Battery Power Mode
The SONOSAX SX42 mixer can be battery powered with four alkaline D-cells (LR20) or four
LR20 rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) or Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) accumulators. To
carry on less battery weight, four AA (LR6) batteries can also be used with special size
adaptors.
NOTE: The autonomy of the mixer can drastically change depending on batteries type
(alkaline, NiCd or NiMH) and quality, microphones type and LEDs light intensity.
3.2.1
Opening the battery compartment
The battery compartment is located on the right panel and it can be opened by un-tightening the
screw using a flat screwdriver. Remove the anodized aluminum cover and insert four D-cells
batteries or accumulators with their negative side first.
WARNING:
Never leave discharged batteries in your SX42. To ensure optimal autonomy, use
only professional alkaline D-cells. Also check the manufacture date of the D-cells
for best performances.
