Sound Devices MX-HIROSE Hirose DC Input Sled for Mixer-Recorders

Reliable Power Connection for Your MixPre Recorder

The Sound Devices MX-HIROSE is a specialized Hirose DC input sled designed to power compatible Sound Devices MixPre Series audio recorders. Whether you're working in a controlled studio environment or on location, this accessory offers a secure and efficient power solution. It ensures a stable DC input connection, helping you keep your gear running without relying solely on AA batteries.

Compatible with a Range of MixPre Models

Designed for flexibility, the MX-HIROSE works with multiple Sound Devices product lines, including the original MixPre series, the MixPre-M series, and the MixPre II series. This broad compatibility makes it a convenient power accessory for professionals using different generations of MixPre recorders on set.

Secure Locking Hirose Input for Reliable Use

The Hirose connector features a locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnections. This is critical for field recording applications where a secure, uninterrupted power supply can make or break a take. The Hirose input supports a DC voltage range from 10 to 20 volts, providing ample power to your recorder through external battery systems or power distribution setups.

Simple Attachment with Built-In Release Tab

Most MixPre units accept the MX-HIROSE via a quick and easy release tab. This tool-free installation is ideal for fast-paced production environments. On the MixPre-10 II, a flat-head screwdriver may be required, but the overall process remains straightforward and efficient.

Optimized for Professional Workflows

Sound Devices recommends setting the MixPre’s internal power settings to NiMH when using this DC sled. Additionally, a right-angled Hirose connector is preferred for tight setups or rig-mounted configurations. These optimizations ensure reliable performance and cable management, keeping your setup clean and functional.

Rugged Build for Field Use

Crafted with the same durability standards as other Sound Devices accessories, the MX-HIROSE sled is built to endure the rigors of professional production. Whether it's a hot day in the desert or a damp location shoot, this unit holds up under stress and continues to deliver clean power.
