Hey everyone, Does anyone know if the Soundbag Dashboard rack mount panel will accomodate Lectro SRb5P receivers with the extra 5 pin output connector attached to the front panel? I have tried getting in touch with Soundbag Dashboards, but haven't managed to receive a reply to my query.

Hey guys, recently picked up a 702. Just for doing some live music recording. Does anyone have any suggestions on live mics for this unit for live sound? I have messed with a couple of condensers and I get a ton of background noise. Maybe its the settings, maybe its the miss? just a little help with this unit would be appreciated. Thanks!

I don't know anything about these decks so I'm asking the group. A friend of mine just did a gig with a borrowed Deva II, and she is having a strange thing happen. She has burned a number of 4GB partitions onto 4.7GB DVD-RAM discs. Each one took hours, but when she takes a look at each disc it appears only 2GB was actually burned, and the rest of the files were just left off the discs. Anyone have any thing like this happen to them? Any ideas how she can get a full 4GB partition onto a DVD-RAM? Dan Izen

Hi. I am wondering about the use of digital out with the 822, as the unit has no word clock sync input (unlike the AESOUT plates for SR series). How would I use two or more 822 with a single recorder? I can set the sync reference of the recorder to AES In 1-2, but then the second input might be out of sync.

I am headed to Ft Bliss, Texas in a few weeks and the US Military has asked me for my "body armour size, helmet size and shoe size" Does anyone have any experiences wearing body armour and a small EFP kit? (Petrol 302, 2 RF's, Zax-hop with the lightweight PB harness) Just looking for any "gotchas"

Hello, Does anybody use MTP40s and MPR52 as a camera hop and is it any good? What kind of cable do you need to go from the xlr output of a recorder to the MTP40S, does it need to be paded? I am used to the lectrosonics hop with Srb and I used the paded cable from remote audio to the feed some old UM400a and the results was great. I do not see a lot of cable specific to wysicom, there is a remoteaudio cable XLR to lemo paded for zaxcom transmitter, will it work with the wysicom?

Card test.

Hi everyone, first topic here. I searched a bit before posting so hopefully this isn't a redundant topic. I was a bit paranoid with media since I'm reading a lot of media problem and myself having a problem with a 552 before, upon a bit of searching there's a way to check whether your card is original or a fake copy. Use this tool http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/H2testw.shtml Unfortunately it's Windows-only, hopefully someone else can suggest a mac alternative. If your card is original, when you verify the test - it will come up with 0 errors. Hope this helps you get a peace of mind when buying new cards. Good day, …

Hi everyone, Kind of an urgent issue because I have a shoot tomorrow morning, and I’m hopeful that this is simple user error as I’m still relatively new to lectros. I rented out a 4 channel system earlier today. 4 smdwb transmitters. 2 sra dual receivers. The pilot tone light is blinking on both SRA’s, all 4 channels. They don’t see the transmitters at all. I’ve tried scanning thru smart tune, I’ve tried it manually. They are set to the same frequency, by hand and IR sync. I’ve verified the transmitters and receivers are both set to NU HYBR compatibility mode. I’ve turned off the pilot tone to get static in on the SRa’s and…

What would be the best way to rinse (or not to) a country man B3 that fell down into sea water. Do I have to rinse it with the cap on it or without? The best way to dry it? Do you guys think that the B3 can handle multiple fall into salted water?

This is one of my Tram TR50s that's decided to go mental. The fault is intermittent. The mic is plugged into a Lectro SMQV that I know works just fine (all the other Trams are ok). I wonder if anyone here has heard a similar problem and if they could advise if they think the microphone is toast, or if it may be a problem in the connector? It doesn't appear to be a bad connection. The fault is also intermittent - this was recorded after it had been left alone for several months. The microphone is only 18 months old, so I'm going to push for a replacement. The recording contains some handling noise, in case it isn't apparent, it's the continuous (but variable i…

Hi All, This could wait until tomorrow when Lectro is open, but would love to get it sorted out tonight if possible. I have two venues, one is a rental and one is my personal, both 21-29. I installed version 5.2 firmware on the rental venue successfully. I then installed it on mine. It installs successfully but when I detect receivers, the venue claims that there are none detected when indeed I have four VRTs installed. The rental detected all VRTs installed just fine. I am using the vrwb v5_2.hex update file. One difference is on the startup. The rental's startup says VR Receiver Version 5.2 Wideband Mid. My personal venue does not say Wideband Mid. Am I…

Anybody uses the Ambient ALL601 to stamp a TC on Canon D50 (or same) cameras ? Is it a good choice? Any suggestion for a masterclock unit that would be as small as can be (bag use) ? Glenn (Zaxcom) , any hint about a possible unit (or IFB100 implementation maybe) that would eventually be released to do the job ? That would be nice to use, along with the ERX1TCD on cam (very small factor)...
