Sound Devices MixPre Custom Glow Pots Color-Coded Knobs 32 Colors for 3/6/10/II

Description

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:
- Top part has thick glow-in-the-dark part for easy viewing on dark sets and studios
- Bottom part is in the color you choose and the color 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
You choose the colors you want. There are so many color choices available (we add more regularly) so you can be sure to be able to match your existing color scheme.
Each knob purchase includes two knobs of the same color, one is reversed for use on the top row of the MixPre 10 series only.
Choose the color you want from the item picker at the top of the page. Select
quantity and add to cart. Then repeat for the other colors you want.
We also offer two kit options:
8-Color Set (most popular option - has substantial discount)
Includes 8 pairs of knobs in these colors:
- Fire Engine Red
- Subdued Yellow
- Medium Blue
- Kelly Green
- Fluorescent Orange
- Lavender
- Dark Grey
- Pure White
All-Color Master Kit (for professional sound engineers - available upon request)
Includes a pair of each of the colors available (currently a total of 32 colors and 64 knobs), two headphone encoder sleeves and a set of 8 custom XLR input caps.
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. You can find them here.
2. Transfer rubber o-ring to new knob and press into place. 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. 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 suggest a small keychain UV LED light - readily available here.
Once charged, the top of the knob will glow for a little while, long enough for a take or long set.
