I tried my 5 year old Sennheiser ME62 at 24/192 and you are right.
I just have never thought of using the ME62 at a sample rate greater
than 44.1 on the battery. Whenever I use a sample rate greater than
Message: 44.
Subject: 1 I have always just used 48volt phantom power. The problem does
not occur if you are using 48 volts and turn the switch on the mic.
Here is a 130KB download photo that shows the ME-62 being powered by
the battery with a sample rate of 192kb.
