I don't reccomend use of the Denecke PS-1 with Sony consumer DAT
machines. I unwittingly blew up the mic inputs of my D8, I presume by
putting 48 VDC from the output of the PS-1 across in input coupling
capacitor in the D8 that is rated only to a few volts. I did the same
thing to an SBM-1 before I realized what the problem was.

Perhaps there is a sequence of connecting all the devices and
inserting the battery to the PS-1 that would avoid the problem, or
maybe a way to block DC from the PS-1 to the deck (transformer?
coupling capacitors?).

I haven't tried the two channel version, the PS-2, but I'd proceed
with caution. It's too bad, I love the Denecke stuff, built like a
tank and nice in the field. I have their InBox AD-20 also. I just
found that the PS-box wasn't a good mate for my Sony gear.
