So I got my first battery box today (for my new AT943 which I also got today too!)
It's from SP with roll off bass feature.
When I'm not using it, do I remove the battery from the unit to conserve energy or does it shut off by itself when I unplug from the jack?
Unplug is fine. The mics complete the circuit when plugged in, break circuit when unplugged.
I would only remove the battery if you plan to leave it for months on end. Then (check) and put in a new battery.
