Building a Binaural Headset-mount for DPA 4060 Lavs?
Rick Reineke replied to D Clay Audio's topic in Equipment
Sennheiser made a NB-2 "Headset Adapter" to use with y'own lav mic. I do not know if it is still available. -
+1, Redundancy.

DPA 4055 Kick Drum Microphone for a very high SPL sound recording?
Rick Reineke replied to Masaki Hatsui's topic in Equipment
For high SPL sources, I use a Sennheiser 421, I also have a Shure Beta 91a, but I have never used it on anything other than a kick. The Phantom Powered Beta 91 is a half-cardioid boundary mic. SM57s can handle high SPLs as well. I have a few of them for snare and guitar amps and as a podium/lectern mic. I am sure the DPA 4055 sounds good, It's a little pricey for occasional use and I already have the above. -
Generally, bias current supplied by an XLR Phantom Power adapter/converter/or battery in very low, so a AA cell should last a long, long time. current draw is usually disconnected when it is unplugged. I have TA5 (Lectro) inline XLR power/converter/adapter with a LR44 button cell that lasted for years.. and then some.

btw, I also use AATranslater for an occasion conversion which usually works relatively good.

+11 AAF has always been problematic for me going x-app and platform. OMF worked 90% of the time. The other 10% was pilot error (export) by the video post editor. Unfortunately most NLEs dropped the OMF export option, and convertions to OMF or other compatible format is hit and miss.

AA Battery Eliminator for Sennheiser G3/EW-D SK Transmitter?
Rick Reineke replied to D Clay Audio's topic in Equipment
Correct. Tip= Mic, Ring= Line (though a true +4dB nominal feed is a little to hot for the 100 series SK Tx and will need some external attenuation. -
600 ohms headset to use with Zaxcom recorders?
Rick Reineke replied to Ugarte Sound's topic in Equipment
I had a set of 600 ohm AKG K240 headphones. The HP volume was adequate on my 302 but not on many other devices. I do not know about the Nova or the HP amp specs. -
Cable tester you like? Bonus points for HDMI & USB
Rick Reineke replied to Jim Feeley's topic in Equipment
I built a small simple XLR cable tester about 20 or more years ago with spare parts and a few low cost items from a brick & mortar) Radio Shack (RIP) . If the cable is good , the LED illuminates, if not, it is taken out of service for future repair. It can also test other balanced audio cables with pertinent adapters. It a has a switching transistor, a diode, one or two resistors, a LED and a 9V battery. It is about 2.5 x 2 inches. -

The (made in NJ) OST (Oscar SoundTech) 801/802 lavs are almost identical to the Tram TR50 for $110 (usd). A choice of (soldered on plugs) is another $20-30 as I recall. The flatter response (4mm) TL-40 is the same $. The OST mics I have, had held up as good as most others (all kinds of abuse and weather).

They are mostly an ornamental prop, but word has it most are actually plugged in if needed for some reason. I am not sure if Larry King's iconic RCA 77DX was connected though.

Safe to use Large Condenser studio Mics Outdoors?
Rick Reineke replied to Kevin Sinnott's topic in Equipment
not to go more off-topic but.. "In electronics, a condenser is also term for a capacitor, which stores energy" 'Capacitor microphone' was often used in the audio electronics books I read (years ago). .. -
Cleaning Canare Microphone cables - products and methods
Rick Reineke replied to PCMsoundie's topic in General Discussion
Same here, Otherwise, I've never had any problems with Armorall when applied judiciously. I have a blue Canare that has been in regular use since 1990 even through-out my ENG days. It is slightly faded compared to my newer Canare's but still works. A bent Neutrik X-Series XLR barrel was replaced once though with new boots at both ends.
