss, no buzz, no nothing. Not even the fans are audible to me. Great purchase and well worth it. Be aware though, this does not have bass or treble controls, so you'll have to find a different piece of equipment if you don't like a flat response. Better TV's might give you those controls, but my LG does not.

[8] I have had numerous Sound Devices units over the years and they are simply the best for the money. The pre amps and limiters are game changing in capturing location audio. I originally got into Sound Devices with the MixPre D series because I needed the limiters for loud shooting environments where I was solo shooting without an audio operator. So good. The quality of sound is night and day from using the built in pre amps on cameras. Over the years I have upgraded a few times to the latest MixPre 10ii. The MixPre 10 ii has completely overhauled my workflow and opened up so many opportunities to record high quality multichannel applications. I shoot mostly documentary style events and corporate videos. The value for the money that you get with the MixPre 10 ii is solid. From round-table discussions, interviews, live bands, weddings, and everything in between, I have not found anything this unit cannot do for my needs. My only recommendation is to make sure you budget extra for a bag and all the connectors and batteries you are going to need. Probably $1,000 for all the extras that will come. I run mine with the Sony NP series batteries and it does great, as long as you don't go cheep on the batteries. Get good ones with high capacity from IDX or Anton Bauer.

[0.07%] I have purchased several turntable pre-amps and they lasted a short while. This one is substantial and audio reference. I expect it to last a long, long time. Excellent sound reproduction.

[3] I heard a lot about these Kashmir pre-amps, and I wanted to find out for myself. Mix-Pre 3ii lives up to the expectation. Before I used a Zoom H5 + fethead to record my SM57 into the recorder. I would then have to sync audio to video in post, and couldn't raise the 'audio' too much because of noise. With the mixPre, I can run audio directly into the camera for my liveStream or created content. I use rechargeable Enelope or PowerPack batteries, and they hold enough charge for my short projects. Also, the device ships with a power cable, and a USB C cable, so I can run audio into my laptop for HOURS. In short, 0 buyers remorse, AND thank you B&H for shipping this product literally overnight.

[Cardioid] I have been in Pro Audio for close to 30 years. I'm one of those crazy people that hoped Tube Amps would come back {A Long Time Ago}. I have allot of Condenser Mics (I prefer not to pull out to allow (Un-known Guest Presenters or the occasional Loan to a Friend. This fits both, Great Enough for me and certainly those other uses!

[35 Hz] Upgraded the audio system in an older house with several SONOS Amps and B&W speakers. Ability to stream different music to different rooms is easy to setup and everyone in the house can use it seamlessly. Sound quality and ease of use greatly exceeded my expectations - so obviously, I'm happy with my decision to use SONOS.

[1x HDMI Female] This mini Display port to HDMI passes audio and is just the right length
