Hey Guys, I often use a pair of NT5's plugged into channels 1 and 2 of my 833 with balanced cables in XY for recording ambiance. I find that they quite often pick up interference from mobiles/radios with beep beep beep data noises. Has anyone else had this issue? Did you resolve it? Any recommended ambiance mics that don't do this? Thanks

I know one of you has this unit for IEM because I saw your unboxing on youtube. But I'd like to know: 1. How does it sound 2. What is it's range ? 3. Does it work with a G3 bodypack transmitter?

Hi JWsoundgroup A freelancer of ours recently had a gig recording a panel discussion with 4 people. MCR54 with betso bowties into 833, 2x MTP40s and 2xMTP41s operating in the 650mHz range. One of the transmitters started sounding worse over time. At first, there was slight saturation when talent got loud, after an hour, the signal was all but unusable. Bodypack was mounted on pants at the back, talent wasn't sweaty and the antenna didn't touch the skin directly. MCR54 showed good reception throughout the entire ordeal. After the shoot, said freelancer replaced the mic to see if the mic was faulty. But he got the same distorty sound on the other …

I've been sending my Cos11's to The Broadcast Shop for repairs when needed. Turnaround has been a couple weeks before hitting the bench. Anyone have another repair center they recommend? Thanks for any suggestions!

Hello fellow recordist. Ive recently purchased a SD SL2 to complement my 833 and im struggling to get good reliable range when using. The setup is lectro's src's recievers 26, betso bowties and or whips. SMQV transmitters. Im also running 3 block 24 transmitters in the bag. Those overload lights drive me pottie, after turning down the rf sensitivity and a few tunes to no improvement I ended up flicked them off! . I'm just finding the sl2 very sensitive to outside rf and really inconsistent range. . On my current Job im carrying my reliable 688/sl6 combo for the days I need more range. And on the same setup and tune It's by a country mile more reliable. The…

I'm making cables to use Sony URX-P03 on channels 4-6 (TA3F) on the 633 mixer. The cable works, but the signal is so low. I have Attenuation at 0 on the transmitter, and the output of the receiver up all the way at +12. I know these 633 channels are all line level only, but does anyone know the pinouts for the Sony wireless? Doesn't Sennheiser have line level on the ring and mic on the tip or something like that? I can't find this info anywhere for Sony. I did pin 1 to sleeve, pin 2 to tip and pin 3 to ring--is that the way to go? Can anyone help me understand a solution? Surely these Sony's can output a line level signal, ca…

For my application I need a ta5f to 3.5mm cable with -10 pad built in. To prevent overloading the camera it would be going to. Is this kind of cable possible to make and where would I be able to source getting one?

What are some clever and small footprint mounting solutions for the Blackmagic dual monitors? I know that Malcolm Davies has a cool one that his company makes, wondering what else people have found for it.

One of my Deity w.lav Micro lavaliers got yanked on a shoot last week, and is shorting at the Microdot connector. It's been 6 days, I'm having no luck getting any kind of support response from Deity, either through their web support form, or direct emails to their support department. Anyone have any experience with their repair/support department? A phone number? Or, does anyone know if it's possible to dissemble and repair the connector myself? I do have soldering skills, but can't figure out how to get into the connector.

Hello Everyone, I want to share this post because I couple of weeks ago I was looking for some information that might help me but could not find it, hopefully this helps anyone in need. In case someone is trying to fit a Sound Devices 633 into an Orca Bag OR-27, I've tried and it was a success, I did this for a travel show where I was hiking and going from town to town for long days and carrying this setup all day but this was super light, I could fit 2 SCRs, a Sound Devices 633, a battery Bud and a NP-1 Battery, you might fit another SRC but I did not test that, I can assure the setup in the picture works. HOWEVER, the downside is that…

I have a shoot in the Caribbean on the 11th and wondered what frequencies are used there. I looked on line and see some of ch38’s range is in it. Anyone have any experience over there? thanks

I am putting together some new tools that i really want to pressure test to get an idea of overall performance... So the question for the group is how would you test RF performance-- not just range, but vulnerability to adjacent RF troublemakers. Walkies- Video TX.. other transmitters.. Tools i am working with .. DSQD- SRCs(A1), HM/SM TXs(A1+B1), PSC sixpack, Wisycom LFA-B-2 s, I'' grab some walkies, and a terradek too.. Wondering how you would simulate your RF reception nightmare-- fun:)! OR is it not really possible to do a reasonable test without putting it all together on a working set... ? thanks, j

I thought I saw a photo either here or on one of the FB pages of a multi-bay slot-loading charger for 6 or 8 NP-50 (Fuji) batteries as used in Lectro SSM transmitters (and the new little Zaxcom one, I think). Search as hard as I can - I can't find it again. Does anyone have a link? Thanks, Nick

Hello, I’ve just gotten my hands on a comtek ir-10 and a neckloop transductor and I’m curious if anyone has any experience with the items. I’m currently testing the earpiece but it seems to have a weak signal from the neck loop when using it normally. As I would suspect the feed gets stronger the closer to the neckloop transductor but under normal conditions it is faint/weak. Any ideas where I should start troubleshooting?

