Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Are we able to use 8 iPower rechargeable lipo batteries with this sled?

A: It is not recommended to use rechargeable lithium batteries with a Mixpre series recorder. Sound Device does recommend using 1.5v non-rechargeable lithium batteries, or higher powered NiMH batteries such as B&H # PAKJ17KHCA4A.

Q: 2. Would this work on Zoom f8n or even Mixpre-6II?

A: The Remote Audio ENG Breakaway Cable with Timecode for The Sound Devices 633 has a 5-pin LEMO connector for timecode to accommodate the 633, but the Zoom F8n uses BNC for timecode input/output and MixPre-6 II both uses 3.5mm for timecode.input/output. Other than that, the XLR and 3.5mm connectors on the Remote Audio cable are compatible with both recorders.

Q: 3. Can this product be tuned to 806-809 MHz for use when traveling to Japan?

A: Yes.

Q: 4. Is the lemo TC compatible with the 833?

A: Yes, the LEMO 5-pin timecode connector on the Remote Audio CABETASD633 ENG Breakaway Cable is compatible for use with the Sound Devices 833 Field Recorder.

Q: 5. If you use rechargeable batteries in this, can they be charged overnight by connecting the MixPre3 to a USB port?

A: No you can power the recorder via USB while recording or via the rechargeable AA batteries, however they need to be charged with their own charger outside the recorder.

Q: 6. Is there another version of this cable that has a true stereo RTN?

A: The RTN L+R pins are summed to a single pin as a limitation of the 8pins available in these NeutriCon connectors. To give the Timecode's ground isolation from the XLR audio (to avoid that pesky TC Bleed), they are out of pins. The cable itself has enough wires to accommodate a true stereo return... it crossed my mind to replace the connectors with XLR-10pin, but those are not as easily "breakaway-able". So either way, it's a trade-off.

Q: 7. I would you know this product made by USA? and I live Korea if I will buy this then could you give paper work about FTA contract?

A: Hi, It's a mixer/recorder made in the US. Good product that holds up to daily work

Q: 8. 633 would fit ? even a light bit tight and using right-angle connectors ?

A: The dimensions of the Sound Devices 633 are 2.2 x 9.4 x 5.6". The dimensions of the interior of the CS3 bag: 1.75 x 8.5 x 5.25" Based on these specifications, it would not be compatible.

Q: 9. How many minutes work after charging?

A: I use it for my Sound Devices 633 along with another off brand battery as back ups when my np1 that powers everything goes down and I don't have time to change to a fresh. Both xl series batts last about 4-5 hours just powering the 633 and a boom for phantom power, I don't have them set up to power the receivers or hops. Again that's what I use them for, your mileage may vary if you are using for another purpose.

Q: 10. I have a Sound Devices 788T and want to get a break-away that also sends timecode. This looks like the only one. Will it also work with the 788T? By looking at the picture, I can assume it will--with minor adaptation. 1) I already have TA3 to XLR cables for the mixer outputs and 2) would just have to adapt the 1/8 TRS back to TA3 or XLR and use an input channel to monitor return--or get a switcher box and use the 1/8 straight out. Am I making all the right assumptions here? Safe to buy? :-)

A: Can't see why it wouldn't work the way you've described. You could also have Pro Sound or Gotham Sound in NYC make you a custom end for the 788 for this.
