Ran some battery tests on the nbox platinum with rechargeable 9 volts and got 38.5 hours so far. The test is still going.

Still going at 55 hours.

That means @ 3.5 hrs per show I couldn't even do 16 full shows without having to change a battery.  I think I need to keep looking.  ;D

I'm assuming mics and recorder are hooked up, so the box is under load?  Have you checked the recorded waveform?  Not sure if this might happen with the NBox, but some small, portable preamps I've used in the past have produced low amplitude and sometimes distorted waveforms as the batteries continue to deliver power but at lower and lower voltage.

I have it hooked up and sending signal to a recorder Tascam 70D and M10 when the Tascam battery dies. I am monitoring it with good head phones. I will check the wave form when I am done testing.  I am only testing the batteries

I speak from experience, when the original nBox was used, and the rechargables die, they go quick and the waveform goes out quick. I have a JPG of it, but I cant find it off hand.

Over 100 hours. No other pre amp gave us over 100 hours on three 9 volts.

Does the Platinum only take 3 batteries??  The old Nbox needs 4
