302 SOUND DEVICE MIXER
CODE: 302 SDM
DESCRIPTION:
302 SOUND DEVICE MIXER
DESCRIPTION DETAILS:
The high performance of the 302 is especially apparent in its ability to handle very low frequencies. According to Jon Tatooles of Sound Devices, the 302's balanced transformers are the major reason, providing the necessary isolation from the source. In the 302 and in the lower-cost MixPre unit (see the sidebar), input signals are transformed magnetically; there is no direct electrical connection as is typically the case in cheaper mixers. For the shooter working in uncontrolled locations, an adequate low-frequency response is the key to capturing realistic, high-quality audio.VVVV
