HELLO
A friend of mine who knows I was regarding the SD 302 offer it to me for
chrismas...good
I tested it yesterday, it's perfect for ENG i do in mountain but I have 2
questions.
First about the low cut filter ? It didn't seems to be very
effective....there not setup for lowcut....what do you think about it.
second about power consumption. It seems to be very hangry with power. I
powered it on 3 LR6 for this time but i will do a system that provide more
nrj for a long time. What did you use to do? (np 1 is to heavy ) Perhaps
sony lithium cells like for DV cam, Pb batteries...;
I'm waiting for you experience inpowering this mixer
Thanks
Laurent

They are 12 dB/octave filters, maybe you're used to steeper ones?

Since it accepts 5-14V at its external power connector, I'm building a
system to use Sony 7.2V lithium-ion camcorder batteries.

I get 8-12 hours of use from a set of Maha 2000 mAh NiMH batteries--with
one AKG C460B powered by P12, bouncing the meters to normal levels, and
driving a pair of Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones to a moderately loud
volume. There is a 5500 mAh version of the Sony battery available from
most vendors which has roughly 51/2 times the energy storage capacity of
those NiMH AA's and sseveral smaller options as well.
