I've never actually seen a set of these running in the field - what are the powering options? The Schoeps literature says "12V car battery," is that really what the folks running them for e.g. Phish were using?
A related question, but maybe for the mic forum - any downside to getting the DC unit as opposed to the AC? From what I can tell the DC unit does come with an AC adapter, and at most of the shows I run I have access to AC. There appears to be a difference in the output levels and amplification stages tho.The ouput would be going into either a 744T or V3, so I could take either mic or line level. Thanks.
