* Dropout Notes: I was also running a pair of Schoeps mk5(cardioid, DIN)>Sonosax SX-M2>Mini-Me in the 3/4 channels of the 744T which was expected to be be the better stero pair on my pole. About 32 minutes into the second set I noticed that my 3/4 channels were flat. Quickly seeing that the Mini-Me was dead I checked the battery, which also appeared to be dead. I then attempted to swith the battery on and off twice briefly and nothing happened. At this point I shut the battery off completely and checked the battery meters which showed a near full charge, so I'm thinking WTF happened? I then turned the battery on and flicked on the Mini-Me and everything appeared to be fine. The battery ran for about 5 minutes before shitting the bed again. At this point I was a little perplexed and decided to pull the battery to let it cool down as it was very hot. 5 minutes or so later I plugged in the battery and flicked on the Mini-Me, which again worked fine for about 5 minutes then died. At this point I said "fuck it" as I knew I had the mk21 pair as the packup and all looked fine.
Fast forward to when I got home and noticed the mk21 pair had short dropous on the recording each time the Mini-Me shut off and/or on. The loss of the digital signal on channels 3/4 caused concurrent intermittent dropouts on channels 1/2, which is extremely frustrating. FWIW, the Mini-Me battery was fully charghed when the show started.
