did a battery runtime test, with some fully charged nimh left to rest overnight

mics: schoeps cmc1 (2mA draw @ 48V)

wasnt paying super close attention, but it went from 2 bars to 1 bar on the battery meter somewhere between 3:40 and 4:05. zero bars/Low battery indication at 4:50, shutoff at 5:06. so like an hour on last bar and 15 minutes after low batt warning

seems more than adequate to set up and start recording well before the show, and roll straight through setbreak. of course not all P48 mics are that efficient

nice! which batteries and capacity did you use?

$275 refurb on Amazon with 90 day money-back guarantee.

Too many recorders, the socks drawer is overflowing.

I grabbed one for $99 after using my Amazon points.  Figure it's worth trying with my NBox Platinum for non metal detector shows since I will be using XLR cables and my usual way for bringing gear in may be problematic.

As a general practice, I record 96khz but usually master at 48

On a 32 bit recorder? One with no input level control too? Curious?

^ Given dallman's previous posts on the forum, I am pretty sure that was a typo. He is a big fan of 32-bit recording...

Curious, Why not run straight into the F3 for a smaller foot print?
