Forgive me if this has already been covered, but could not find in a search. I'm looking to contruct a female xlr > 6 pin lemo for micron cable. Does anybody know how the hot/cold/shield from the starquad xlr female cable terminates onto the 6 pin lemo (for micron-style connectors). I solder xlr cables very frequently but haven't tried soldering lemo connectors before (I gather they can be very fidgety!) but fancy having a go in some down-time. Any tips much appreciated!

Hello all, I have got a question specifically for Zaxcom NeverClip users. In transmitters how well does this really work? I mean really, honestly. I am not evaluating different system, asking which one should I get. I have an unusual shoot coming up, where there will be an attack dog on set almost all the time. This can erupt barking without any warning and get very loud from one moment to the next. Even if I can bring down the gain on my isos just in time, I won't be able to change the transmitters settings in time - even with Zaxnet. Thus hitting the limiter/compressor. If I set tx gain really low all the time, I'll lose S/N on quieter …

Hi all, i know i should h.a.t. and all first but i thought i could see if you guys have had similar experiences? Outta nowhere i cannot access my settings on one of my ( until now?) trusty lectro smqv transmitter anymore (you know while turning on while holding arrow button)? Did that ever happened to you? Is there a setting i m missing? Is that a simple crap happen moment? Thanks in advance for your help! Dominique

Hello, I am trying to understand how are RF power measurements made, how to check that a transmitter has the right RF power output, how to test RF antenna cables insertion loss, etc... I got myself a little gadget that is supposed to measure RF power outputs in dBm and mW. But it is a cheap stuff and I am getting weird results, like higher measure when adding cables... Before I dismiss it completely, I realised I need to actually understand what is it I am supposed to get. So, for those of you RF insiders, what is the correlation between the rate of a transmitter power and what is measurable at the antenna output? in other words, if I have a transmit…

Have just come across an old Soundcraft LM1 mixer that I'd like to dust down and get working properly again. If anyone is familiar with this mixer i'd like to know how to adjust the 1khz tone generator level so it hits 4ppm/0dbu when the master L-R is up to 0. At the moment tone is lining up between 4.5-6PPM when I'm adjusting the needle sensitivity with a tweaker (doesn't go any lower). Thanks in advance!

On my Nomad I want to have 1-8 AES, analog 5&6 and Zaxnet ON. According to the manual I should use setup #13. But with my Nomad (running 7.77) it is missing AES1&2. Only setup with AES 1-8 ON on MY Nomad is #7. But this would be without Zaxnet and no analog IN. Is it my slightly old software? Or just not possible?? Matthias

Hi guys, I'm a long time viewer of the site but haven't posted anything until now. Most of the time any questions I have can be answered by a scan through this site but I want to make sure i'm on the right track with this! I may be doing some work in Taiwan come November and i'm looking at frequencies over there. I have only previously worked in Europe. So far I have only found this - http://www.ncc.gov.tw/english/files/07060/92_070605_1.pdf Am I right in thinking I can use some frequencies of Channel 69 radio mics over there? All my equipment is currently CH38. It also seems I am limited to very low power transmitters- does anyone have any experience with th…

Hi, My general understanding of this phenomenon is that mics equally spaced apart in relation to a sound source, if mixed together, result in a degraded audio signal. For example, here is Audio-Technica's explanation: http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/site/f54c2e7c578b36f7/index.html My questions: 1. If the two mics consist of a lav (1' from actor's mouth) and a directional mic on a boom that moves to 1' (very close miking) would phase cancellation occur? I am assuming it would... 2. If one iso'd such mics, would they also produce cancellation if later mixed or layered in relation to each other? Thanks in advance, Mike

I friend of mine asked if it is possible to recover the programing on an helical video tape from the early 1970"s The tape is a Sony V-32 I see that there are companies that offer this service and was wondering if anyone on JWSound has used any of these services and , if so, how did it go? Is there any company that you would recommend? Thanks, Bob

Hello all This is my first topic. Today I left my Soundcraft Signature 12 to the local audio engineer to be modified to 12volt DC power. I plan to run it through my MeON cart power with 12volt DC on 13Amps. I wrote to Soundcraft and ask them for some schematics about board's power rails. They give me just a simple answer like this one - " Yes, as an analogue mixer with USB functionality, it does indeed require +/-17V (approx), 5V (USB) and 48V (phantom power). regards" So a week later I will have some more info and can tell you more about this. Really hope all this will be s…

I did some simple searches on the site and could not find... What is the original definition of ADR? I've always thought it was down the lines of (pun unintentional) Audio Dialogue Replacement, or Recording. But I just finished watching our fearless governator in the orig TERMINATOR and there was a credit for 'Additional Dialogue' by William Wisher, jr. Is the AD for ADR? Up too late for any goodness, Doug

I have a question about the Aaton Cantar X2, I know a lot of mixers use it so figured would be a good place to ask questions, I have been using the Cantar for a couple months now, and love it. Its a great machine, but very complicated to use. I know its probably not the best recorder to first start out with but I like a challenge. My question is, the mixer faders on the top of the Cantar, do I have to assign the tracks or mics to those faders? Or am I just crazy and they are there for a different reason? And yes I have read the manual but translated from french to english it makes 0 sense. I had to get a friend of mine that speaks french to read the french version…

Hey guys, I'm totally stumped. I got the Remote Audio straight replacement cable since my cans were a bit old and one of the ears had gone out. I'm not the world's best solderer but here's what's now happening. Left channel goes to Left ear (as planned). Left AND Right channels go to Right ear instead of Right channel only. I can't figure out why the Left channel is getting to the right ear, full and clear. I tested with a couple different playback devices using youtube stereo test videos. I also put a stereo song in a DAW. Panned full L, I hear L in both ears, Panned full R, I hear R in Right ear, nothing in L ear. Panned center, I think I'm hearing L…

Hello, Hope everyone here is well, I continue to follow and enjoy the Nagra Stories Thread and wish I could enjoy using my machine which is in for repair. I am writing to ask if anyone could assist me with a copy of the Harvey Warnke flow charts, and diagrams. I have the written manual available online but can't find any technical circuitry diagrams. My X4S had the modification installed in 1995 at Audio Services Corporation. I would be most grateful for any help. Thank you MarkC

Hey guys, I'm pretty good at sound, but not so much at soldering. I have a 5 pin lemo to 1/8" TS (TC OUT) cable I got custom made from one of the usual suspects and I was shocked to find that the only thing keeping the cable from coming apart was the solder itself with no strain relief. Is this normal for a Lemo connector? Needless to say it's in 2 pieces now. To make matters worse, I tried to fix it myself and all the pins are now more or less wired together, solder everywhere. So #1) What's the best way to remove the unwanted solder so I can start over? I've watched videos about solder wick (copper braid) and solder suction devices but can't find them in my local har…
