  1. Being used Sonosax RX4+ for TV Drama with eight wireless, no issues or limit channel / track; it's 16 tracks recorder. Have used 788T last summer as well, no issues. That "things" being build to last, not being refrigerators. 😁

  2. I am trying to remain positive, but pretty sure some things will be change - as they changed over the years since of the first take with audible spoken dialogue.

     

    My main concern is not only about production sound, but overall as an art in cinema and television.

     

    From the other hand, my main positive view coming from the point of: Human has been created Art, in any form (eg. cinema, music, dance etc) to cure the knowledge of death and have festive. It has been created by human and only human can understand and feel any form of Art; and somehow we will protect this by no matter what economic model now (eg. capitalism) or in the future. 

  3. Hugh Robjohns refairs to interference tubes which is shorter, not the back of the mic. Schoeps CMIT 5U and MiniCMIT has the same interference tube length, as Constantin and Ramallo said; but the difference is the backplate. What matters, which supercardioid capsule with interference tube you like and which not. In my POV, so far, I like Sanken CS3e with MKH50 combination or MKH70 with MKH50. I like MKH50 outside as well sometimes with good wind protection.

  4. There is no need for an update, IMHO. It has everything for 95% of workflow (docu, drama, film). The only "update" will be something bigger, but you can already record 16 tracks, Dante etc with the only hardware update - maybe - a little more proper output scheme and connectors.

    You are now the third or fourth person I‘ve heard of  from Greece who migrated to Sweden. Is this a coincidence or this a a particular reason? Are the languages related? Or is the swedish market in dire need of sound recordists or…?

     

    The "problem" is that we are two Vasilis and both in production sound dept. Haha

  6. Left Athens, Greece on the sixteenth of February for Stockholm, Sweden.

    Doing mostly replacements, since I am new here. I can't complain, everything went smoothly and very well for a newcomer.

    Now, industry seems pretty dead for me and everyone which I have spoke.

    I hope soon will start again, because it's not a city than you can stay for long without income. Especially for me, where I start from 0.

    Has anybody noticed an issue with digital vs analog wireless when using the MKH50? (when the transmitter is mounted at the end of the boom pole) 

     

    Nope. I have used MKH 50 with Lectrosonics HMa Plug-On, Lectrosonics DPR Plug-On, Wisycom MTB40S Plug-On, Wisycom MTP40S + PHA48 Combination, Audio Limited (or Sound Devices) A10. No issues between these combinations. So far, no one has been gave me the Zaxcom TRX745 or ZMT4; so I can't comment for this digital wireless.

  8. Around 4-5 years now, every sound mixer I have worked; they provided Sennheiser MKH50 to my hands. Some of them where afraid to use it outside, two of them have switched to MKH50 exclusively for indoors - outdoors. Only bring Sanken CS-3e if I am more than 60cm above the head. I would prefer slightly Schoeps MK41 capsule in some female voices, but you know, can't switch booms during the take. lol

     

    Never had RFI issues or humidity, even with MK41 - have used in salt water as well.

  9. You will be supriced if you hear a supercardoid without interference tube from a hypercardioid / supercardioid with interference tube (shotgun). All the shotguns out there, their directivity starts around from 1000Hz and above and below that frequency isn't directional at all, well, because of physics. All of them (shotgun) will perform better (better cancellation) if the background noise is constant. IMHO, will need a very good judgement when to bring out MKH50 or 416 (or Sanken CS3e) and when not, but this is another story.

     

    My advice is to start with Sennheiser MK 416 which is miles better from NTG4; and if you need to add something else, look to rent MKH50 for indoor situation. If you are "brave" and use MKH50 outside, you will never want to hear any shootgun at all. ;)  

  10. The Audioroot Li-96 & Li-48 NEO is kinda disappointment, I would say. I have seen at least 8 batteries not being charged in Audioroot eSMART Quad Charger (and Dual Charger as well); also display sometimes works - sometimes not. I have been told the same from three different sound mixers as well (Greece, Sweden, USA). The old ones didn't any issue.

     

    IMHO, I would go for Inspired Energy which is the original one; it's more easier to buy it if someone being located in USA rather than in EU land. The Audioroot eSMART Quad Charger is the best one I have found so far.

  11. Hej Koen,

     

    Assuming everyone has a style and technique for booming. The most important is communication, during the rehearsal - be a more "aggresive" and if the boom will be "in"; pretty sure you will tell you. Either from camera dept. (eg. focus puller) or your sound mixer (if has a monitor). 24mm is wide, 35mm can be either wide or medium or close up, 135mm is close up; this is the most case in my experience. For documentary is a different story. With time and practise you will learn it and remember each DoP / Director has each own style. Again, communication with other dept. is key and with your own sound mixer.

     

    Regarding booming & watching frame simultaneously: For me, it never worked. One second off to go down to watch the frame and the world has been changed. I prefer to have open eyes, particulary one in my marks (eg. on walls, horizon) and the other watching other things (eg. camera movement, camera pan etc). It takes time to learn this.
