My apologies because this is likely a simple question but I'm very new to this: The following piece of equipment was damaged on set: Micron Transmitter (TX501, 211.0 MHz, 50Mw) The receiver that I have (that is not damaged) is as follows: Micron Receiver MDR 550 (range 198 MHz to 216 MHz) Do I have to replace it with the EXACT frequency of transmitter or can it be one that falls within that frequency range? Thank you so much for any advice/help! It is much appreciated!

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

I recently bought some secondhand Countryman EWM lavalieres and was hoping to re-terminate them to fit a Sennheiser G3. I received them today and am a little puzzled as to how to do this exactly. There is a huge preamp looking thing on the end which is essentially housed in the XLR. Having only worked with Sennheiser ME2s and DPAs I have never seen this before and am wondering where to take it from here.. Any advice would be great. https://goo.gl/photos/mdJ71CtwY77Zajy27

I was wondering if you do a stereo line cable for a XFR300 and input audio on one channel and timecode on the other, can it accept both or you have to select either?

With a properly wired cable for line input into the Lectro TX the TX cannot be attenuated enough to make it useable. The 302was set to factory default line output and the cable was wired as per Lectro with the line source feeding pin 5 on the TA5. A call to Lectro tech support came up with a solution of adding a 10k ohm resistor in series with the positive feed which dropped the "0" level of .775vac to .395vac from the 302which should be fine. Lectro tech thinks it's an impedence mismatch between the 302 & the 400a causing the problem. Anyone ever had the same type of issue with a 302 & a UM400a? Thanks, Eric

Does anybody have the Neutricon pinout for the Betabox? It's the Ravencourt/Essential Audio/Audio Developments pinout for the Neutricon, not the PSC as I understand they are different. If anybody can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks, John Perkin

[edited for clarity] Hi Guys, I am getting no love from the manufacturer or the distributor of the microphone, so I am forced to ask here. Has anyone successfully terminated an OST TL40 for Wisycom systems? My best guess would be to wire it for the "2 wire + bias" setting on the wisycom Tx, however I'm suffering a little bit of a mental block over the supply voltage available. The manufacturers spec lists the nominal supply voltage for the TL40 as 1.2volts, the wisy's offer 5.5volts - should I be looking to wire in a resistor or will the mic operate happily with a 5.5v supply? There is no maximum supply voltage offered by the OST on their website and they were…

If I have a Sanken wired for Lectro with the 1k resister and then use it in a hardwired system with a Ta5f to XLR adapter would I hace to apply more gain than if it were wired for XLR? Thanks

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…

So I recently bought a second hand 416T and have noticed it seems to have a more self noise than I expected as well as not having as much gain as I expected. Not knowing if this is just a common 416 sound I recently got to compare it to another 416T and it is noticeably different. I pulled the capsules out and the 416T I bought second hand has a KS16 cap and the other one has a KS15. I am now thinking that my mic has had a replacement capsule put in but wanted to know if the KS16 cap is 48v? Just trying not to fry any of the components. James

My trusty (about 15 year old) 416 went scratchy today, intermittently crackling with multiple cables. I had opened it once before so I was curious to take a look and found that one of the two resistors on the input stage had badly corroded (see pic). Sharing this for others, perhaps for my own memory, and to take the comments of those wiser than me: fire away. Notes on opening: -Remove the C-clip from inside the XLR jack with a pair of needle nose tweezers or tiny screwdrivers, while this actually wasn't necessary in this case it's worth noting. -Turn the flathead set screw on the exterior and remove it -Remove the top outer case, the XLR jack assembly…
