These mics are new to me, so this might be normal, but when I plug the CMIT into its 48v power supply, I hear what can best be described as an electronic fart noise. I haven't done a lot of testing, but I think it does it with both mics. Anyone?

Hey, A while ago I thought I saw a post on this forum for a new wireless company. I think they were from England. They stuff looked alot like audioltd in shape and design. I can't for the life of me find the post where I saw this. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Thanks, joe

To all those with past experiences with the original HERO, you probably roll your eyes at the thought of using them, I apologise if this thread has already been created, but I would love some feedback on the GoPro HERO2's 3.5mm audio input, i'm hopeful at the prospect. Thanks guys. Matt http://gopro.com/hd-hero2-cameras/

Hi guys. How would i go about creating sound reports on the 744t, i dont currently own the cl1 as i think its incredibly overpriced for just recorder control. I assume that you can aleo edit metadata and add notes for later export with wave agent. Is this correct? I dont want to buy it and find out i cant do that. Also any workflow suggestions will be appreciated. Its my second feature, first with proper gear...

What do you think of them? Even if Roland might not be the first company to produce a binaural microphone headphones, it is probably one of the most user friendly package that can be attached to the new Roland R26 or their previous ones (R 09...). Of course I imagine that they are very sensitive to wind noise, and not for every day shoot but low profile (I would not like to carry a dummy head all day long with me) + monitoring at the same may give interesting sonic options...

Hi guys. I'm a sound engineer from Sweden and this is my first thread in the forum. A really great forum with amazing information from you all! Good work Jeff! I'm about to buy a 9v charger and AA charger for my TX and RXs. I have heard many good things about the IPower for 9v and PowerX for AAs. The PowerX is available in Europe but the IPower isn't. Is it possible to change the power chord if you but it from US? regards Benny

Has anyone had there MBHO mics serviced on this side of the pond ? In Canada would be great, or anywhere in North America would also be helpful. If so, contact info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I just loaded up my new Petrol 601 with my 3 211 block 27 units and my 788T and I am greeted by some serve RF spray. The Scan with 788T powered on is same whether it is powered from common power source (BDS Box) or the 788T is powered from internal battery all 3 of my 211 block 27 units show similar scans as well. I didn't think the 788T had any RF spray and hadn't experienced any with same set up in my larger Petrol PEGZ-2 bag Any thoughts?

Hey Everyone, I have been trying to find an affordable solution for monitors for my new flightcase cart. I am curious as to what most people here use? I have been thinking about something like these. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/766059-REG/Blackmagic_Design_HDL_SMTVDUO_SmartView_Duo_Rackmountable_Dual.html I mean I'm not to worried about the quality of the video as long as I can see the frame and the action (im not pulling focus on these things!). What are some of your thoughts on must haves for soundcart video monitors? Tuner? 16:9? SDI input? I appreciate the input! -Chase

Been looking at the Cinela line of mic mounts lately. I noticed a fundamental change in the engineering, as they are NOW using rubber mounts, and not the metal rings from before. A bit on the expensive side, and I only know of one place to buy these, and they have to be ordered. They are on nether the Coffey Site, or ProSound sites, but yet I've seen them in use more than a few times by a few people I admire. Are they worth it? Any opinions? -Richard

At the moment I'm looking at pricing up some packages for quite a long term international documentary job covering events in North and South America (Florida and Sao Paulo look likely), Europe (France, and at least one other) and Asia (possibly China and Japan). Ideally we're looking at buying rather than renting. Because of the uncertainty of locations I'm wondering whether I'll have to use a wide band wireless system or not (I think the only options are Wisycom and Sennheiser 3000 / 5000). I'd ideally like to use a Zaxcom system as a camera hop to reduce the number of transmitters/receivers, but this may not be feasible as I'll be restricted to one …

Hey All, This is directed more towards Larry. And Yes I did try sending him a private message. I phoned Lectrosonics in canada and the factory. I just bought a used D4r and D4t. I thought a few months ago it was discussed that new antennas would be coming out soon? No one I talked to seemed to know what I was talking about. They said there are no new antennas. I'd like to know what is going on because I really hate those antennas.

Hey All, Having an issue with poweing up my Fusion. Everything was working fine, but then all of a sudden the internal NP1 stopped working at all, though I can still power through the external power input. Is this a problem that any of you have come across? Its after hours, so I'll try Zaxcom tomorrow, but If there's anything I should try, I'd love to hear it. E.

I've got a hang-up about mechanisms that are over-lubricated, or unnecessarily lubricated. Oil and grease is messy and can be problematic with gear like this. I have some Ambient Quickloks, and they're a double whammy: mine are both saturated with thin oil that keeps migrating out and overly packed with what appears to be white lithium grease. It was my intention to dismantle them, thoroughly clean them, and then reassemble with minimal or (pending an experiment) no lubrication. However, I didn't get very far... I removed the set screw that is used to damage any 3/8-16 stud. Er, I mean secure the Quicklok onto a boom pole or other item. With that removed, the …

I have a shoot coming up this wendesday using the Red EPIC. I was wondering if people have had experience with these cameras yet? Any thing I need to watch out for? According to the red website the epic has for audio: 2 channel, uncompressed, 24 bit, 48KHz. Optional 4 channel, and AES / EBU digital audio. I can't seem to find a user manual for download, so I haven't been able to figure out what the input connectors are. From looking at the 360 degree view on the website, it looks like the audio inputs are 1/8" trs connectors, is that true? They also say "mic input", so does this camera have line level inputs? How about the AES inputs? I don't see them …

Hey folks, Some time back, I made the mistake of purchasing a pair of Lectrosonic LMa/UCR 100's. I wasn't happy with the sound, and rarely took them out. Now, as I'm gearing up for this film, I'm wondering if I can make some kind of Comtek system out of them for my clients. Could that work? Rachel

I still work with this camera pretty regularly, and now that I've added some Zaxcom hops to my arsenal, I'm trying to figure out a good way to mount the receiver. Anyone discovered any good tricks? I have some BEC boxes w/plates for regular broadcast type cameras. And I've managed to velcro some of the G2 camera shoe plates to them - but of course, this won't work if they are using the hot shoe for anything. -Greg-

For anyone who has a Rode Lav, they are now coming out with a rode vampire clip. These may also work better than the sanken vampire clips and could maybe be used with sanken's that are similar in size. I have attached the images. Im going to call around and see when the date they are projecting for them to be released. http://rodemic.com/accessories/vampire_clip Also rode has a new website.

I'm looking to add a mic to my kit that I will use primarily for sit down interviews. I plan on renting/demoing a few this week for a number of interview shoots in mostly quiet and controlled environments. I plan on auditioning a Schoeps MK41, but would like other suggestions as well. I know this has been discussed before, but I had trouble finding the threads. Thanks. Marc
