hello
my mixpre 10 !! is it so noisy when it's at maximum volume?
Hi Julio. Any input that does not have an audio source connected will make plenty of self noise if the preamp gain is turned-up. It typically sounds like a massive waterfall. Please see this article for more information: https://www.sounddevices.com/microphone-preamp-noise/

If I use two extra mics, and plug them into the mini inputs, is there a way to control the input level on those extra mics? I see only 8 input controls on the face of the unit.
The Mix-Pre-10 II has a single 3.5mm menu-selectable input that can be used for microphones with plug-in power, as an unbalanced line level stereo aux input, or for timecode. This aux input can be assigned as an input source for any of the channels which will allow you to use the level control for that channel to control the mic. The other 3.5mm connection next to that is a headphone output.

What bitdepth/sample rate can it record to SD if it's being used as an audio interface, say for livestreaming?
The MixPre-10 II can record at 32-bit float when connected to the computer as an interface. However, the sample rate depends on the capability of the computer and/or the software hosting the interface.

Is it best practice to turn off phantom power before turning off the device in beginner mode? Thank you for your time.
You do not have to turn off the phantom power before turning on the MixPre-10 II. It is advisable that you do not have the phantom power turned on when only using dynamic mics, or battery powered mics, as it will consume more battery power from the recorder unnecessarily.
