Sound Devices MixPre Custom Glow Pots Color-Coded Knobs 12 Colors for 3/6/10/II
These are custom replacement knobs for all models of the Sound Devices MixPre line. They will work on the 1st and 2nd generation of the MixPre 3 / 6 / 10. They will not work on any other Sound Devices models. The knobs are custom-designed by us and produced using the best materials available. These knobs are only sold by Bioluminous and not available anywhere else.
We created these knobs to have several features:
- Bottom part has thick glow-in-the-dark part for easy viewing on dark sets and studios
- Top part is in color and is viewable from all angles
- Knob is sculpted to make it easy to adjust based on feel without looking
- Top has embedded stainless steel screw to allow for easy one-finger adjustment
Kit includes 12 different color knobs, hex key and a keychain UV lamp for charging the glow.
Installation is very easy:
1. Remove your existing knobs using a pair of pliers with thick tape wrapped around the jaws to protect knob (factory knobs are sometimes tight). We recommend purchasing the Engineer PZ-55 Screw Grip Pliers which are superior pliers that we have been using daily for many years.
2. Transfer rubber o-ring to new knob and put knob into place. Press down slightly while gently tightening the set screw (one on each side). The o-ring serves two functions: to seal against moisture and debris from entering and to provide the knob with some turning resistance. If the knob turns too easily, you can press harder to engage the o-ring more tightly and/or clean the rubber o-ring with alcohol. Make sure the o-ring has not slipped into the socket.
3. You can remove and replace these knobs as many times as you want. They are made of a resiliant plastic that can take lots of use without degrading. And they will not deform under heated conditions that would ruin many other typical aftermarket knobs.
4. The glow-in-the-dark feature works by charging the knob with a bright or UV lamp. We supply a small keychain UV LED light. Once charged, the top of the knob will glow for a little while, long enough for a take or long set.
