The AD3 offers convenient power options. Switch between power levels (2/10/35 mW, region dependent). Select between three phantom power options (+12V, +48V, and Off). Use the included pair of AA batteries, or opt for the compatible SB900B lithium-ion rechargeable batteries (sold separately). If using the optional SB900B, you can enjoy up to 8 hours of continuous operation along with precision metering and zero memory effect. The AD3’s USB-C port allows you to power and charge the transmitter externally.
