Estimated continuous operation time using batteries 48 kHz/32-bit float, 2ch recording to microSDHC card Alkaline batteries: about 8 hours NiMH batteries (1900 mAh): about 8.5 hours Lithium batteries: about 18 hours The values are approximate. (without headphones, PHANTOM off, LCD Backlight off) Alkaline batteries: about 2 hours Continuous battery operation times were determined using in-house testing methods. 48 kHz/32-bit float, 2ch recording to microSDHC card NiMH batteries (1900 mAh): about 3 hoursThey will vary greatly according to use conditions. (headphones into 32 load, PHANTOM at 48 V (5 mA), LCD Backlight off) Lithium batteries: about 7.5 hours
