The V3 takes anywhere between 6-12 V. I use a Tekkeon 3450, and others use a DVD battery that typically outputs 9V.
You need a special DC-in connector, ie., it isn't a typical one that you can use one of the adaptaplugs that come with the batteries. I think tgakidis has some of these plugs and can make you a cable.
The only difference between the 6 and 12 V versions is when the "Low battery" light comes on.
i have been testing sound samples of what seems like thousands of mics/pre/recorder combinations for the past few months, i finally have the $$ and will be pulling the trigger sometime next week on Beyer MC930>V3>DR100
a couple of questions about the V3- is it battery powered? or if not, how is it powered in the field? also what is the difference between the 6 and 12 volt version?
