AI might do a lot of magical things but I really don’t like when our inner creativity is challenged or replaced. Me and my Hasselblad, my microphones and mixpre or my Sony F5 and optics helps me capture a thought or visualise an idea or notion. Having something doing this for me reduce my process and what make me feel good, having achieved something from my inner thoughts. “Converting anything into audio opens new possibilities for the entertainment industry and creative professions” they say. I guess a lot of true work be very sparse in 10 years. it just make me sad. https://zeyuet.github.io/AudioX/ https://techxplore.com/news/2025-04-generate-audio-music-tracks-diverse.html

Silicone based self-fusing tape?

Nice with the stylus. The GUI is quite cramped. Not poorly designed but tricky on the tiny screen estate for a grown man’s fingers.

you should without any problems be able to route TC out from the 3.5mm output on the MixPre 6-II and connect it to the TC in on the FR-AV2.

Not shorter than 35mm though. Switchcraft have one that’s 35,6mm. https://www.switchcraft.com/aaa-series-xlr-low-profile-3-position-male-black-with-black-backshell/aaa3mblp/ You can get it from Mouser in EU. And cable techniques have European resellers for their short ones that’s 35mm. https://www.cabletechniques.com/lopro-xlr-mini-xlr https://www.cabletechniques.com/resellers Beside those there are many no name brands available from Amazon et al.

Found the manual for you. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/3272/b319b454833df396742b9d87749f39da/32721220M.pdf

Hi. Sonys MS mics with 5-pin xlr can be used as mono by cutting the phantom power to the right channel. so with a 5-pin xlr to 2x3-pin xlr cable you can pull the right xlr or turn off phantom power and the stereo signal led will turn of putting the microphone into mono/center on the left only.

So. Here it is. https://scsound.dk/shop/23-haandholdt-recorder/23248-tascam-2-kanals-audio-recorder/

Thanks for adding the missing link.

Tascam is keeping on teasing about their upcoming 32-bit float TC recorder. It might not be the main large production tool but it might be a pretty good tiny little stash away unit. https://www.instagram.com/tascam_official/p/C_0no0Ii62j/ An all-in-one solution for videographers meaning less gear at your shoots • Generate and sync/receive time code • Jam-sync ready for other time code devices • Accommodates wireless headphones • Ability to Control/Monitor up to 5 units simultaneously • 2 XLR/TRS Combo jacks • 32-bit float recording up to 192kHz • Compact sturdy body that fits in videography rig • USB-C Audio Interface

Thanks for steering me right.

As of now I don’t see any need for additional channels. I would love the balanced out but that’s no critical need either really. Fear of missing out, most of all I believe. 🙂

I have two MixPre II today. One MP3 as audio interface managing recordings of meetings, interviews etc and a MixPre-6 ii for some field recordings, small, simple choirs and some art projects with TC. I often use all four balanced inputs of the MP6 but have so far not felt the need for additional inputs although in often wished the MP6 did have balanced outputs. Now I’ve been offered to switch my MixPre-6 ii for a MixPre-10 ii with $700 in between. The MP10 ii still have warranty and is barely used at all. The seller says it was a bit too much for his need. So even if I really don’t need one as of now - is it the right step anyway and too good of a deal to miss out on?

I wish it would have been anyone else but Atomos as they have been at loss for some time and desperately looking to raise capital to manage the future. They have been searching to find their place and went into light and cloud as a path to the future. Taking on audio and Aaton seems a bit desperate and more than they can managed - even if they got it for next to nothing.

"limited edition" sounds as if they bought some old stock or EOL blimps from Rycote while they are clearing their shelfs.

They states that the RF residency from the old brass is kept. I guess we’ll soon hear how true that is.

The previous models were made out of solid brass while the new 3-series comes in a aluminium alloy casing.

Thanks. Any information or links to of which might reveal the buyer?

Just checked it out and unfortunately it’s a back pack harness PUBP like this one. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/264604-REG/Petrol_PUBP_PUBP_Adjustable_Harness.html

Dan, even I might actually have an unused Petrol harness, still in plastic bag in my storage. I’ll take a peek tomorrow and send you a PM if you like.

So was DaVinci Resolve once in a time as well.

I can see Aaton or Cantar as the audio brand together with CineAlta. Sony have the financial strength and it would solidify their cinema territory quite well.

BlackMagic have a penchant for buy left overs from closed businesses and open them for the masses. And they are quite empty on the dedicated audio recorder area.

I can recommend Trancends RecoveRx which is built on open source and testdisk but with a nice gui. https://www.transcend-info.com/support/software/recoverx
