The Best 3 channel mixer used by professionals in the field

by Colin from Virginia

Music Background: Film, Doc, TV, Sound Effects Gathering
This product is the best you can buy. There are others but Sound Devices created this to be strong, its made like a brick. The pre-amps and limiters built in are great also. It can use a 4 pin hirosa ... read more [+]cable to a NP-1 cup or power distribution system to use as a battery source. But the great thing is 3 batteries and this thing goes for a day and a half.

Its a field mixer, so best used in the field, I use it for Film, Docs, TV and sound effects gathering. I use a TA3 output into my zoom H4N into the back stereo 1/8th input.

The only con is a minor one, its the headphone out, its high on the left side and can be tight in some bags. nothing to big.

The reason i ordered this product from sweetwater was because of the 3 easy payments, made it a great way and super easy to do. close [-]
