BAT-01 is a small adapter board that allows you to connect TWO 9 volt batteries to the LHZ preamp. The adapter plugs into the battery input connector of the LHZ, and then two separate battery cables plug into the BAT-01.
The unit ships with an additional battery connector to be used with your existing battery connector.
The BAT-01 can be secured within the cavity using the same 3M VHB tape that we used on the LHZ preamp: just connect the adapter and battery cables, peel off the backing, and press it to a convenient surface and you are good to go!
WHY DO I NEED 18 VOLTS: The LHZ runs equally well at 9volts and 18volts, so the choice to run at 18volts is strictly a personal preference.
- At 9 volts, the LHZ exhibits that classic "Haz" tone when EQ is boosted and the bass is being played aggressively. Peaks are slightly compressed, and the preamp brings out high-frequency harmonic overtones that bring out the articulation of the performance.
- At 18 volts, the LHZ provides a very transparent playing experience. Peaks are not compressed, and harmonic overtones require harder playing to achieve.
In general, 18volt operations is recommended in the following scenarios:
- The performer feels like the LHZ (at 9 volts) is squashing the tone. This is a symptom of a VERY aggressive playing style that continually pushes the LHZ into its non-linear zone. Moving to 18 volts will restore the headroom, and raises the ceiling where harmonic overtones start to occur.
- A more modern and transparent tone is desired. 18volts provides an excellent EQ that complements the bass, but minimizes the signature harmonic overtones.
- The LHZ is paired with the MID-03 midrange control. The MID-03 is a VERY dynamic control (a little boost goes a LONG ways!) and it's fairly easy to overdrive when the system is running at 9 volts, the EQ is boosted, and the performance is moderately aggressive.
