Henry the RFS Wireman

After a long period of employment at Richmond Film Services, I am delighted to reveal to you all that 9th October will be my last day working for Nigel and Valerie. Please be advised that the cut-off for any bookings at Richmond will be the 1st October. I will continue making and repairing cables, reterminating personal microphones and other related work on a self employed basis. I have Nigel and Valerie's full support and approval, and will have a healthy stock of cable and connectors. My email address is henrywiresmith@googlemail.com and my telephone number is 07905 175 577. Please do get in touch with your continuing needs for decent cables.

Also worth pointing out that this wiring is also compatible with WYSICOM transmitters.

Reading these thread has prompted me to join the JW Sound forum. So firstly to clear up some speculation. Correct, here at Richmond Film Services we do not have any Lectrosonics to hire. When Lectrosonics products began to increase in popularity, I started to accept my clients personal wiring requests on the proviso that they check the microphones on their transmitters as soon as they receive them back from me. I do have a personal microphone power supply on my bench which delivers a positive bias voltage to the commonly found connectors on most radio microphone transmitters to give me an indication as to whether I have the wiring correct. But I have always said that there is no substitute for checking the personal mics with the transmitter. Also, please bear in mind all I do is wiring, I do not get out in the field like you guys, so I rely on feedback and constructive criticism to deliver my service to you. Secondly, for DPA microphones into Lectrosonics transmitters I have always followed wiring scheme #3 and fitted a 3K3 ohm resistor (in the early days I fitted 3K9 resistors, but have found 3K3 ohm resistors more useful to keep in stock, as they can double up for wiring scheme #1). The exceptions being personal mics for Tim and Tom (mentioned above) who prefer 1K7 ohm resistors, and now it looks like Seb will prefer that too. He will be returning his mics to me shortly to see if this solves his problem. I have terminated scores and scores of DPA mics for use with Lectros. How is it I haven't had more returned to me? Thirdly, I always use the Rean connector, unless the client supplies me with something else. The Reans are what I hold in stock.
