  1. Good to know Larry, I took the data from your website, I think it would also be good to have the SWR information at its best (As Betso's should be) Thank you
  2. I guess it depends on whether the 1/2 dipole is at its correct distance. The advantage that I see in the Botwie is that it is suitable for multiple frequencies at the same time and you forget about it, but at the cost of losing gain. But also according to those at Betso it has an SWR of 1.2:1 (I think it is too good ) against the 2:1 (Fair) of, for example, the Lectrosonic SNA600a. Much more efficient the Betso
  3. Look in technical characteristics the gain, less than a 1/2 dipole
  4. You can follow any Dante clock as master or for example with a Avio AES by AES EBU (Enable sync to external) Best Suso
  5. I love the 4minx, but the two units that I have, have the tone (around 1490Hz), the preamps are great but have high harmonic distortion too The menu is very awful for drama, but for music isn't a drama Another for the Sound Devices 788T, the best preamps I tried and measured in a battery recorder, built for last (Except the keyboard). The drawback for me is the menu (I hate it) (I'll love a harwire CL Wifi), but isn't a problem for music. Measures
  6. Well, Yamaha and Steinberg IMMO is a bad example, they have just eliminated the Nuage ecosystem, leaving their users stranded In my opinion, there wasn't much of a market for a recorder worth more than €15,000, all the ones that had to be sold were sold. They also made a big mistake with the Cantar Mini, they limited it too much so as not to compete with the X3, and they killed it. 10 inputs (4x mic, x2 line and 4x AES) and 16 tracks was absurd, it took a long time to get the Dante option (And I could have it from the beginning) My feeling is with the Aaton workers, especially with Sebastian Nagra is dead as a pro audio manufacturer, a long time ago.
  7. The DM3 only have a two track recorder, but in other hand thru Dante or the USB you can add several recorders, such as two SD970, or two computers But I will try to investigate reading control, it has a time reader in the mixer
  8. Just to feed my curiosity, why do you want TC on the mixer? Best Suso
  9. Hi Philip, This is not my information here The DM3 are more limited than his big brother the DM7, for example, the DM3 haven't insertion points, and much more limited mixer and inputs. I don't think that the TF is a upgrade, IMMO is a downgrade (horrid OS) Best Suso
  10. The Cmit mini has the same length of interference tube as the normal Cmit (which also has a short tube), the length of that tube is the only thing that matters from an acoustic point of view, the only thing that changes is that it has electronics, more compact (and modern). Same for the Sennheiser Another thing is the Sanken CS M1, it has a shorter tube which will act at higher frequencies.
  11. IMMO the DM7 is the replacement for CL and QL, the DM3 for TF, for high end the Rivage series. The CL/QL are more expensive and older (This tiny desk will go to 96kHz and have better touch screen than CL or QL), like the PM1D was more expensive than a new PM10. You can feed the computer or by USB or Dante. Dante in this mixer could be "Preferred leader" or not, the mixer chase the Dante election (Like CL or QL) if you synchronized by Dante. Is only 48kHz and 96kHz of fs. There is no TC generator, the mixer can only read the DAW TC, but in IMMO, who cares in a mixer? (My Audio Developments mixer does not have TC), I suppose the TC must be in the recorder, the Boom Recorder for example can receive TC on any channel, I suppose you could send that TC by midi or OSC to see it on the mixer display (Such as the DAW controller mode). The SD Pix970 would be a nice addition to this desk My complain of this desk is the lack of insertion points (Channel or Bus) or the lack of Dugan automix Best
  12. I bought one with Dante, it's very small, IMMO is a great companion for Boom Recorder, it has six aux sends plus two matrices, a low latency USB, it can be synced externally with Dante, anyway is a good sounding mixer. The operating system is like a Central Logic, in a few minutes, if you know how to operate a CL and QL, you own this mixer. It has an external power supply (24V/48W XLR4 input), ideal for battery operation (But is a bit power hungry). This new DM3 and DM7 line will probably be the replacements for all the low and medium series (TF, QL and CL). In my opinion Yamaha has hit the nail on the head
  13. Has anyone with a PSC Powerstar tried lithium batteries? I know the device is designed for SLA batteries and charges them, but I would like to know if I could do the same with lithium batteries, or what modification would I need Best
  14. If you have a proper ground plane, a 1/4 antenna have more gain than a 1/2 dipole
  15. First, no replacement parts for the Cantar X1 or X2 (Specially the LCD) The Deva V is a superb machine (Every Deva since the IV have the same OS), but IMMO only for cart (too big), is great for narrative work (Easy to mount and unmount tracks and metadata entry), touch screen, 10 tracks, great preamplifiers, Zaxnet orders. The only one drawback is the file names, is just the folder and number (001, 002), but by using the Wave agent is very easy to fix (rename the file with the metadata name) IMMO the Deva V with a Mix8 or Mix12 is a win win, perfect for today cart work
  16. Yes, you only need assign the zaxnet numbers to the transmitters. But with a Maxx (And the QRXIFB) you can control frequency and gain
  17. The last incarnation of my lifeboat bag (Is the spare for my Nova) Zaxcom RX4 + MRX414, Maxx with CL, IFB200, Hawk Woods NP1 distribuitor , Betso Botwie antennas, Orca OR30. 8 tracks, 4 receivers, IFB thru Zaxnet and UHF
  18. Please note this, there are no replacement parts for these recorders, especially screens. If something vital breaks, you throw it away
  19. Try to clean, the board and the faders, try with Isopropyl alcohol diluted with distilled water (50/50), no power on until all the liquid will be evaporated, for great the fader guide (You need open it), silicon oil Best
  20. The Oasis work with the NoVa perfectly (I have both) I did not mean exactly that the Aria had a large size, it seems small, I meant that people expected a Mix8 II, something like the Sonosax, small size and price. Maybe I explained it wrong. Probably if they had taken an inexpensive and small surface, I would buy it to carry a very small setup with the NoVa, at that price I am comfortable with the Oasis. Best Regards
  21. Nice unit but IMMO is a wrong move. I venture to say that everyone expected a MIX8 II, small, like the SX-LC8 + from Sonosax and even a price similar to that of Sonosax (1400), something with 8 faders + 8 trims, pfl and basic transport (REC + STOP). But they have produced something very cool but at an exorbitant price, which with the addons is more expensive than an Oasis, and IMMO the Oasis give more. I don't understand that move Best

  23. Nomad is tiny (also nice for a cart), have neverclip, have zaxnet, have auto trim, have Oasis possibility, have Touch, individual on/low radios, multiple trims to one fader. Deva have touch screen and a nicier file control. IMMO the Nomad is a much modern machine
