Good solid music then a complete drop of amplification is the only way I can describe it.
There is also a second of two of static a few seconds after the "power" returns.
This happened twice in a recording I made last night and I trying to determine the cause if possible.
Fresh batteries in the M10 & the Tinybox was fully charged.
Nothing was jarred during recording and no other notable problems occurred except for this as the 40 & 120 minute marks.
Checked set up afterwards and all connection are tight. The M10 of course was already unhooked though.

Thanks for any thoughts.

If the tiny was set on mid gain, I'd guess this is a switch failure as the gain change is exactly one step (15dB). You should probably return the box for switch replacement.
Jon,
Actually I was on the low setting as I was very close to the speakers. Levels were peaking just under -12
M10 was set at 8
Should I still send it in to be checked?
Thanks,
Michael

Does sound like it could be one of the switches on the M10 getting bumped. I tape down the gain switch so it stays in manual and one or two other switches which I never want to change. Those are easy to move going in and out of a pocket. The gain wheel has never given me trouble.
Any chance that could be it?

The M10 was locked down and not touched or moved for the entire performance.
I have since found a few other spots that the same thing happened. Some are smaller in length then the sample.
I will try my back-up M10 & hope that solves it.

Michael...how are you? Glad to see you're out taping again.
I can't listen or view your sample at work. If you lose signal completely, then maybe it's a card read/buffering error.
Is your card almost full with other music?
Have you re-formatted your card lately?
Is your card a slow card?
Do it have any bad sectors?
Do other cards exhibit the same issue in this M10?

That sounds to me like the effect you get in the rear speakers of a Hafler Quadraphonic system.
That could be caused by a bad connection on the common ground of the feed between the Tinybox and the M10. Have you tried a different link cable ?.
It could also be a cracked soldered joint on the output socket of the Tinybox, the line in connector of the M10, or a worn connector that has become a little loose.
Try gently moving the cable near to the connectors while making a test recording, and see if you can reproduce the fault. You should be able to hear the change in level if you monitor on headphones plugged into the M10.
