Jim Feeley Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Looks like they can accept and record TC, but can't generate it. But the prices are reportedly something like $650 and $1000; something like that. Different products for different users.

Mobilemike Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Ok this rocks my world. Not a replacement for my 633 or 788t or 702... but a huge help in lots of other situations. Hopefully the mic preamps will be on par with other SD products - I always get a little nervous when marketing departments start giving mic preamps cute names... -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Perkins Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 RE TC: lots of small jobs never use it. It's very like SD to leave a back door for real TC if you want it--many people used the 552's recorder this way: ext. TC box or a connection to a camera etc., ditto Tascam HDP2, and it worked fine in its limited way. I look forward to hearing these new pres. Touch screen! So...what about scratches? Will the touch still work if you have a screen-protector on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any of our esteemed dealers know the actual size of the two units? It doesn't look like the -6 is that much physically larger than the -3 (which would be great). -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismedr Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 this page clears up a lot of questions: https://www.sounddevices.com/products/recorders/mixpre-3/feature-comparison it says: TIMECODE: Reader Time of Day, HDMI or LTC via Aux In so hook up a tentacle to the 3.5" and there's your timecode. other notable info from that page that got lost in the announcement: - low cut goes as low as 40Hz -- EDIT: actually the specs page says 80Hz while the comparison page says 40Hz - the MixPre-6 up to 192hz (MixPre-3 to 96khz) - input delay on MixPre-6 looks like a lovely unit, most likely going to get one if the price is right : ) chris On 19 Apr 2017 at 6:20 PM, Mobilemike said: Do any of our esteemed dealers know the actual size of the two units?

Matthew Manville Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Wow! Cheap, too! These look like great little machines, I'm honestly surprised to find SD stepping into this micro-budget territory though. This seems like an amazing backup recorder to have around, better than the f4 or f8 if the pre-amps are up to SDs quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codyman Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Looks like it would be a great backup recorder for travel gigs. Small enough to keep stored away somewhere without adding tons of weight to your bag, but with enough features to "make things work" if your main unit fails.

daniel Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 and i did wonder if something like this was round the corner when they gave 633 dugan automix. I like the integrated blue tooth. not sure what's meant by 4 or 8 AAs but I guess I'll find out soon enough. Is SD's movement into this end of the market indicative of where our part of an industry is going? mixpre 6 half the weight of 633! And the USB streaming feature is a really nice touch for expanding the capability of the device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantin Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 They look really great. Might get one just for the hell of it... no, not really, but as a backup?Not too thrilled about the combo inputs, but anyway. Most importantly for me: this appears to be SD's big announcement for this year's NAB. So it seems to me like a larger 788T update sadly is not around the corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Stage Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) 12 minutes ago, daniel said: allen key and spare grub screw holder on board? The allen wrench is included with the unit and has a slot on the rear which it locks into magnetically. There is a captive 1/4"-20 bolt in the middle of the unit. Using the allen wrench, it can be pushed out and rotated for connection to other mounts / gear.
