On the question of power to the MixPre-6 II:
The DC Power supplies 5V. Okay.
The recorder can run from a four battery sled. The batteries can be 1.5V. Used serially, the batteries are 6V one time use or about 5V rechargeable. I have a Li-ion non-rechargeable.
I bought larger Sony L-series batteries so I wouldn’t have to think about batteries on a very long day. The salesman over the phone suggested the Sound Devices XL-B3 and I ordered two with charger. The online documentation for the MixPre says you need to mount two of the large batteries.
Today I got them and each battery is 7.4V 7800mAh. It looks like it will take forever and a day to charge one battery in the puny single battery charger.
Does anyone know if both batteries are required to be mounted in the MixPre sled for proper operation?
If both are required, just how many hours will these batteries last between charges, 600 hours!?
