Premium Lundahl input transformers and discrete 6-transistor balanced output drivers
Nothing has as big as an impact on the quality of your sound as the components involved with the inputs and outputs. That's why Sound Devices equipped the MixPre with Lundahl input transformers and 6-transistor balanced output drivers. These devices ensure that the signal coming in and going out of the MixPre stays as clean and clear as possible. You, in turn, have amazing sounding audio for your broadcast.
"Unclippable" input peak limiters
Things can get interesting in the field and you don't always have the means to keep a constant eye on your levels. But thankfully, Sound Devices is a step ahead of you! By placing "unclippable" input peak limiters in the signal path, the MixPre is watching your levels even when you can't be!
