  1. The main advantage of using something like a Bowtie vs. a 1/2 wave dipole would likely just be more surface area on the Bowtie. But like it has been stated, getting your antenna up and out of the bag would likely be more effective.
  2. Everything supported is on Sound Devices web site
  3. Walker Texas Ranger (original series), radio DJ talking into an EV RE20 as a side address mic 🤣
  4. I think there’s still enough of a market out there for people using the 788 that would love to have an app for it. I still use mine, I know a few people that do, and I know that abroad lots of folks are using them. But I think you’d have more of a demand for an iOS app than android overall.
  5. Beverly Boy is notorious for being a less than reputable company. I recommend avoiding them at all costs. Google them and you’ll discover some of their other blunders.
  6. When I first bought my 633 my first fader would do that sometimes seemingly unprovoked. Then it just stopped, even without updating the firmware. Hasn’t returned since.
  7. I’ve never used any of their mics before so please excuse my ignorance. But I feel like even though their mics are apparently excellent sounding, it seems like everyone I know that has any of them are always frustrated by having to get them serviced at their headquarters and it taking an unreasonable amount of time. Is this true or is this just the impression that I’m left with by hearing it any time this company is mentioned? If it is then I would guess that a modular system used in the field by a brand known for needing service rather frequently seems like a bad idea. But I’d like someone with more experience to weigh in and set me straight on this matter.
  8. Neumann u87 with no pop guard used as front address mic in a “radio station”. Art dept strikes again!
  9. Airheads! The audiocentric movie that overlooked so much! The entire duration of this movie based in a radio station, the presenter uses an AKG C-414 (with wind support) as a front address mic as opposed to a side address mic.
  10. And yet we see this on all budgets of sets… visuals tend to over ride sound consulting….
  11. Harrow S2E7 looks like a Neumann u87 but is being used as a front address mic instead of a side address mic. Pretty sloppy to have such an expensive mic as a prop!
  12. Unfortunately I don’t have any info on the attachments. I came up with the idea of using the pelican and a friend offered to build it out. They had the parts lying around, and I don’t know what they’re called or where they came from. It is anchored to the hand truck with ratchet straps. I should also note that this particular hand truck can fold into three positions, which makes it handy for loading. In its middle position, it allows you to stack other cases into it which I have found useful for when you have to get from a loading zone to your destination with extra cases. Do note that this setup is actually very heavy, and loading it into your vehicle requires ramps and sometimes help!
  13. I have this same system and a few different bands. I didn’t find anything particularly satisfactory. So I removed the suspension rings and bought some new Rycote lyres and MS grip, and super glued it together. Works great.
  14. I’ve never had this issue. I suggest reaching out to Sound Devices to see if it is an issue that they are aware of.
