Title: AD1K run times
Post by: tadjblack on April 17, 2003, 11:55:04 AM: The first run with my ad1k was last night and half way through the second set I runs outta juice. I did a little pre show testing but I figured the 12v 7.5ma battery could take it. What should I expect in run times with this unit?

I use tyo run mine on a 12/12, and always could get at least 6 hours out of it. Phantom on decreases the run time, but not by as much as you would be talking about.

Although the math would suggest more, using a fresh 12v/7.2AmpHour battery, you should get about 4 hours of use.

Happy Recording,

Marc

It sucks, but I would run bigger batteries just to be on the safe side...oh yeah, and bring an egg, set it on top, and you have a sweet, freshly cooked dinner for the way home ;)

Post by: jlykos on April 21, 2003, 05:50:54 PM: I don't know. I borrowed Ben's AD-1000 with his 12 volt for the Christmas Jam and it lasted me through the entire thing, about 6.5 hours+ of music. I ran it with mics > AD-1000 > D8 so the preamp was in use the entire time. Ben said that he had never tried running it for that long, but it never ran out of juice.
