^I dare say you are further in than anyone, likely having recorded more shows with this recorder than anyone on the planet!

Recorded using my OCM R44 three times this last week.  Hadn't done so in a while and had almost forgotten how much I love this easy to use, great sounding machine as a recorder.  For years I've been using it primarily for raw playback of 4 channel stuff I recorded using Tascam DR2d.

Long live the R-44!

Amen! I’m also a big fan of the R-44 w/ Doug Oade’s Concert Mod. Was only able to get to two shows last week but, like usual, my R-44 performed like a champ!  :bigsmile:

After a long hiatus, I'm back on the train.   My R44 was powered by the old 9V DVD batteries that are no longer trustworthy.  Sounds like the TalentCell batteries are the best option.   This still the right model for us tapers?

^^ I used that to power the R-44 and an Aerco MP2 together.  Worked great, tons of juice.  Obviously need a cable with reverse polarity on the R44 side.

I used one of their lower models to run a DR680 and 4 mics, power meter at 4 out of five lights at the end of the night.  That one should do the trick.


Not that much cheaper but half the size so easier to *cough* manage in certain circumstances:

Yep. That's the one I use to power R44 and my other non hand-held gear these days (DR-680, F8, V3).  Will run the R-44 on its own longer than you'll likely need, but nice to have the extra capacity, for external preamp if you want, charge phone if you want, or if only to not over-discharge the battery overly far to maximize its life.

You can probably get along fine with one of the smaller Talentcells which are half the thickness of that one for typical concerts. I've not used those but they are about the same size as the old DVD batteries if that fits better in your bag (although turned 90 degrees as the ports, meter and power switch are on the short side of the Talentcell vs the long side of the DVD battery.
