Sound Devices MX-LM1 L-Mount Battery Sled for Mixer/Recorders

Reliable Power Solution for Field Recordings

The Sound Devices MX-LM1 is a compact battery sled engineered to support a single Sony L-mount battery, providing portable and efficient power to your Sound Devices MixPre recorder. Designed for professionals working in the field or on location, this sled ensures your recording gear stays powered during demanding shoots, without relying solely on wall outlets or bulkier solutions.

Compatible with Multiple MixPre Series Recorders

The MX-LM1 is built for flexibility and works seamlessly across multiple Sound Devices product lines. Whether you use the original MixPre series, the MixPre-M models, or the newer MixPre II recorders, this L-mount sled integrates easily with your workflow. For MixPre-10 II users, a flathead screwdriver is needed for removal, while other units allow simple tool-free release via built-in tabs.

Secure Battery Fit with Durable Design

Crafted to endure the rigors of production environments, the sled features a sturdy battery housing that maintains a reliable connection throughout your session. This ensures uninterrupted power delivery even when mounted on mobile rigs or during fast-paced on-location use.

Streamlined Setup and Easy Transport

With a low-profile form factor, the MX-LM1 does not add bulk to your recorder, making it ideal for mobile recording rigs and compact bag setups. The design allows users to easily swap batteries in the field, reducing downtime between takes or location moves.

Essential for Extended Shoots and Redundancy

Using a Sony L-mount battery allows for long operational time, and the MX-LM1 is a great option when used alongside other power accessories like Hirose DC or AA sleds. It’s a perfect backup or primary power choice for sound mixers, field recordists, and audio engineers who value reliability.

Compatibility and Operation Tips

Before attaching the sled, ensure your recorder’s power source setting is configured to match the battery type being used. Sound Devices recommends checking system settings to optimize performance and prevent unexpected shutdowns.
