As the title says, I'm getting a "if bw mismatch" error message. Is this something fixable on the units (mcr42s and mtp-40s)?

Hi People! For some time now we have a big issue with our src setup. The setup is: SD 788t Lectrosonics octopack 4x src receiver 2x hma transmitter Some smv/smqv recievers Betso shark fin antennas A-band From the beginning of using this setup the range is really low also we get a lot of drop outs. We tried different antenna cables, we use smartscan all the time, tried different rf gain settings,tried to move the sd788t away. The antennas have to be really close to the scene to get something usable. Still it could drop out... I get much better range and stability on my g3s... The setup was at lectrosonics 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've found some third party Lemo-compatible screw-on type 3-pin connectors that I much prefer over the actual Lemo version. These are the connectors that would be used with a Zaxcom transmitter, or higher end Sennheiser model. When I first got some of these I thought they were Lemo brand and that the company had improved them. Then, I realized that they were a third party version. These connectors use a tightening collar strain relief (that can be reused) rather than the crimp style that Lemo screw-ons have. Picture a strain relief more like what Neutrik XLRs use. They are easier to both wire and assemble (you don't need a special tool) and can be reused. One …

Looking for help with a Betso SBox-1, which I bought second hand. I press the buttons to turn it on, and the "turning on" info comes on, but then it stops. After that, I cannot interact with the buttons at all, unless I take out the batteries, and put it back in, where I can only turn it on before it turns off again. Does anyone have a Betso SBox-1 that has encountered this issue, and knows how to fix it?

Some of my Comtek P-1 zippered belt pouches are showing their age, and $16-19 seems a little pricey to replace with OEM pouches. I’ve found a few possibilities, but I thought I’d ask here. What alternative pouches are you using for Comteks? Preference for belt clip, as opposed to belt loop. Thanks in advance for any links and ideas! Brian

I ordered some Y-splitter cables from timecode systems some time ago to connect my Ultrasync One LTC Timecode unit and a Microphone to a camera via stereo minijack port. Unfortunately there is huge audio bleeding in frome the USO to the mic track, so I can hear the timecode unit und the mic as well. Much quieter but when you have to push the volume a little you can hear it clearly. Does anyone have the same problem with these cables?? Heres a sample of the aplified right track.

I'm interested in the Hot Box to power some DC devices. I was told to get this power supply. https://www.trewaudio.com/product/remote-audio-pshot/ At 200 for just the power supply, it's a bit pricey are there reliable alternative options that you guys are using successfully with the Hot Box? Or are you sticking with the one above?

Hello! Does anyone know of a seller of Schoeps microphones in Rome, Italy? I emailed the Italian distributor in Milan about this, about a week ago, but until now here's been no answer. Thank you! Olof

Just got some ZMT 4s and have been trying them with all my mics. Despite the new transmitters all operating at 5v instead of 3v I’m still getting the excess noise and “generally off” sound with my DPA 4061 and 6061s as I remember when using them with the older 3v transmitters. Anyone using them successfully?

Hello everyone. I recently bought the 833 and tried out my stereo sets (Schoeps CMC641 or miniCMIT / CCM8). I set CH1 and CH2 to "linked" and was a bit surprised that you can only define a common LowCut for both channels. Maybe I'm wrong, but the 633 was different. In any case, the CCM8 needs a higher LowCut for boom work than a miniCMIT or a CMC641 (with a CUT60). Schoeps no longer offers its LC 120 U. Does anyone have any suggestion for an XLR module? Is someone using this adapter: Shure A15HP? In this context I would be interested in how the linked mode works on a Nova. Can you define different LowCuts for channels 1 and 2? I sent Sound Devices an e-mail…

Bublebee industries new DPA 406X concealer is the best one I have tried to this day. Softer flexible material is so much better for sticking on the inside of Tshirts without an obvious fabric bends and on uneven surfaces. The tape is the usual best we expect from Bubblebee. The metal buffer helps a lot keeping noisy objects away and the metal clip “ the design of which came from the design of the DPA slim and concealer “ is very easy for a corporate work compared to a old school regular clip. You can also clip on the inside of shirts “ for VIP people who do not want tape on their expansive clothing. I don’t see a reason to use the original Dpa concealers any more. Another…

Hi Soundguys!!! I have a Denecke Slate (TS-C). Las job the camera crew told me that they didn't saw the bolt nut that hang the knife in the slate. I'm in Brazil, so I didn't find this kind of bolt nut. So I'd like to make a nut in my 3D printer. Anyone know the kind of the screw inside the bold nut? Thanks, Grell

Hi all, tried without luck to look for an answer in archive - just too much up there! I have come across an F8, running v2, that just doesn't power up from alkaline batteries. All is fine from the 12v mains adaptor. (Haven't been able to test from the hirose in). Looking at the power settings, when running from mains, the AA battery graphic registers as empty (ie not connected). I expect this is a hardware powering problem but wondered if it might be a software glitch or if anyone has experienced similar? Haven't (yet) tried rebooting nor installing current software. Half expect sadly that it has been running happily via hirose for years and the problem hasn't…

With CyberMonday, and with the announcement of a new line of mixer bags, it may be that the promotional price of the backpack is a sign that it will also be updated. If you've wanted one, you probably knew about this price reduction already. So no FOMO. K-tek is definitely moving in the right direction. I picked mine up at Gotham (shameless plug!) about 6 weeks ago, and it was off to the races, lugging it up Broadway, under the JMZ, to a pickup location in Brownsville, then a ride to Long Island. I know it's going to be heavy, and what I will say so far, in order to address what it means to me in no necessary order: 1) the waist belt is every…

Hello, I just picked up a used Mix-8 and am having trouble configuring my Nomad 12T (v7.81) to respond to it. I power up Nomad first, then Mix-8. USB cable into the Serial port. Mix-8 LEDs light up and respond to faders. All of my Nomad’s internal faders are unassigned. External Faders 1-4 are set to analog 1-4. In Mode menu, I see no Mix-8 or Mix-12 related options. Can anybody offer help? Or did I maybe just buy one that isn’t working? Thank you for any help, Sean

I have a few pairs of 7506 headphones that need new pads. No, they don't just need Headphone Softies; they have those. But the foam pads are breaking (ok, have broken) down. What do you all recommend? Genuine Sony replacements? Wicked Cushion? Some generic thing from B&H or elsewhere? https://wickedcushions.com/collections/sony-mdr-7506-replacement-ear-pads Thanks, Jim

I recently (last week) had Pete Verrando convert a Schoeps CMC4 to CMC5 specs for me. My primary reason being being that I wished to feed the mic 48v Phantom. I am both a studio musician and an engineer that lives in a world of 48v, Phantom power and I particularly love the sound of this mic on acoustic guitar or mandolin with an MK 41 capsule.. Pete was quick, very reasonably priced, and the mic sounds great! If you have one of these older CMC4 Schoeps, do yourself a favor and have Pete upgrade it... (you can thank me later). I highly recommend the quality of his work, reasonable price, and great communication. 'nuff said.
