The Viviana Antenna Saver had me wondering what it does, since no data is published about performance; not that I blame them. There are too many variables to say what results one will get. I had some silicone tubing that was about the right size and I gave it a try. The tubing I have does not keep the antenna away as far as the Viviana item. It provided at least an 8db signal improvement. I did not notice any improvement moving the antenna further away. I experimented with the antenna distance from the skin. The signal starts to noticeably attenuate at about 3/16" from the body. So I think Viviana got it right with their product. Thumbs…

I’m changing things up on my follow cart and would love some ideas. Maybe we could get a “Gallery of Follow Carts” going to complement the original “Gallery of Sound Carts?”

Just recently purchased a second hand MKH30 to pair with my existing MKH50 for stereo MS ambiences, and it seems like windshields for this set up are not a common thing for some reason. I am sure i'm not alone using (or trying to use) this set up for stereo MS in the field, so show me your set ups please I could set it up on my Rycote Nano Shield but the two mics seem too tall since the nano shield is a flat oval shaped blimp, or could purchase something new or fabricate something maybe. I also own an INV 7 suspension which could hold the two mics probably but i'd still need to find some windshield that fits two mics like that. I was hoping to have it in some b…

Hey everyone, I post more on the Facebook audio pages but wanted to show off the products I have been designing for audio equipment. I have designed cases for lockit boxes, tx, rxs, bumpers for slates, sunshades for the Sound Devices 6 and 8 series and battery caps for smart batteries. It's been a fun process learning how to create cases for our industry.

Just checking, is VDB Audio actually operational? I'm interested in a boom; however, there is no dealer in Australia so I'm attempting to contact them directly. I filled out the query webform weeks ago with no response, started an online account on the website and submitted a quote request...no response and emailed the sales email...also no response. Doesn't bode well for follow up if I have any issues or need customer service later.

Hi, Please excuse my possibly silly question: I have here a Sonosax M2D2 and a Sony Alpha 7CII. Is there a way to connect the M2D2 digitally via the MIShoe? Are there other possibilities for digital audio integration? Greetings from Switzerland Erich

A friend's house flooded yesterday and some of his equipment got wet. In the past I have only had water problems with transmitters and I have proceeded by disassembling and immersing them in isolpropyl alcohol. And it has worked in 75% of cases (although future corrosion is uncertain). Is there any reason to believe that isopropyl alcohol can damage some equipment? I know that it damages the appearance of some plastics, but nothing more. Will it hurt LCD screens? What is certain is that you do not have to give them power. opinions?

Hello, I’m writing from Italy and hope to get some help (informations) regarding the as beautiful as infamous Stelladat and the people who used it. At the time it was developed, I was working as a vision engineer and also maintenance engineer in a TV network and, being audio my great passion, I also followed the fairs and other events related to music production and sound for TV. I already had some DAT machines for my personal use, like the Sony DTC-1000 and TCD-10, but, the first time I saw a picture of the Stelladat, I instantly fell in love. But there was a but… there were two big problems: it was completely beyond my financial means and it wasn’t available yet, beca…

One of my Sanken COS11D had some weird noise when it receives any sound wave, either from the speaker himself or from people around. When it's quiet, it's alright. I wonder if it the diaphragm problem or it's due to the accessory (a vampire clip). Any thoughts?

First product I’ve seen using the new WMAS technology. Can’t wait to see what others do with this tech, only a matter of time before us bag mixers get something small enough to use.

I’m thinking on jumping on the ship of the A-20 nexus and replace my SRcs/SMWDBs. I’m wondering what transmitters to go with. I would like to have your opinion on it. now that the A20-tx is out, is it a better option overall? The A20-TX seems to have a better battery life and more functions. The mini is smaller but battery life seems to be an issue. Do people hide the A20-TX on talents without problem? Is the size comparable to a SMWDB? Thank you, Nathan

I recently finished shooting two feature films using Zaxcom Deva24 and had some issues with timecode that I would like to share here. The editorial department reported that in the timecode sync process of all cuts, the sound preceded the picture by an average of two frames. At first I suspected that the problem might be caused by the camera, but when two films shot with different cameras both pointed out a two-frame error, I changed my mind and did a test at a later date using only my own equipment. I tested recording Deva24 and Fusion(also made by Zaxcom) simultaneously with the timecode boxes synced, and interestingly, the result was that Deva24's …

Inspired by the "View from the office" thread, i am pretty curious as to what bags people haul around, and what gear is in it. So, this threads purpose is pretty simple. Show me your bag, give a little description of what it contains, and what type of gigs you normally do. My "bag": The thing is, i have no bag yet. No cart either. So what you see, is what i have, the rest is rented for every gig. Gear list: Sound Devices 442 Sennheiser G3 kit Røde Lavalier Røde NTG-3 AKG K-271

(I apologize to JW for starting a new F8 thread, but I have a specific technical question for F8 users and didn't want it buried in the thread with overall impressions and speculations about the recorder's future etc. If this is not cool I will move this thread or delete and try again there.) My question is for F8 users--have you used the F8 TC mode in which it uses incoming external TC to control its record (sample) clock? Have you used this mode over a long take (like a concert set, 1+ hr) and did sync hold with other devices? There have been other devices (that I've owned) that would do this (MOTU Traveler, Tascam HDP2 among them) and it worked very well, but i…

I haven't read tonnes of testimonials about the Audioroot e-smart K-art. I'm a big fan of my two audioroot bag distros, and the K-art appeals to me with its monitoring and heavy use of Hirose connections (of which I've invested already). But I'd love to hear more about how it fares after years of use, and how nicely it plays with other brand portable battery options (like the PSC pelican life etc). Thanks!

Hello all! I'm thinking of acquiring the older Sax mixer, SX-8 or SX-10. I do have MD2D and it is an awesome-sounding unit, I don't expect the mixer to sound the same of course but really would love to try. I was wondering, maybe, by any chance, if anybody has this hooked up and could do me a favor and run a few samples through it and/or record something. To have a broad sense of tonality, noise floor etc... That would be really helpful and appreciated Cheers
