     And new to me certainly - SD now moving to Smart batteries... but strangely still building around the Sonys.

     

    Same battery as everybody else, different label.

    As far as sound quality goes, obviously lower sample rate means less data but for on-set dialogue, what would really be missed by recording at 44.1? Anything discernible?

    The argument is about sticking to post production standards, and the risk of handing in work that doesn't match with your master recorder files.

  3. 2.4 GHz amps are mostly useful for situations where the band is clear, and you just need to send the signal further distances, i.e. building to building. 

    In a crowded environment, using an amplifier may just add more noise, and make performance worse for everyone. 

  4. Japanese talk, talent, and variety shows mainly use above-clothing lavalier mics, or wireless hand mics, depending on production or preference. Place the mic wherever works best, they didn't mind about aesthetics. Sometimes it's a combination of podium and wireless mics. Receiver antennae are remotely placed around the stage. 

    Signals are routed through an auto-mixer (Dugan etc) and compressor/limiter chain. 

    Overhead mics are usually used for producer, behind-camera crew, and audience reactions. Behind-camera crew reactions (laughter, shock, etc) are actually a big part of the mix. 

    i.e. If you hear mostly men laughing, that's the crew. If you hear mostly women, that's the audience.

    In that era, scripted drama shows were either boom only, or dubbed later.  Wireless mics were mostly for TV and broadcasting. 

  5. Indeed if you have an early model, they were problematic.   Those units were built in 2012 and had serial numbers staring with the digits 12.xx.xxx   All units built after January 1st, 2013 do not have this issue.  The serial numbers on these units will start with 13, 14 or 15.   Our serial numbers work as follows:  YYMMxxx  YY= year, MM = Month, xxx = serial number made that month.  For example:  1501001  2015, January, 1st unit made that month.

    If you have any question about the performance of your RF Multi SMA, please feel free to send it to me at PSC and I will test its performance for you.

    Hi Ron,

    While most of the numbers on the unit are faded/worn out, it does seem to start with a 13. 

    I still would like to test this out, as I've tried ruling out all other hardware.  I even have similar result with an SRb.
