Hi everyone, I've been tapped for a last minute job and am trying to send AES digital channels from two QRX200s through the XL-AES into my 833. The XL-AES is installed and the expansion port on the 833 is turned on. Each channel allows me to select 1-8 XL-AES inputs. The QRXs have AES digital enabled on 1/2 and 3/4. AES output rate is Normal. AES outputs are set to Normal (split) and each of the two ta5 connectors is plugged into a ta3 on the XL-AES. I'm getting nothing. Test tone from the QRXs appears on none of the selected XL-AES inputs and neither does audio from a transmitter. The 833 is version 6.1. Any help would be hugely appreciated. …

Just read Mark Ulano's article in the Locatiosound corp. newsletter. Wow. What a setup ! If you haven't read it yet, i highly recomend you check it out. He talks about how he has incorporated the Aviom digital snake into his package. The boom oop gets his own cart with 2 venue RX's Comtek TX's and a couple of other things I'm missing. Mark can receive all 16 channels through 1 Cat 5 cable that basicaly costs 15 to 30 cents a foot !! and is nice and small, light and can be bought at any computer or electronics store. He even manages to also get 2 video feeds all through this one cable. Not to mention all the stuff he sends back to the boom ops end. Anyways, I've probably b…

Hi all, Has anyone had any experience shooting with this camera, I have a job on Wed that we are using 2 of them and I got a call from post today to talk about a few things, it does a 24bit audio recording that post would like to use as a master? Any fan issues, this seems like a newer version of the F35 that I have worked with before, it is using the same back panel/controller interface. Anyway, thanks in advance for any help.

Greetings all, All the recent buzz with digital mixers and I'm looking the other direction mainly because there are times where AC is not an option. So, looking at Analog Mixers I have questions about the AD256 / AD146. I've seen in person the AD149 but did not get a chance to listen to it or work with it. Curious why the AD256 is less expensive than the 149? I'm sure both are top notch performers and the 149 has an advantage if you want digital outputs, but is there something in the type of Mic Preamps on the the AD149 that make up the price difference?? Thx

It was bound to happen, losing mic mounts is part of the business and need to get more COS 11 vampires. I was very fond of the Pro Sound mounts for the COS 11 but they’re out of business. LMC dominates the market but these mounts just don’t hold on to body of a COS 11 firmly and curious to see if there is any competitors to LMC. There’s plenty of cases where I go to COS 11 in a vampire and I really don’t like the LMC compared to my original set of Pro Sound mounts. Anyone? Please?

Testing out this sound backpack build. I'm working on a very fast paced, run-and-gun project with up to 3 wires at any time, and they wanted to be as inconspicuous as possible. I put this rig together very quickly using my Orca backpack with a Sound Devices MixPre-6, a QRX100QIFB and a RX200 for 3 wireless channels, a TCS USO feeding timecode to both the MixPre-6 and the QRX100QIFB to send timecode out to the transmitters and timecode and audio to the ERX on camera. Custom molded in-ears come out of the back pack for critical monitoring in noisy environments, as well as a boom cable for the occasional booming. Transport controls and visual level monitoring via Wingman app…

So after calling a dozen or so places today trying to locate the new RF SMA, I struck out. Apparently PSC is waiting on a component that is back ordered from a supplier. Bummer. I was pretty pumped to get my back rigged up with the splitter and a couple of dipoles. Anyone know where there's one for sale?

Hello! I just got my Deity SPD1. When powering it with my 65W Magsafe-USB-C it shows it's only getting 9V, which is not enough for my DADM226. I don't know why it is like that, because the Magsafe is supposed to deliver also 12V or more. Which USB-C power supply do you recommend / use with the Deity? And: Is there a way to set USB-C to first priority power? When I attach USB-C and a smart battery simultaniously it first drains the battery and then switches to USB-C. But what I'd like to do on my cart is using USB-C for wall power but having a battery as a backup if wall power is gone. I can't find any settings on the SPD-1 …

Okay technical wizards. Help me with this... I put a meter on my two pieces of gear I run off AC (Mackie 1642 & RME FF800). When plugged directly into AC at 118v the FF800 by itself metered 21w, 31vA, .26A - The Mackie metered 30w, 38vA, .34A. Together they were 52w, 66vA, .56A. So about 6A @ 12v DC. The watt rating of the units were accurate per manufacturers specs. 20w for the Fireface and 30w for the Mackie. The draw seemed to not be affected in any way by any settings or bandwidth changes in the FF800, and did not vary in any significant way on the Mackie when additional inputs/outputs or p48 or any other functions were used. I then plugged the units i…

Hello, I'm still shopping for a used lectro lav/receiver. With a budget of $500, I see many models but I'm having trouble understanding the differences. Can anyone clarify the numbers between 185 - 195. There seems to be 185, 187, 190, 190B and 195. Thanks!

