We find this excellent machine often not very affordable prices, this includes but pro quality and features are here! Very practical, lightweight, very well designed, very intuitive menus, robust, and gives everything a soundman needs. I even used without mixer, direct! A nice little feature among his arsenal is his record on CF and at the same time send a camera or another analog and / or digital, handy for picture editors and mixers. Not to mention the security .... Least, it is the battery consumption ... At very low temperatures, I saw 10 'max to use stereo jack 48v power supply on the way! (8 LR6 good quality). Otherwise count 4 hours of battery supplied with two microphones, so it is better to go into the menus to limit the duration of the backlight by exemple.Et not take rechargeable batteries! stack = normal 1.5VX 8 = 12v! A rechargeable 9.6v = 8 = 1.2VX! Yeah and we understand why! Or (my config for example), find a battery (Li-Po 11.2V 3s, 4500mA) is a car battery RC) and just adapt the connectivity alim.externe HD-P. The battery is "scratched" in the P-HD and I take it off when I want! Result 8 hours of sound recording and the LCD batt has not moved! Look into the brand specification for its functionality. The HD-P2 has a cousin with more autonomy, less expensive and just as good, close to a function, the MARANTZ PMD670-671!
