The new 3.0 firmware update for the Sound Devices MixPre series adds some serious new features for recording musicians and location recordists. These include support for USB controllers from the likes of Novation, Korg and Akai and pre-roll recording (5s for MicPre-3 and 6 and 10s for MixPre-10). On the location recording side, there’s support for the Sennheiser Ambeo mic with full Ambisonics decoding within the hardware for live monitoring.
The firmware is a free update for all MixPre users and will be available in the next few weeks.
