About Cable Techniques MX-POWERSLED

For audio professionals seeking a reliable power solution for their Sound Devices MixPre series portable recorders, the MX-POWERSLED External DC Power Adapter is the ideal choice. This "Battery Eliminator" is compatible with a range of models including the MixPre-3 II, MixPre-6 II, MixPre-3, MixPre-3M, MixPre-6, and MixPre-6M, offering versatility and convenience.

The MX-POWERSLED is equipped with a Hirose 4-pin connector, ensuring a secure connection for your recording equipment. It accepts a DC input range of 9-24V, making it compatible with high-capacity rechargeable batteries such as NP-1 or Smart Batteries. This feature provides your recorder with a consistent, regulated power supply, eliminating the need for USB power or AA batteries.

Designed to save both time and money, the MX-POWERSLED removes the necessity of using the recorder's AA Sled in the field. This allows for more efficient use of your equipment and reduces the frequency of battery replacements.

Furthermore, the MX-POWERSLED enables seamless integration of a MixPre Series recorder into a Bag Rig. This setup, combined with wireless receivers and powered by a single rechargeable battery, creates a portable DC Distribution system. This system simplifies your audio recording setup and enhances mobility.

In addition, the Hirose 4-pin connection not only provides a secure connection but also offers a variety of cabling options. This ensures that the MX-POWERSLED External DC Power Adapter can adapt to your specific needs and preferences.

In summary, the MX-POWERSLED is more than just a power adapter. It's a comprehensive power solution designed to streamline your audio recording process, enhance the longevity of your equipment, and optimize your overall audio recording experience.
