USB Audio Interface
The MixPre-10M has an integrated 12-in, 4-out core audio-compatible interface 
for use with a Mac or PC computer. 
For PC users, the MixPre-10M will appear as a 2x2 audio interface unless 
a specic ASIO driver is installed. The latest ASIO driver, along with install 
instructions, is available for free at www.sounddevices.com/support/downloads. 
See the MixPre-10M’s Downloads page.
To work with the USB audio from a host computer, it is necessary to route the 
USB 1 - 4 sources appropriately. Should you want to mix the USB audio from 
the host computer with live audio from the MixPre-10M’s inputs to the LR bus, 
use the channel screen and select input source. 
The MixPre-10M is capable of recording and streaming audio to a USB host 
simultaneously. The MixPre-10M is also capable of recording the USB audio 
stream out of a computer directly to its SD recorder. This is an amazingly useful 
feature for recording any computer-based audio. See the table below detailing 
the MixPre-10M’s channel to output assignments.
