Unicorn Films offers the Sound Devices MixPre-10 II, a compact flagship mixer/recorder/interface for professional location sound. Its eight discrete Class‑A Kashmir mic preamps deliver ultra‑low noise and up to 76dB of gain, paired with analog limiters and sweepable low‑cut filters for clean, controlled dialogue, music, and effects. Record in 32‑bit float up to 192kHz for extreme headroom and recovery, or choose 16/24‑bit as required by post workflows.
The MixPre‑10 II captures 12 tracks (10 ISOs + L/R) to SD/SDHC/SDXC cards and can auto‑copy to a USB drive for redundant handoff. As a 12‑in/4‑out USB‑C interface, it streams up to 32‑bit float to compatible systems and DAWs, ideal for hybrid bag‑to‑DAW sessions. Flexible routing covers L/R and X1/X2 buses to balanced TA3 and 3.5mm outputs, with three stereo returns for camera/recorder confidence monitoring.
Timecode tools include an internal generator and TC I/O on BNC (switchable to word clock), plus HDMI TC and record triggers for select cameras and LTC over Aux keeping multi‑camera sets in sync. Operate in Basic or Advanced mode, add Ambisonics or MixAssist via plugins, and control from supported USB surfaces or the Wingman app. Power via Hirose DC, the included 8×AA sled, or Sony L‑mount batteries for robust field flexibility.
Rent the MixPre‑10 II from Unicorn Films for pristine preamps, 32‑bit float safety, and production‑ready timecode perfect for film, doc, multi‑talent podcasts, music sessions, and SFX capture.
