Tapewheeler I have a ST9100!  I need to turn the gain all the way down on the MTII?  Then just use the pre gains?  I have CA-14 and 9100 that I run open!  Thanks for the help!!

Great!  Yes, you'll have to keep the mt2 gain all the way down with the cable you have and run the 9100 for any gain.  I bought a specially wired cable for my mt2 and still just use the cleaner gain from my 9100.  You should be fine running that way with any moderately loud show.  Do some testing at home, but I think you'll find that you'll have plenty of gain that way for most anything you record, especially running 24 bit and keeping peaks around -12 or so.  I've been happy running my mics>9100>mt2 that way.

Tapewheeler, thanks man I was getting concerned I wasted money on a cable!  I will do some home testing.  Thanks for the help.

mine arrived yesterday - man that thing is quite small and very light!  now awaiting my SP cables so i can run the CA preamp into the TRS inputs.  thanks to all of you who provided so much info (even though i am sorry for the lost recordings for some) over the past few years concerning this recorder - it has been most helpful!

peace,
ts

How much time do you typically get on a full charge for recording through digi-in and for playback on the MT II ?     

Recording the other night, I seemed to get really low after just 2 hours.
Playback is a little more.

I have a battery pack in transit, but it would be good to know in general.

TIA

I won't either. Had a single-AA battery USB adaptor that worked fine, and I was using the MT II as a backup recorder / test. 

Just wondering if I should contact M-Audio and complain since the unit is new.

When I first received mine, gave it a full charge then ran a test at home.  Got somewhere around 5-6 hours.  I suggest doing the same test.  I know that my battery meter display on my mt2 tends to drop quickly so maybe thats the case.

That is how the MT I was rated. The MT II is supposed to last much longer. Should last as long as taperwheeler reports.
