The SD-1 Sound Devices Hirose DC Input Sled from Hawk-Woods features a 1x HRS 4-pin DC input connector for the Sound Devices MixPre-3 and MixPre-6 audio recorder/mixer interface. The adapter slots onto the rear of the mixer just like the Sound Devices original battery sled. It clicks into place to ensure a secure connection, and can be used to power the mixers from an external powering device. The input range is 10 to 20V input.

I purchased this for my mix pre 6 and it initialy worked great. The second time i used it, my mix pre 6 wouldn't power on and i could smell burning solder. Luckily it didn't damage the mix pre 6, and the battery and leads tested ok. Unfortunately the MixPWR is fried.
I use this with a MixPre-3 and a hirose-to-d-tap cable. Works as expected. Its awesome to be able to power the MixPre off camera battery. Would buy again. Only suggestion I have is that if you do use this to power your MixPre, and if you feed a signal back into your camera (i.e. not just record to the MixPre, but also send a scratch track signal from the MixPre to the camera), then you will want to get a ground loop isolator to put in your signal chain. Otherwise the in-camera scratch track will have interference noise. (The internal MixPre recording remains pristine.)
Works great to power mixpre-6 with Sound Devices XL-WPH3 cable or Hirose to D-tap cable off a gold mount. Enjoy the slim profile of the Hawk-woods vs similar models.
