In 2002 Sound Devices changed the output driver of the MixPre to an
active-balanced topology from impedance-balanced to make it more compatible
with some camcorders. According to the old Sound Devices Press release there is
a 6db signal loss when the output is unbalanced. This dos not occur with the
original MixPre. At least initially Shure stuck with the original
configuration, but I don't know if that is still the case. The original
MixPre's and FP24s were identical, then they diverged slightly on this and the
color of some of the LEDs.
