A: If you’re using the MX-USBY cable you should plug both USB-A ports (Data & Power) into the same destination to properly power the MixPre.

Q: 8. How important are the 1/4-inch TRS inputs for event / wedding videographers? Is it more flexible when connecting to a DJ soundboard? Can't decide between Mixpre 3 ii or Mixpre 6 ii.

A: Hi Alex. Both 1/4" TRS and XLR connections are very common at such venues when connecting gear to/from mixing panels. The most important question is: How many inputs do you need? If you feel that you may need more than 3 inputs at 1 time, the MixPre-6 II may be a better option. Otherwise, you may need to confirm in advance of the event what cables are required based on DJ equipment, since the MixPre-3 II does not have combination jacks.

Q: 9. I'm a little confused. The mixpre 3 ii has a timecode generator, but you have to keep it on the camera? Can't you just jam timecode to the camera then separate them. My whole reason for picking up the zoom f6 or mixpre 3 ii was to get my sound equipment off my shoulder rig

A: The MixPre-3 II has a timecode generator, so it can maintain timecode on its own. As long as the camera that is being jammed from the MixPre-3 II also has a timecode generator, the 2 devices do not need to be continuously connected. However, if the camera only contains a timecode reader, the camera would require a constant connection to a timecode generator.

Q: 10. Can I bluetooth connect this to a BMPCC? therefore eliminating the need of an external timecode generator?

A: Hi Robin. The MixPre-6 II does not require a timecode generator, as it has one built-in. However, it does not have the capability to accept timecode over Bluetooth.
