I have never quite felt the need to use waterproof transmitters (such as the Lectro MM400) until today. When the lead actress dropped her G3 Tx. In the toilet. (It's dead now)

I'm about to purchase a 788t w/ CL 8, but wondering if anyone had suggestions on what specific in/out cables to get and where I can get them at a decent price... I've looked through the usual suspect's sites, but just curious to know of anyone's suggestions.

We just got the formal written lab reports on the CE tests for the UCR411a receiver and the units passed all tests. Since this is a receiver and not a transmitter, we don't have to wait 30 days or so for approval from each country's regulatory body before taking orders. Best, Larry F Lectro

Hey, Does anyone know of a 48.048 AD interface? I looked at JoeCo, Motu, Apogee, etc. but can't seem to find one that'll do the needed sample rate. It's to go into a DEVA's digital inputs. Thanks, Tyler

I'm using a 788t outputting to a Lectro UM400a for the IFB send and then R1a receivers. I have tried both the line output from the #3 out on the 788 using a TA3 to TA5 cable. I also tried an 1/8" to TA5 cable using outputs 5/6. The mix sounds clean and clear on the 788 side of things but the IFB receivers sound like crap. They are extrmely muddy, murky, and almost unintellible. Any ideas why this is? Anything I can check out? www.matthewfreed.com Production Sound Mixing for TV, Films, and Commercials

I had to send a unit back to lectrosonics today to get looked at and was a bit surprised at the flat rate cost associated with it. Of course it is what it is and I'm shipping it back, but I wanted to ask for future reference are there any 3rd party repair shops out there any of you deal with that are worth mentioning? Guys you trust? Guys with decent rates? Of course if the costs are similar I'd rather just deal with lectro but thought it might be at least worth discussing.

Here's a link to the Audioroot cLINK 2.4Ghz camera hop: http://www.audioroot.fr/audioroot-wireless-audio-camera-link-product-42.html I'm not sure of the various attempts to use the 2.4Ghz as the frequencies for a camera hop because of all the 'other' types of kit trying to use these frequencies including the 2.4Ghz video senders that would be sitting a few inches away! Apart from that I think it looks fantastic! Wil

I read a few time ago here on the forum that powering the ifb unit with separate source prevents that eeeeee noise in receivers in the bag. Now, how do you guys manage it? Another NP-1 sled ? Looking at NP-F style batteries which are smaller (thus lighter) with a battsled from Lectro would fit the bill except these batts give 7.2 volts and the ifb unit needs 8 to 18 volts to work... Some use a 9v batt shoe by any chance ? Any suggestion welcomed, as a confirmation that doing so, I'll be able to raise the power output from my IFB100 without noise problems. (of course, I know about Txs and Rxs proximity issue in a bag)

Anyone done it, can I do it myself? I'm contemplating fitting SRUNI to my SR receivers to make it easier when I want to use them as a hop, and then use Bluecows adaptors when I use them in the bag. So before I take the bottom off one to have a look, can anyone tell me if it's a simple task?

hi, I have a job coming up with 14 wireless, I will be renting the wireless so I'm not 100% sure of the blocks yet, but in the interim I'm wondering the best way to plan out the frequencies for the wireless so I have a plan of attack during the set up . I need 2 usable freqs per unit. Advice or tips welcome. Thanks James

Hi there, I have a Micron transmitter (TX700B) with a 6 pin 'lemo' mic input. I would like to turn it into the wireless connection between my 416 mic and my bag and therefore need it to power the 416 with 48v. If anyone knows how i might go about building such a cable, any advise would be much appreciated. I know the cable can be bought but im feeling a little sick at the cost and anyway, it would be cool to build it myself. Many thanks in advance, Doug

Hi All, I need some help with the outputs on my 552 please I had a cable built to feed from the tape out on the 552 ( TA3M ) to a Comtek 1/8 mini stereo plug with a mono output. This cable works fine no problems with the tape out. Now I would like to feed a 2nd Comtek with a feed for a boom op. I was thinking of using a direct out. So I tried the TAM3 L and R outputs and a direct output with the same cable It only works when I insert the cable half way and then cuts out when the connector locks into the 552 Looking at the connector pin assignments I see the only difference in tape out and L and R outputs is pin 3= float ( no connect ) Is th…

Hello, I want to bought a multitrack unit for wildtrack recording with a Soundfield SPS200. I have three contenders: Nomad, SD 788T and AETA 4Minx. Looking the manuals, the AETA and the SD will work with Soundfield microphones, both have the possibility of link 4 channel gain and have monitor decode for Soundfield format. Can the Nomad do this? (I can't found the Nomad manual). Thanks!

Here are the circumstances: I have several Lectros in block 24 as well as camera hops in Block 26. I want to re-freq a Zaxcom TRX900 & RX900 set into a legal block. I could also upgrade the receiver to stereo at the same time if that'll be useful. As I'm considering my upgrade avenue, here are some useage possibilities: I may use this Zax wireless on the cart along with the Block 24 Lectros. I may use this Zax wireless in the bag along with Block 24 Lectros and Block 26 camera links. I may use this Zax wireless in the bag as a camera link along with the Block 24 lectros. My inclination is to re-freq the Zax to Block 22. Block 21 is usab…

I would love to find a hard case in which I could store my Petrol/788/CL8/4xSRa bag. Something like a pelican but can't find one. Something like a large lunch box. Any ideas? Pascal

the challenge, easily control levels of tracks 7+. i've got a job starting tomorrow where i've got 6 talent and boom. they need iso's while mixing hop to camera. my first solution was to stick a mic pre in my bag and run into my return 1/2 for tracks 7/8. luckily i had a few ta5 cables made so i could work with those ta5 connectors: ta5f to female 1/8"(camera return), ta5f to dual xlrf and ta5f to ta3f. so i had some options of to ways to get into those additional channels. but then i remembered i had an emergency that I had in my 302 kit, which has ta3m connectors. so for those of us who are looking for some sort of POT/fader for the additional channels t…

Just came across these- they look useful for IFB duties / camera hop and they're cheap! http://www.creative.com/emu/products/product.aspx?pid=18609 Only drawback I can see is the internal battery. The white shiny aspect may comfort directors/producers as it's similar to apple products... Anyone used them?

I just got my new van back () from Third Coast Vans (an Austin aftermarket place) just now and I'm really happy with how it turned out. As I didn't need all that cargo space and wanted to be able to tote my family around (and other folk) safely. I had them wall off the front half and put a removable bench with safety belts. They insulated and carpeted the interior (including the sliding door) and it's a lot quieter up front now. The wall is heavy plywood that I can hang stuff off of in the back. They added floor and wall hooks so there's plenty of ratchet spots. There's enough room for my carts and space on the walls for c-stands, etc. There's also plenty of l…

I need to confirm my order tomorrow for shipment and I am torn between ordering the 6 and 8. I already own a TRX900 with STA150 that records 2 track mixes I send to camera and I also own 2xTRX900LTH transmitters with their own iso records. Will having the 8 benefit me further or is having the ability to have isos on the 6 inputs enough? Open to ideas I haven't thought through yet! Thanks gang! Chris

I'm on set now with several Lectro UCR401 receivers, all being powered by the wall wart adapter in a power strip. When I cycle power for the cart(leaving all the power switches on the 401's in the "on" position), all receivers except one come back just fine. The one problem child powers back up with a black screen, but seems to function properly. Is this a sign that something is wrong with the receiver? As of now it is purely "cosmetic" and is fixed by cycling the power switch on the unit itself, but is this the start of something worse? I haven't called lectro yet, I wanted to check here first... Best, -Travis (P.S. not sure why the pic uploaded…
