Sound Devices MixPre Firmware Update Available

If you’re using a MixPre audio recorder from Sound Devices, the company released an updated firmware today. Get firmware version 7.15 from the website here.

Update details

As mentioned on the site. The update addresses the following:

  • Last digit of the elapsed record time no longer displays incorrectly when the recording is longer than one hour.

  • Take numbers are now correctly reset to 001 if the take name is changed and the MixPre is power cycled before recording.

  • Loud pop in the headphone monitor no longer occurs when entering playback while monitoring an isolated channel.

  • Rare events where a channel suddenly experiences a brief crackle no longer occur.

I’ve not had any problems with the one I use for work. I love this dadgum thing. The dynamic range on it really helps getting audio dialed in for the show. Even though I’ve not had any issues, I’ll still update the firmware just to be safe.
