@ Chris: I can't say cause most of the other cams were used in a project as B-Roll with no own Audio. About the MixPre-D I can say that it is working. I've used it with several other cameras, like the F55, in the past and it was doing a great job.
@ spacewig: As I've wrote before I'm not an Audio guy. However, the MixPre-D is fine and as Jeroen has the same problems like me it's not the MixPre's fault. Shooting Interviews sound ist massively important so I'd rather buy three Roland R26 a day than having a bad sound quality. Since I want to shoot with the BMCC I'll go two ways till the own BMCC Audio is working properly. About Thomann, the guy who did it is a good friend of mine so never mind possibly wrong service. Despite what you are writing the two PreAmps are working! I've received the JL202 today and combined with the MixPre-D and the BMCC I have great sound results now. So the way it works now is: ME66+K6P to MixPre-D to JuicedLink + BMCC and it is working! To make a point here, this was a test only. I find it to risky to have almost 10 Audio Connections (don't even talk about minijack) for two channels. So what it tells me is that the MixPre-D needs to have a tiny bit more output and everything would be fine...
@Jules: You are right about that. I've heard a lot about different results with different BMCCs while using the same setting and Firmware.
Finally we've found that there is really something wrong with this BMCC too. Ch1 has probably an faulty soldered joint so if you push the plug slightly to da distinctive direction you loose about 15% Audio Gain on Ch1. This doesn't change much about the whole MixPre-D problem since I have the same low input on another BMCC of mine.
