Although not directly related to the MixPre recorders, I decided to do a run time test on my Zoom H6.
With a set of freshly charged 2300 mah NiMh AA batteries, recording 2 channels connected to a pair of Behringer C2 mics with 48V phantom power on, and recording at 16 bit 48K,
I got 7 Hours and 33 mins up to the point of automatic shutdown.
Could you please run the same test at 24 bit 96kHz? Just curious to see if that makes a difference. The MP6 doesn't record at 16 bit.
The specs suggest the MP6 records at both 16 and 24 bit.
I would request that we keep the posts in this thread only about the Sound Devices Mix Pre products. I think battery tests comparing various branded recorders might be useful but in a separate thread to avoid confusion.
