Night clubs and auto batteries

[Turbo]

I'm taking my newly acquired M-401 to a gig this weekend. After reading some old threads on the sensitivity of auto batteries, what are some things you do to use these in club environments? I did purchase a case that latches, will this be enough to protect them from draining? I plan on putting the case in my gig bag for extra insurance until I vape.

Next purchase I make will be manuals but I've almost spent my limit this month

BTW, I'm analog free for about a week!

best bet is to keep it disconected untill you want to use it, The base gets them every time, well done on the analog free

Thanks, we had a nice 'green room' away from the stage so I had no trouble w/ the bass but tonight I go to see my brother's band who I know is loud...I will keep it disconnected to protect the atty at least.

Nothing I can think of. The Autos I tired couldn't even withstand my car stereo being turned up a bit loud, much less my drums and my band noise. Even if the atty is disconnected, the battery will still drain. It's kind of pointless if there is constant loud noise.

I'm on the manuals now, which work better imo, and aren't affected by the loud noise.

Strangely enough my autos did great last night, although I'm still going to order some manuals to have on hand..

I'd say leave a spare batt in your car if using autos at a concert.
