I have my rechargeables, but don't have a charger yet. How long will some LIon AA's last in this thing? (digi in, 16/44) I may be able to get AC power tonight, but it's nice to have a backup plan.
(P.S.: On a threaded discussion board like this one, there's no need to repeat someone's post when you reply to them; everyone can see all the messages in the thread.)

(digi in, 16/44) I may be able to get AC power tonight, but it's nice to have a backup plan.i tried store-bought AA's and they didnt work for some reason. run it at 24 bit.
why not just record 24/96
i have run 140's, 463's, TL's, and u89's w/ the brick into the 671. i run it about 10 - 12 o'clock. keep in mind this is taping extremely shitty bar pa's. i run the pad simply cause doug said so.
