Q: 1. I'm youtuber I make Videos at home studio. I use rode ntg-3 with zoom h6 is it worth to upgrade from zoom h6 will it be Noticeable change in quality? I work on 23bit 48khz WAVE files in control ed enviroment so I think there want be diffrence in 24 or 32bits, but are the preamps worth to upgrade or something else?

A: The 32-bit recording does make a noticeable difference in the audio quality and as others have already mentioned, it is near impossible to have any problems with clipping on the tracks. The Sound Devices preamps are excellent and many customers do consider the MixPre series recorders to be a worthy upgrade from the Zoom H6.

Q: 2. If Recording directly from the mixpre to my camera (a7iii), will the 32bit sound be baked into the SD card of the camera along with the footage, or will the 16bit rate of the internal preamps of my camera take over? Assuming my volume level on the camera is turned down to 1 (minimal)

A: Your better quality 32 bit audio would be on the recorder only. Going into the mic input on your camera from the recorder would not give you the same audio quality as what you get from the recorder.

A: Hello Michael. Generally, if you connect a battery to a device via USB-C, the battery and the device to which it is connected will negotiate the maximum voltage. The MixPre-3 II only uses 5-volts via USB-C. It will not negotiate to the higher available voltages.

A: The MixPre II can either be a "master" and send/jam timecode to the Tentacle Sync ("slave"), or the Tentacle Sync can act as "master" and jam the MixPre II ("slave"). If you are using the MixPre II as a master, simply set the MixPre II TC Mode to Free Run. If you are using the Tentacle Sync as the master, please set the MixPre II TC Mode to AUX IN 1 or AUX IN 2. Please refer to the Tentacle Sync manual to determine how to set this device to send and/or receive timecode, depending on your preference of using it as a "master" or "slave."
