It seems that Sound Devices has made the decision to trim down its product line a bit with regards to those bulletproof mixers and audio tools they used to make. Anyone else wish they would come out with some new models?
Don’t get me wrong—the 8 series are serious tools for serious jobs, and the price point of the MixPre series is fantastic. The Audio Ltd. purchase made sense. But I find myself pining for a MixPre-D version 2. Or a 302. Simple, rugged, excellent sound, just the right amount of features. Often the right tool for the job when a mixer-recorder is too much.
