Better AA solution for Marantz pmd 620

(1/4) > >>

MakersMarc:
Ran my Oade wmod for th first time last night. Two hours and I'm down to one bar. I know the obvious solution is to run my m10 when time is a concern, but I like the 620 better running mic in from a babynbox.

I am using Duracell 2400 nimh, the green and gold. Is there something longer lasting out there? Anyone have experience with lithium runtimes if that's my only option?

Thanks!

If you have an IKEA nearby these 4pks are a bargain.  You have to purchase them at the store.  IKEA will not ship these to you.  If you buy them online and have them shipped from another supplier the cost doubles...

I typically get between 4-4.5 hours running an Oade modded pmd661 (providing phantom power).  I would think that you would easily exceed that when running a pmd 620.

I use rechargeable Eneloop 2100mAh in mine.

I get 5 hours or more continuously running line in.

I can't do disposable.

Oade warm mod 620 must suck a whole lot more juice running mic in, only got two hours, and I'm running Good batteries cycle them and they are holding juice fine. Also sucks a ton of power on playback which isn't a huge deal. I hate tossing batteries, I got the 620 to avoid tossing A23 batteries using an IPA dammit. Nbox is too big and too metal for big wand shows.

But omg the Oade warm sounds so good to my ears...... :headphones:
