MixPre II Series as Audio Interfaces for Tablets and Phones
The process described below is for connecting a MixPre II to a mobile device. Function and connectivity will vary based on the mobile app. Not all audio or calling apps allow USB audio. We have tested Zoom and Garageband. The following set-ups have been verified with the MixPre II Series, but may also work for the first generation MixPre Series.
Recommended
| USB from MixPre | MixPre Model | Device Type | Required for Connection | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USB-A | MixPre-3 II, MixPre-6 II, MixPre-10 II | iPhone/iPad |
Lightning to USB-A cable or USB-A to USB-C (for iPads with USB-C) | USB-A can be used as a multichannel audio interface and charger to iPhone/iPad. May not charge all iPad models. MixPre-3 II and MixPre-6 II must not be in low-power mode (i.e. the power icon must be green: powered from L-Mount, USB-C power source, or AA caddy). |
| USB-C | MixPre-3 II, MixPre-6 II, MixPre-10 II | iPad (Models with USB-C Port) | USB-C to USB-C cable | 2-in/2-out audio interface to iPad (models with a USB-C port). iPad Pro will power the MixPre-3 II or -6 II in this configuration. |
| USB-C | MixPre-10 II | iPhone/iPad (Models with Lightning Port) | Apple Camera Kit adapter | 2-in/2-out audio interface to iPhone/iPad. Since this adapter cable has a power input, the iOS device can be charged at the same time. You will need to connect a USB wall charger to the camera kit adapter power input. |
