MixPre-6 II : Great Quality - Great User Interface

It's small, the material quality feels sturdy and made for if it gets busy and hectic on set. With a proper V-Mount battery and a boom mic that always requires phantom power you get super long battery life.

With the recorder being small the touch screen and knobs are as well, you have to get used to that a little bit.

I think a good interface for a fast workflow is super important when it gets busy and this device excels at that. Having those 4 mic pre combo inputs at real 32bit conversion at that price is amazing.

That being said if you want to use a v-mount battery you need to buy the v-mount holder extra. It's quality is bad and it is extremely overpriced in my opinion, but since this is the review of the recorder itself it still gets 5 stars from me. Just be warned.
