n this video, I walk you through the Sound Devices 833 mixer menu system and show you exactly how to get the most out of this powerful unit. From arming channels, setting levels, and using microphones like the Sanken CSM1 and WYSICOM MCR54, to navigating EQ, compressors, auto-mix, noise suppression, buses, outputs, headphone presets, and more—I cover it all.
I also show some of my favorite features, including channel routing flexibility, daylight mode, timecode jamming, and headphone customization. This video is perfect if you’re upgrading from a MixPre or looking to get comfortable with the 833’s advanced functionality.
