Topic: Remote power for Sonosax sx-m2d2

[Big Perm]

So, I just ordered one of these last night and they are shipping out today. The 18650 option to power is very attractive, but 3hrs is not going to cut it. I know I can swamp at set break or between bands etc, but Im wondering about just running a small external battery and not worrying about anything. Anybody got some experience with this pre that can chime in?

i use the hirose connection and a naztech 15000 or my omni charge battery. you can also power this using the usbc  connection . A usbc battery connection and a usbc to usbc cable will work as well . The device comes with a usbc to usba cable and that should work as well . There are no other cables that come with it so you will have to make or source them .Ted here on T.S can make them for you . love this box . i have used it with an iphone and also line in to my zoom f8n also aes into my old sd 744t . all outstanding . Have fun and stay safe hopefully we can get back to spreading the love around again.

Thank you sir! Ted is making a bunch of cables for me for this pre, I will as one of these took the list! I have several Naztech batteries. I would imagine they will run this thing forever

sci hog farm was the week before redrocks and just got bumped to september
summercamp was just three weeks before red rocks and got moved awhile ago

have to think it will be soon, but RR is usually booked 12+ months in advance. other than the 6/26 weekend right after, the next open 3 day slot is 10/1-3 and 10/8-10

some of the early concerts that got rescheduled are in mid october. i wonder if they blocked out one of those first 2 weekends in oct

Big Perm have you been able to run your M2D2 using a Naztech or did you opt for a different external battery?  If you aren't using a Naztech what did you go with?  It's time to dig my M2D2 out of the closet...

I’m going to run it for the first time Labor Day Weekend in Colorado for Phish. The plan is to just use the usbc to power it. The battery I use for my 788 has usb out and I ran a test the other night and everything seemed to be working fine. Someone let me know if there’s a better option.

Make sure you run it with a battery in it . Sonosax says that a battery needs to be in it so that all settings work properly . I usually put in a fully charged battery in it and use an external battery just for the backup and so all functions work properly. have fun with it , great little box and world class pre's.

Yes sir that’s the plan! 
It looks like it’s charging the battery while in use. I’m excited to give this thing a spin

What battery are you using to run your 788?  I like the idea of using it for the 788 and the M2D2!
