You'll find Sound Devices very helpful with any question you have.
Ask Jon Tatooles
The MP-2 is rated to work down to 5V; using a 6V battery is awfully
close to that. You'll be out of power when the battery is only partly
drained. It would be better to power it from a higher-voltage source
like 12V-worth of AA batteries. You'd get longer life and less weight.
