Batteries
The MP-1 is designed to operate on two AA alkaline cells for approximately 26 hours with typical sig-
nals (without phantom power). The audio performance of the MP-1 does not vary throughout the life of
the batteries.
Many factors affect battery life including—battery chemistry, ambient temperature of operation, phan-
tom voltage, microphone current draw, and output drive level. The chart below can be used as a starting
point to estimate battery life. Experimentation is recommended to determine battery life for each indi-
vidual setup. Note: Nickel-Cadmium batteries are not recommended in the MP-1 since these batteries
have lower energy per cell than other types and will result in very short service.
