AD1K run times
tadjblack:
The first run with my ad1k was last night and half way through the second set I runs outta juice. I did a little pre show testing but I figured the 12v 7.5ma battery could take it. What should I expect in run times with this unit?
bush:
Hate to hear about the crash tad.
A car battery is what you need!!, do a little cooking?
+T in hopes you get that baby juiced up before the cheese!!
DaryanLenz:
That battery should have worked for a 3 hour show. It must not have been fully charged! I use tyo run mine on a 12/12, and always could get at least 6 hours out of it. Phantom on decreases the run time, but not by as much as you would be talking about.

Marc Nutter:
The AD-1000 draws about 1500mA peak with the pre-amp and A/D section both operating.
Although the math would suggest more, using a fresh 12v/7.2AmpHour battery, you should get about 4 hours of use.
Happy Recording,
Marc
DaryanLenz:
The one drawback of the ad1k, and I mean ONLY drawback, is it's power consumption. It sucks, but I would run bigger batteries just to be on the safe side...oh yeah, and bring an egg, set it on top, and you have a sweet, freshly cooked dinner for the way home ;)