Hello, all. I'm new to JW, but I've been following the discussions via RSS for a few weeks (creepin'). I'm looking to rent a Nomad 6, 8, or 10 for a one-week short film production in western Virginia in December. I looked around online, but didn't see anything for rent. I emailed Zaxcom support, which quickly responded with Gotham and Pro Sound in NYC. I was hoping for something closer -- possibly in NC? Anyone know of a place that might rent a Nomad in VA, DC, MD, or NC? Apologies if this has been discussed here before -- I searched "nomad rental" and didn't see anything.

Guys and Gals - When mirroring from a Deva 5 and or a Deva 16, does anyone have any experience with SD cards being used in CF adapters ? I had a shoot yesterday with the client handing me an SD card. They did not plan on any sort of data wrangling process and were just taking all the files home on CF cards (pictures) and an SD card (sound) Not a huge problem - but it could have been, if they were any tighter on their flight. I did have to get out the laptop and transfer from my CF card to their SD card. It might have been the very first time I had used the SD slot on my MacBook Pro! Anyway, it just made me think that it might be a good investment to get a…

we have to deal with a cart not optimized with receivers, can many pairs of receiving antennas of different systems,( 2 boosted antenna on wisycom, 2 dipole self made antennas on a lectrosonics venue, others pairs of antenna of several other lectros in other blocks) can in some way affect to each other performance or introduce any other issues? when using many transmitters, we have to deal severely with intermodulation error, but there is some technical issue coming out on receivers? thank you

I wanted to upgrade the talkback mic on my Cooper 106 since the internal one sounds like hot garbage. I figured I'd use the Ext. Slate xlr jack on the side of my mixer to plug in an old lav to use as my mic so I can run it wherever I wanted. Can I just wire it to an XLR male and feed it phantom from the Cooper through the XLR jack? The datasheet from Tram says that the TR-50 supports 48v phantom. If so, does anyone know how I would wire that? I know there are positive and negative bias trams, but I'm not sure if that would affect how it would get wired. Thanks

Hello! I apologize in advance if this is the incorrect sub-forum for this but as you can tell by the name i am a total sound noob. I also apologize in advance if i completely butcher sound terms, words, the meaning of them or just completely make no sense. I am though very good with computer tech and looking at hardware and figuring out how they work/setup. We currently working on a project to setup some SOUND! Woohoooo! So a little backstory, My workplace is currently going through a huge building transition and our new building is currently being built up next door. I work in IT here under my supervisor and neither of us really have much of a sound background …

Just found out that the show Im on is trying to do some hidden camera work on Wednesday, and we wont be able to get close enough to go wireless. Im hoping that someone might know where a rental can be had on such short notice? We'll need 4, with Lavs and MicroSD cards. The production is on it, and will try calling the usual suspects tomorrow, but if any of you might know where I might start the search first thing tomorrow, Id appreciate some advice. Thanks, e.

I notice that Trew now mostly stocks Delkin "Black" SD media, Sound Devices branded media not as much. I see that the Delkin cards are approved for SD recorders, but I'd be interested in knowing if mixers have used these on machines recording a full platter of tracks +extras, and if they are ok. I've been having very good luck with SD-branded media for the past few years, and figure Trew would not sell something they'd get a lot of complaints about, but I wanted to hear some real-world usage stories. Thanks

I just purchased an RME Fireface 400 for use with Boom Recorder. I Plan to use it in situations where the 01V96 is not an option, such as driving shots, etc. I know that it's not quite the same as a mixer, with only the one digital knob, but without the availability of a quality battery powered firewire mixer, this seems the next best high quality option. If you've tried putting an 01V96, or even a mackie onyx and a laptop onto one of those process truck trays, you'll know what I'm saying. I will own a coop or sonosax one of these days!!! Has anyone else used the FF400 in the field like this? What can you report?
