All circuits are 18volt systems, battery life is dependent on the preamp selected. There are three different preamp chips, all have their own characters. The standard chip is a low current op amp that is used in the majority of active circuits on the market. Its main advantage is the battery life, which can last up to 6 months. The midrange chip has a satisfactory battery life, usually around three months or so but has huge improvements in performance, frequency response and clarity. the top spec chip has quite a high current consumption, batteries wil last for around 4-6 weeks, more suited to studio work and digital recording, one of the highest quality preamps available.

Artist models are equipped with the schertler system, other transducer systems can be routed through the Shuker circuit but with their own dedicated volume control and a seperate internal gain to balance the outputs.
