Hello! I'm not satisfied with the range of my zaxcom wireless system (4 TRX900LT and 2 qrx100 in a soundbag, without micplexer), so I'm thinking about upgrading my TRX900LT to LTH version. Has anybody done any comparison between LT and LTH? Is there any noticiable inprovement in terms of range? Thanks! Piero.

Ok.. I am just curious.. and I think I know the answer.... http://www.mackie.com/products/mcupro/ will this do anything if connected to either a Zax recorder or an SD one? Other than deplete your wallet and take up space on your cart, that is... If anyone tries it, let me know...

Hello soundies. Just sold my 744t. Now i find myself recorderless. Before i jump on the nomad bandwagon i m curious to see if sd got a new mixer in plans and when could i expect a release? I know it s probably pretty far but it s too much of an important buy to not consider. I d rather stick with sd if they could release something 6 trackish with only flash memory. (basically a sd nomad...). I just like how solid and trusty my sd experience has been so far. Any input is appreciated thx. Dominique

Hey Guys, I just got a Zaxcom IFB100, it's my first Zaxcom wireless unit. I have a lot of lectro wireless. I did go searching around on Zaxcom's website and couldn't find what I need. First, what type of connector is used for powering the unit? And does anyone know where I can find a manual? I don't think I missed it on the website.

Just had a request for speaker for the video village "that might need to be run off batteries" Got AC unit for the inside setup so looking for suggestions for the mobile battery powered world. I would prefer to not go down the AC powered inverter road (unless there are no other suitable options). As this will be used for live monitoring a don't want anything that will tempt the listeners to pump up the volume. Thx

Do you use frequency scanners to find the best Comtek frequency, on tech scouts etc? Which models? I'm wondering for picking a Comtek frequency as well checking the RF situation on my wireless mics. For Comteks, in my area, I am good 99% of the time, but every so often I get terrible interference after a company move. Not a big deal, but it would be nice to know before we land on that location. It would also help maximize range to use the clearest frequency option, even if they *seem* to work fine on setup. For my Lectros, I usually carry bag receivers on tech scouts and scan just to make sure there are no surprises specific to that location (oh, is that a milit…

I just found out that the COS-11D Lav I ordered from B&H (Here) for my Lectro LMa transmitter is a RM version (9dB Attenuated). Apparently all pre-built mics from Sanken are RM versions. I seem to be getting good levels, but will I regret not having that 9dB down the road? Has anyone had any issues either way?

Hey Everyone, I have a job coming up where I have to mount a Lectro SR onto a RED cam for a wireless feed. I know some of you are using the D4 with the Red. How are you mounting it? I looked and there is no good spot to place it that won't cover a connector or be in the camera op's way. I looked at the BEC Group's website to see if they made a metal bracket of some sort that might work, but to no avail. Just wondering if you all knew of someone that made a wireless holder for this purpose. It looks like I could maybe use a ROWI clamp but interfacing the thread on the clamp with the wireless is the trick. Does anyone just thread directly into the holes o…

I just received a new windcover for a Cub 01 to beta test. This product is being made by Bubblebee. I believe it will be imported through Plus 24 the Sanken importer. Met the Bubblebee gang, Poul and Kathrine at NAB this year, they stopped by the RAMPS party at the end and I have stayed in touch with them. The cover has a elastic band to hold it on the Cub and it also has a small red dot stitched in the front so you know which way the mic is pointing. The band seems very tight so it is not going to fall off. It is smaller than the factory windscreen and seems to offer much more wind protection than the factory windscreen. I have not put it through the works…

Apologies if this has been discussed before, had a search and couldn't find anything. I like the look of the Zax ZFR100/200 for an alternative to radio mic'ing. Is there anything else out there that i can plug a cos-11 or B3/6 into? Without a power adaptor that's the same size as the recorder? Timecode would be nice but not a deal breaker.

After 6 weeks of watching my beautiful Deneke TS3 EL crash to the floor/sidewalk/road/puddle. Being glared at by the 1st AD when I need to change batteries in it. After 6 weeks of watching my two ACL 203's have their expensive cables yanked/plugged in the wrong BNC ports/complained about by the DOP's for adding weight. Double and triple checking my 788 display with the slate and the camera timecode with the complete and utter disinterest of the entire camera department. With the minimal rental fee for these 3 items, the mental energy wasted managing batteries and damage control for what is truly a known problem. The problem being that we have stable timecode an…

Hi, I'm building a cart and need some power distribution. Thinking in maximum flexibility and weight control, I thought of using a DBSv4u as the power distributor. I'm using a Fusion, mix 8 and Oktopack. All running, consumes 3Ah far less than the 5Ah maximum power that the unit can handle. Any thoughts on the Idea?

It seems as though this problem applies to all body worn transmitters (in my case I am using the Lectrosonics 400UM's)- that the body blocks RF. I try to put the transmitter on the side of the body as a general rule so the receiver can "see" the antenna. However as we all know, putting it on the side is not always possible so it either goes in the front pocket (better but visually seldom acceptable unless the wearer has baggy trousers) or on a belt/ trousers or skirt in the small of the back (not so good). This is where I pick up problems. Obviously in close proximity that is never an issue but I do a lot of "walk and talk" interviews so there is often distance involved…

Started a new show in a few weeks that will have the Zaxcom being worn in a waist pouch by camera op. I am just curious what everyone is using.

probably not a necessity for most production work but if there was ever a need to get the antennae higher than a readily portable mast would allow, how about 1 of these: http://www.helikites.com/ I have no link with the company. I am not endorsing the product. YAMV (your altitude may vary ;-). atb, dan.

Ran across this product while shopping for cat5 cable. It's a set of four channels of cat5 rolled up into one easy to wrap cable, targeted at, you guessed it, remote production/multi-media solutions. $3/ft makes it a bit pricey, but perhaps convenience wins over price here. Gepco CTS4504HDX

Anyone who uses this mount for broadcast cameras ? I'm trying to figure out if it's better to use this kit (which comes with all the windjamming gear) or the Lyre with CCA which seems more simple (less parts to assemble or to lose) but hasn't got all the wind protection in the kit. Any pictures of your setup ? I'd like to mount a KMR81 on a Sony 800 cam. There is pictures of all the parts on the Rycote website but I can't find one with the CC mount in use with the RUCK kit; trying to guess which part I'd have to use; all the hardware or just a few parts....? RUCK: http://www.rycote.com/products/universal_camera_kit/ Lyre mount + CCA: http://www.ryc…
