LUNATEC V2 specifications

With a standard pair of 48V condenser microphones the V2 draws roughly .48A. In our lab we have tested the V2 with an ECO-CHARGE Beta 6V 7.2A/h battery system. The V2 shuts down automatically after 13+ hours with a pair of Countryman Isomax II microphones. Note that this represents a complete discharge of a new and completely charged battery and if used in this fashion repeatedly the battery would degrade rapidly. 10 hours would be a conservative estimate.. A simple formula to determine useful battery life in hours is Hours= C ÷ .7 where C is the capacity of the battery in Amp-Hours. We have set the LOW BATTERY threshold so that the LED begins flashing after about 8 hours of run time (or about 5 hours before shutdown) to encourage the user to avoid deep discharges. However, no two batteries have the exact same discharge characteristics so the low battery threshold may represent different levels of reserve for different batteries.

The V2 can be set at the factory to run at 6 or 12V. The current drain is the same at either voltage but the total power consumption will be twice as high for the 12V system. Also, it is normal for a 12Volt V2 to run warm to the touch.

In addition to the front panel controls, the Lunatec V2 has several options that can be selected with internal jumpers. Before making any changes to the internal jumpers always disconnect any power source from the V2, switch both +48 switches to the on position and wait for 1 minute before removing the top cover. This is to assure that all power has been discharged from the capacitors used in the power supply circuit. Refer to Figure 3 on page 6 for jumper locations for preamplifiers with serial number #V054 and below. Refer to figure 4 for preamplifiers with serial number #V055 and above.

STEREO-MS MODE The V2 operates in a standard 2 channel stereo mode as well as MS or Mid-Side mode. Jumpers J7 and J17 select the mode.

HIGH PASS FILTERS J5 and J6 select the filter slope for CH1. J18 and J19 select the filter slope for CH 2. J9 and J10 select the frequency range for CH 1. J15 and J20 select the frequency range for CH 2.
