Hawk-Woods SD-1 Hirose DC Input Sled for MixPre-3 and MixPre-6

The Hawk-Woods SD-1 lets a Sound Devices MixPre-3 or MixPre-6 run from an external power source, taking DC in through a Hirose 4-pin connector in place of the recorder’s battery sled.

It slots onto the back of the recorder just like the original Sound Devices battery sled and clicks into place for a secure connection. It accepts an input from 10 to 20 V.