Hello I just wrapped the first feature with my new combo SD888+SL2 +wisycom MCR54x2. it was a great setup to work with. Only one thing was quite annoying: I had antenna cables made with SMA on one end and BNC on the other one. is it just me or really the position of the 2 SMA connectors on the SL2 was not designed with efficiency in mind ? The ergonomic is terrible and it is a real pain to screw and unscrew the SMAs from the SL2. The MCR54 are quite high above the level where the connectors are and that makes access to the connectors very narrow, especially once in the bag which is always for me (Ktek smallX stingray.) I have to find a solution for a mor…

So, here we go! Rycote made their first shotgun microphones in their history and world asking: "How it sounds, what's weight, is it good, have you throw it in iceberg; does it work in UAE desert? HC-15 & HC-22 Shotgun Microphones is here and this topic calling you to post your worst & best experience with these microphones. Don't be cute, don't be humble, don't be generous. We hate that. Does is it sound better from Schoeps? Does it built like Sennheiser 416? Simple, clean, to-the-point-answers. I don't ask to jeopardize your NDA; but people with no rental in some countries will appreciate your tested files. === PS. I …

Does anyone know what the correct wiring would be for a Deity w.lav Micro for both servo and non-servo Lectrosonics (5-pin) transmitters? The cable is 2 wire. I know that their DA5S microdot adapter works best for me on both my Lectro SMWB and UM400 (not A) transmitters. I can't seem to take apart their microdot connectors to see what magic is happening inside.

Looks very interesting. Seems to tick most of the boxes of the rumours. Multiband was a new one for me, certainly very interesting for people doing doc work. Was expecting a smaller form factor, but can only imagine that this is the first of a range. Didnt mention anything about 48v, so from the rumors, they might have dropped that feuture on this particulair model?

Hi, finally upgrading from WS4 for my 2x KMR 81i's Should I be pitching my dealer about Piano instead who seems to be trying to avoid discussing it 🤷♀️ e.g. should I be worrying this "lessened" gap between the boundary and the head of my KMR 81i ? Pianissimo would be much more versatile for me than Piano that is granted that opens the path to 8000's and other "minis" (or "modern medium" size now!) outside. Cinela had a facebook post down from 2014 showing "it's possible" - I'm just wondering about the tradeoffs here. Maybe there are some other alternatives I've neglected to check out ?

Hey, Has anyone used the Sanken CS-M1 as a wireless boom with the audio limited a10, and does it create a hum noise? I'm having problems with my sanken when I use it as a wireless boom with a Denecke PS-1A phantom power supply and a G3/G4 or Wisycom, and it doesn't send any signal, I just hear a loud hum noise. But when I connect the sanken directly into the recorder I can hear it loud and clear, even using the Denecke as phantom power and connecting it to the recorder I can hear it. Does anyone have any issues with this, or is the Sanken malfunctioning? Has anyone used it as a wireless boom with the audio limited a10, and does it work correctly?

Hey folks. Let me preface this, as with every thread, by saying I am not a sound guy (if I run for president, that will be my platform). What I AM is a sometimes one man band camera guy who has to do his own sound/grip/gaffer with a shit ton of big and heavy gear, sometimes teleprompter operator with an equal amount of crap to cart around (presidential system/case, large HD monitors, etc.), sometimes mobile prompter guy on lens mount prompter shoots who likes to use his cart as a mobile table. I have owned/used a rocknroller r12 all terrain (all big tires) for a few years, think I had the 10 before that. Both have been janky in different ways. My current one has…

Deity had already given us sneak peaks at tradeshows, but now the smart slate is officially launched and available for sale. Newsshooter has published the first review of it I think: https://www.newsshooter.com/2022/10/25/deity-tc-sl1-smart-slate-review/ I've already got a couple of timecode slates, so I think I won't be getting one, but if I ever need another in the future then the Deity TC-SL1 will be at the top of my list to consider. The Deity TC-SL1 is priced at $999: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1705810-REG/deity_microphones_dtt0286d81_tc_sl1_wi…

I'm looking into whether anyone has any experience using the compatibility mode on Lectrosonics receivers (SRa /411) with transmitters from other manufacturers, specifically the Sennheiser 3000/5000 series (I've read Mode 3 should be compatible with the HiDyn plus compander)- what's the range like and how do they sound compared using the original receivers? I've got a couple of Senn transmitters which can be re-tuned reasonably cheaply, although the receivers are more expensive and I'm looking at other options, at least as a stopgap.
