  1. Looks like a bad contact of the front panel
  2. The matrix is equal for all (Except the DPA4) W' = FLU+FRD+BLD+BRU X' = FLU+FRD-BLD-BRU Y' = FLU-FRD+BLD-BRU Z' = FLU-FRD-BLD+BRU This is A to B (The B is the main format for decode) The difference is the distance to the center of tetrahedron, depends of this distance you need more or less EQ for compensate the separation artifacts. This EQ is individual for every microphone brand/model (aka correction filter). Best
  3. 1) It’s important I can custom names the files before starting recording, for example the name of the ciak scene, I mean all the info useful for people which will make the post production Zaxcom Maxx 2) I need to record 5 tracks with phantom power Zaxcom Maxx only have 4 preamps, two lines and 4 AES. You need a Nomad in this case, but have a vey restricted low frequency performance (Hard wired high pass at 50Hz), probably is better the Nova 3) I need full support for ambisonic audio No one have full support for A format, some have support only for Ambeo (Zoom F8n, Sonosax SX R4+, SD Mix Pre). For B format any recorder could decoder it, not perfect (W need to set at -3dB) (L=W+Y and R=W-Y) 4) All the tracks must have a safety backup track recorded to tot. -db to prevent clipping Zaxcom Maxx with neverclip 5) Very good low noise levels, way much better than another model I already own called Zoom H6 but is not enough. The new one must be so good that I can record room tones (I really need to record good quality room tones for work also). Zaxcom Maxx 6) Full timecode support Zaxcom Maxx 7) I need to send an audio monitor wireless to the script clerk Zaxcom Maxx with radio option and a URX100 (Best Sound). Zaxcom Nomad or Nova with ERX3 Low battery consume or offering good solutions for it Zaxcom Maxx I'm using for ambisonic recording a Zaxcom Maxx and a Sonosax SX R4 (Not plus), with Soundfields SPS200, ST250 and ST350 Best
  4. Usually in front of the trumpets and trombones is sitting a methacrylate shield, for do a protection for the musicians seating in front of this instruments. The complete paper: https://academic.oup.com/annweh/article/55/8/893/264708
  5. Is a matter about max spl and distance from the source. A big orchestra easily meet 120dB SPL (Peak) in a fortissimo in the typical position of the main pair, but over 130 (Peak) as spot microphone (Depends of the instrument/instruments) https://academic.oup.com/view-large/3169085
  6. I have a NPF mod and last 8 to 10 hours
  7. I did a Ambeo vs SPS200 comparison, and my impressions was very negative against the Ambeo, good for the price, but this was all. In my initial impressions I found the Rode much better than the Ambeo
  8. Good noise but very short max SPL, 120dB SPL is a short number
  9. Resurrecting this thread, finally I have a Rode I taken some ambiances for test. I left some recordings in this link (A format audios): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fzyp94xAzA1WZlZoybHdu1hxIrgxzL9w Both microphones with his windshields, connected both to a DAD AX32, at 40dB of gain the Rode and 45dB the Soundfield. *The Rode have problems with the hum (here in Europe the AC is 50Hz), very big 50Hz noise, I don't know if is regular with this unit when is connected to AC powered recorder, or is just the test unit
  10. I have a QRX100 and a QRX200 and usually I have better reception with my QRX100 (both with whips, dual mode and XR), is a bit baffling 🤨
  11. The Maxx have the best preamps made by Zaxcom (Better than the Nomad) and on par with other much more expensive and/or exotic recorders. The DPA 6060 is a superb nice lavalier microphone, not a right "all use" SFX recording microphone, just my opinion. F.E. My actual SFX recording package is a Sonosax SX R4 (without +) and a Soundfield SPS200
  12. +1 in SD 744 or 722, 702 the best preamplifiers ever made by Sound Devices and dirty cheap in this days. Also a superb nice option is the old Sonosax SX R4 (Not the new +), very bad and ugly software interface, but four nice preamps (IMMO better than the new one) (Can be linked all), low power consumption, and cheap now If you can afford, the Zaxcom Maxx are great, never clip, four preamps (nice for ambisonics can be linked all the gain preamps) (no decoder, no calibration for the inputs). My only drawback is: I can't work at 192kHz (I don't care), when I set this fs the Maxx start with a choppy sound (2.4 firmware). Best
  13. Hello, I use them for acoustic music recording also live shows (CK63/61), for me is a less costly replacement of the DPA 4011/18 (that also is better than the CK63+C480 but no so much) (Sometimes I use a lot of microphones). In the subjective world: more definition to my ears. But I was very happy with the CK93 for indoor interviews, also the fig 8 (CK94) is a superb nice microphone (The CK92 is nice too), but I don't like of this series the CK91 and the CK98 (Very prone to manipulation noises) (Too much bass). I usually go to Bilbao (I work as live technician with some folk bands from Euskadi), when I go next time, I will warn you. Best Suso
  14. DPA 4018 or DPA 4011, it depends. P.S. the 63 is a better microphone (With C480) than the 93, but the 93 is a very good microphone for the price
  15. I have a Zaxcom ZFR100 with STA42 for cover my Maxx bag, and a CameraLink for my Nomad bag
  16. I have two (2011 units) and I don't have any problem. But sometimes with high humidity I can had a "bump"
  17. Great, I'm waiting your audio related products
  18. Me, great (My unit won't work with cable only with Oasis or Bluetouch)
  19. You have 6 mic/line inputs and 4 line inputs, you need more?
  20. I'm pea green with envy (I wan't a KU100), congrats, enjoy!.
  21. DPA made, is the calibration sheet of this microphone
