Question for the board: I supply 12V power to the DR-680 using a Naztech PB15000. According to the DR-680 owner's manual, "If power is available from both batteries and the AC adaptor, the power is supplied by the AC adaptor." If I stock the unit with 8 AA batteries and also use the Naztech to provide 12V power, and the Naztech runs out of power, will the internal AA's automatically kick in and power the unit? Or do I need to change a value/flip a switch to force the unit to use the internal AA batteries?
Though I don't foresee an issue with the Naztech, I am a little concerned about its battery life. I will be running two sets of condensers and providing 48V Phantom power to each (and recording at 24/96) for the upcoming Dead & Co. show in St. Louis. The last thing I want is to run out of juice mid-show.
Any input and guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Chris.
