I've got a Stellavox AMI-48 up for grab in mint condition. Tested and working and knobs been fixed so no crackling when turning them. All lights work and its been used by my dads friend 6 si gle times in its lifetime. Its been shelved for decades until i found it and got it from him for free. I have only started it and tested it and only improvement i did was leaving it at a vintage synth repairmsn who cleaned it overall and also inside so the knobs nolonger makes the crackling sound. Even the plastic cover which is original is almost mint condition. Anyone in here intrested? (Better sell it to an enthusiast than average joe on ebay)

Hi, The Lectrosonics SR9VBP battery pack seems like a clever backup system for use with devices that use SONY L series 7.2vDC batteries. Does it just place two 9vDC batteries in parallel for or is there some sort of regulation? Thank you.

Hi All, Was watching a review video for the Sound Devices Mix-Pre 10T whereby it was suggested that this recorder might pair well with a console style mixing board with linear faders, leaving the Mix-Pre to function strictly as a recorder. What board might be a good candidate for this function? Since the 10T has limited outputs (4?) would monitoring select record enabled tracks from the board mixer present problems? Have the 10T coming and curious about maxing its potential. Thanks kindly for your thoughts - as always, very much appreciated. Cheers and Happy 2018, Dave

I have created a handle for the Denecke Time Code Slates. This TC Slate Handle was designed to add additional support and ease of operation of the Denecke Time Code Slate. A better grip means less dropped slates ! This handle is manufactured in the USA and is made of machined aluminum. It is light weight only 2.6 ounces. This Time Code Slate Handle does not damage the sticks. It neatly installs under the sticks using the existing two left screws. Installation is 5 minutes !!

Got some new DPA Core 4061's. First impressions they sound really good.interesting I was expecting lower noise floor to my legacy 4061's but sounds about the same. overall not a night and day sonic difference but the thing I do hear is on louder stuff the Core versions retain transients and clarity better and obviously don't break up/distort as quickly.that increased 14 db headroom. they're gonna be useful for sure.

Thought I'd share something I'm working on with fellow recordist Matt Morris here in the UK. It's a timecode solution for the Tascam DR10 beltpack recorder which allows accurate syncing of the records internal clock which it uses to stamp its bWAV files.

I'd been curious about the Tascam DR10 mini recorders, they seemed like an interesting cost-effective tool to have on hand as a remote plant-mic recorder, a recorder to be used in parallel with a wireless tx and many other uses I might encounter where a very small digital recorder would be handy. I was able to get ahold of one via some friends overseas, where they are available apparently, although they could only get the "S" version, the one with TRS mini connectors theoretically designed to use with mics connectored for Sennheiser, Shure and AKG wirelesses. I knew from experience that my Lectro-TA5F connectored mics worked fine with Sennheiser G2/3 transmitters via a …

Hi! I have three wireless systems from Audio Limited Envoy series that supports external powering. The thing is that two of the recievers are CXIR and supports power between 7-18 volts, and one MXIR that only supports 7-12 volts. The current draw is 55-150mah from the recievers. I am looking for a solution to externally power all the three from one battery. I have looked at some NP style 11.1 volt batteries, as well as Li-on batterys such as the Inspired Energy ones. I've also looked at the 14.4 volts NP style batteries, but then I have to step down the 14.4 volts to 12 in a way that still makes the battery happy. Have looked into some RC NiMH pack…

In my bag I have an SRc in band A and 2 block 21 SRb's. If I wanted to run everything through an RF distro like the PSC RF MULTI SMA, which sized whips could be used for best performance for all blocks involved? (470, 19, 20, 21) Thanks, Ben Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Hey. Do any other manufacturers make a tie clip that fits the Sanken Cos-11 (other fits would be bonus) and is possibly less expensive than the OEM version? Would it be *that* hard to design a single, "universal" clip that works with all the popular lavs? cheers Adam

Hey guys, Seeing all the announcements of new sync boxes... Having the pleasure to give this little and I mean "TINY" sync box a go from Mozegear.. Basically the size of a 9v... This version has a 4hr internal rechargeable battery with 4 pin hirose for power.. Same accurate clock as the TIG and Q28.. Running with Sony F55's and ZERO issues on sync... Steadycam guys love it! I know they are cooking up a few other things and hope they will have more to say at NAB.. Wish I could go... Pretty sure it also can do Lemo instead of BNC....

