Topic: Audix 1290>PS2 power WTF?

[timewasajoke]

i have run my 1290's powered by the Denecke PS2 for a few shows now and after about 10 min of recording the red LED low battery light comes on. I only seem to be able to power the misc for no more than an hour and a half before the power fails altogether. 

Is this normal for this combo? i have tried multiple brands and types of battery and nothing seems to improve my power issue.

Anyone have any suggestions on what compact power supply can get me at least 3 hours of use and without a battery warning light coming on so soon?

Thanks for any help offered. i searched for this topic and could not find anything. if it has been discussed i apologize for the waste of BW but please point me to the thread.

Yeah the Audix's are really power hungry mics, you'll definetly want to get some kind of RC battery pack to run your PS2, search the archive, I'm sure there is info on how to do it yourself.
