I plan on using a custom power source on my UM4.6K so am curious about this too.
As far as I understand you will need a regulated 12V supply through the 4 pin XLR cable and that should be fine. Obviously keeping the polarity correct through the pins is a must.
I have sourced some 18A/h sealed batteries and am working on connecting them through the XLR DC input. I'll be in the middle of Botswana with no access to electricity save for a portable generator so am looking into alternatives to lugging a whole case of v-mount batteries around. Keeping in mind the 100W/h limitation on commercial flights.
Please don't treat my advice as wisdom, I am just stating my plans and would like to learn more from this thread (among other sources). I haven't tried my plan out yet so I have no proof of concept as of this writing.