Yesterday I found some interesting equipment authorizations on the FCC web site. They were granted in the last two weeks, and the information in the filings matches wideband versions of the SM transmitter, with references to both single (SMWB) and dual battery (SMDWB) packages. FCC ID search here: https://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid of particular interest were FCC IDs: DBZSMWBA1 DBZSMWBB1 DBZSMWBB2 DBZSMWBC1

I was just playing with my Sound Devices 633 and I noticed there seems to be something loose moving inside the chassis of the machine. At first I thought it was the AA batteries but I removed them and noticed it still happens. It seems to be coming from the underside of the machine and when I hold it and rotate it I can feel the slight vibration of the moving object inside. Can anyone give suggestions about the cause of this? The 663 seems to be working well otherwise but I just got it so I haven’t used it extensively yet. On the video below you can clearly hear the sound as I rotate it.

I am out in the field and discovered one of my sanken d's wired for zaxcom lemos works with newer lectro trx's as intended but does not work with my lectro ssm. But my other sankens as well as countrymans and others do. I also recall this being the same issue with my older trx900-123's where some sankens worked and some didnt - will be testing as soon as i get home next week. I wired all of these myself and to the best of my knowledge i followed most recent recommendations here on jw. Is there some universal wiring i missed here on jw for sankens that is known to work across new zax/old zax/new lectro lemo transmitters? -Ken

Day 4 with the Lector Duet IEM and I am happy to report so far so good. Good range, great sound. Not sure how many others are using this system and what they are experiencing, but in Pasadena, a rf active area, it did the job. Boom op is very happy to hear what we are recording. This is what being wireless was missing IMO. Certainly a step up from all the comteks and IFB's I've used. I understand Zax has a good one too. Makes going wireless better for sure. CrewC

Friday night at the local high-school jazz concert, the DI box they were using failed. It was one of the lesser brands, shall we say. I want to buy them a new one or two. But I'm only really familiar with Countryman Type 85 boxes and that familiarity is from a long time ago. I googled around but there's a lot of talk about DIs...yes, I could dig into gearslutz etc but there's LOTS of DI chat there; appropriate for that forum but I'm looking for shorter, though hopefully informed, answers. The high-school program mainly uses DIs out the back of the bass amp, and mainly to feed into the monitoring system. Sometimes with a keyboard if they're outside and not usin…

I just got 2 DPA 4098s with Zaxcom (Low DC) microdot connectors... I was doing extremely basic talking head interview on a sound stage so I put up my CMC641 plugged in to a TRX742 and just to be able to test a 4098 I bongo tied a TRX2.5 with the 4098. The Scheops sounded brilliant as always but the 4098 has a noise floor that in no way is acceptable... This is my first experience with a DPA product. Anyone else's have this issue, specifically with Zax TRX? I will upload a clip when I get a chance.

Hello everyone, i am about to buy a new shotgun. Recently i rented a DPA 4017 mkII with the b-preamp for a short docu shut and liked it very mouch, i want to buy one. Now i have to decide - c-preamp or b-preamp? I gonna use the dpa 4017 in an M/S setup - so less weight is better.... My recorders are SD 744t and 788t - so i could use the lowcut there (as i do if i have to use sennheiser MKH 8050 or 8060 that have a very boomy lowend too...) At the specs it seems like the preamp in the c-version even provides better dynamic range and less noisefloor... So for real field use - do i have to have the b - preamp? Thanx for sharing your ex…

Hi Everyone, I am a sound mixer in LA that is relatively new to the game. I've mostly been doing bag work for low to moderate budget projects, and am looking at adding some Comteks to my package, but I could use a little guidance on what systems to invest in. Here are my questions: - What is the difference between the 72 transmitter/receivers and the 216 models? - Are there any legal FCC related concerns? - What is Option 7? - What models would you advise that I purchase for a first set? Used or new? Here are some details about my needs: I do a wide variety of work: Documentary, narrative, and commercials. Primarily, I need one or t…

Hi, first post and happy to be here. I need some advice. I've got a live event coming up which needs recording. It's hosted in a relatively small/ medium sized room with around 60 guests and 3 speakers with a Q&A. I planned to work in the bag with 3 wisycom kits and two hand held mics which are sennheiser G3 body pack type TX And RX I've used the same rig before a few times. The wisycom in channel 38 have always been rock solid where as the G3 kit has been a bit crap really. Firstly scanning for a free frequency, one of the the G3 receivers actually recommends that I use the same frequency the other G3 RX is on! I do…

Hello all! My recently purchased used MKH 40 just did the strangest thing last week and again today, this modulating high pitch noise appeared depending on mic position and angle. Today the problem went away after a couple of minutes, but it may come back anytime. Anyone experienced simiar issues with a MKH mic? Thank you for your input MKH40_noise.wav
