zax tx with countryman b6 users

[greg sextro]

Which sensitivity b6 do any of you use? I have a "red band" version that seems excessively noisy on a "normal" voice. I had it wired at Pro Sound, so I don't think it's improperly soldered.

Just wanted to check if anyone else out there uses this combination.

why not discuss it with the folks at PSS ??

i've used this combination.

didn't notice any excessive noise, but it was used in loud environments and pretty close to the mouth, hence the "red band"

i did notice that it had reduced sensitivity as advertised, but it would also overload which kind of defeats the purpose.

in the same situation using a regular cos-11 i got better results just using lower gain settings. looking at the specs the "red band" version has max SPL of 130dB, and a cos-11 says 123dB@1%THD. 

I definetly noticed more clipping on the B6.

 

for the noise the difference in "Equivalent Acoustic Noise" countryman says: 24 vs 29 dBSPL, neither of which she be a problem in most situations. 

 

to sum up a rambling and off topic reply: noise wasn't a problem for me with the B6W5 and zaxcom TRX900LA
