Is UA-5 @ 6V possible?
« on: June 19, 2003, 06:05:30 PM »
Sorry if this has been discussed already but I couldn't find an answer w/ the search function (both here and at Oade).....

Has anyone tried to power their UA-5 w/ a 6V battery system instead of a 9V or 12V battery sytem?  I figured that since the something like an AD-20 can be powered from 6V to 12V perhaps the Edirol might do so as well.  My guess is probably not since I've not seen any discussion about it but I thought I'd ask anyway.

thanks,
Drew

tried it with 4 brand new lithium AA's (measured 6.2v) for shits and giggles, no go.

Probably with a creative voltage transformer circuit (if I recall correctly from my ham radio test) it could be done, but it's not worth the hassle.

huh huh, you said bridge rectifier, huh huh...

I ran it this weekend w/ a 12V SLA.  It worked OK so I guess I'll stick w/ that for now.  Besides, I've been wanting to get back into weight lifting again....  Thanks for the suggestions.
