As a dedicated user of the Sound Devices MixPre 10ii and other Sound Devices audio recorders, having a dependable power solution is essential for seamless, non-stop recording sessions. We’ve stumbled upon a Small Rig battery solution that powers our Mix Pre for hours on end.
Though not the most budget-friendly option, it works wonders for us. One key distinction when powering our Mix Pre 10 is that, unlike the Mix Pre 6, you can’t power the devices using the USB or USB-C port.
However, we purchased a hirose d-tap cable with a hirose connector for the hirose output. Now, all that’s left is attaching the battery pack to the Sound Devices.
The 50W version isn’t as bulky as the 100W, so you might be able to fit everything into a larger audio bag. I haven’t bought one yet, but I’ll keep an eye out and update this post when I do.
