I am looking for an all-in-one rack mount solution since my client wants a more compact solution for a 4 MCR54 system. I was looking at the a10 rack, and it seems like there is no chance to output 16channels from what I know. However, on its website. they said So I am assuming it makes be able to output more than eight channels. I know there is an MRK16 coming out later this year but based on current states from Wisycom. I don't see any possibility for me to get it no later than next year. Or is there anything else that can to a signal and power distribution for mcr54?

I received my MCR 54 kit with 4 MTP 40S October 15th and have been using it for almost a month. I started a move on the 21st and just finished it this week. Observations: * Encoder mode needs to be included in the Sync function. * Range is great, I settled on 50 Milli watts. * Sound is very crisp and clean * Receiver output headroom exceeds my 688 and can be a problem. Getting the Attn right is a constant battle. * 40S transmitters are durable and last up to 5 hours on two enelope pro batteries * The expanded wide range is great, I have been using mine in the 653 to 663 range and have not changed the frequencies since the first day and a…

I'm looking for a hinging or articulating arm long LED light bar to light my follow cart work surface. I've seen something from Chindha that would mount to a rack unit, but would need something bigger. Would be lighting a 36" wide work surface. I thought about using a piece of 8020 or a putting a channel in a nice piece of hardwood and gluing an LED strip light in it. Somehow inserting a 1/4 20 threaded insert and attaching to a cinearm or articulating arm. Any ideas?

I'm looking to record wildlife sounds ~2ft to 15ft in front of me and off to the sides as well. I was really liked the Deity Microphones S-Mic 2based on the reviews I saw and the build quality even if the price was pretty steep. Now that I'm taking a second look I see a lot of people speaking into it from only a few inches away and I'm wondering if it has the reach to get out for sounds 2-15ft away. It's a shotgun but wasn't sure if the mic is what gives me the ability to listen to sounds up to 15ft away or if that's something I just control with my mic. Is there an Omni mic with the same sound quality out there? I will be leaving it in the woods for long periods (days) s…

Hi, So I have just bought some HI-Q batteries and a single bay charger ( replacing NP1’s) I just opened them today and the charger does not seem to be charging the batteries. The light stays a solid red, with or without a battery in the slot. Has anyone else experience any issues like this?

I remember reading somewhere here on this forum regarding the difference between digital and analog power output and why digital does not need a 250mW option, specifically on lectro transmitters. Can someone please point me in the right direction of what reading material or educate me on the difference? Reason I'm asking is Lectro just released the new DBSM and DBSMD transmitters and their power output settings differ from their SM counterparts. Thanks!

Hello, Newcomer into the Nothingham world and lead here due to my interest on sound and filmmaking. The Stabilizer Roller (60hz in my case) is stuck and not spinning freely. Is there a way to clean it? I see 3 small holes but wont risk trying to unthread bolts without knowing if the head is hexagonal, flat or even if there's a clip or similar. Any advice is welcomed,

Hi, I'm making a remote roll button for my 788T with a built in LED. The LED flashes when the machine is rolling thanks to the DE-15's logic out pin hooked to an Arduino. The whole circuit works perfectly fine when tested on my breadboard and powering the Arduino with it's 3.5V externally. I really wanted to power the remote roll button via the Ext. DC OUT pin on the 788's DE-15 connector so I can do everything with one VGA cable, but I'm having some trouble with the power that it outputs. I am using a DC to DC converter to step down the 13V coming out of my 788T's Ext. DC OUT pin to a usable 3.5V for the Arduino. When I connect the…

Does anybody know off hand what size screws to use for the Sanken CS-3e? Two of the three small screws on the inside have disappeared, I'm assuming they had somewhere more exciting to be. Emailed Sanken but have no idea when to expect a response from them.

Hi everyone! Was wondering if anyone experienced a similar thing. I had a shoot with a newly bought 833, wired 8060 directly to mic1 with phantom on obviously (and set to 48v). After about hour of shooting, the signal gets reeeally crunchy and distorted, i talk to the producer and switch to wireless MCR54 via AES on input 1. Everything is fine again. Since then, the 8060 just won't work on input 1 anymore! It sounds fine first, but after around 20min, the same thing happens. Until all i get is just a distorted mess. I don't have that problem on input 1 with a rode nt5, and the 8060 works fine on all other inputs. I …

Wow, just got an email from Sound Devices announcing firmware version 7 and an additional feature for the II Series: A Noise Assist plugin at $300. Previously it was MixAssist. So, I guess MixPres are doubling as an entry level hook for the Sound Devices "drug"

Hi all. Just thinking again. Today I was listening different preamplifiers, cabled, with a schoeps. Each has a different color, and personality. Pushing this differences forward, I start to thinking again about wireless booms. I know this subject was afforded so many times, but well, here I try to be reaaaaaly rigorous. I don't want to loose depth, I don't want to have a noisier floor. I want to be able to record very quiet sounds, with detail, and sharpness. I know, to have the same dynamic is not easy, but forget the situation where someone is whispering, and then yelling, but I want to be able to record whispers with transparency…

Hi. I´m trying to wire a sanken Cos-11 for a wisycom MTP40 with a lemo3 connector. I was following this diagram from Sanken website https://www.sanken-mic.com/en/qanda/index.cfm/11.53 that is originally for Zaxcom TRX900 transmitters but i found it in a forum here in jwsound recommended for the MTP40. I already did it, and the soldering looks ok. In the transmitter I selected "2wire+bias". if I put on the sanken, there´s some sound at very low level. it looks to me like the bias is not powering the capsule. tried to solder it again, just to be sure it was not about a bad contact... and the same. I made a similar solder…

Just got my SoundDevices Mixpre10II for less than a month. I was swaping it from a Ktek small to a more compact bag Ktek junior. When I pulled the 3.5mm jack... It just came out. Like waking up from a sweet dream. Sound Devices claimed not under warranty and cost 300 fix it。 Please when you got yours... be gentle... not as solid as you think.

Never had this problem before, any tips or advice if the battery door gets stuck? As you can see, even using a slotted screwdriver in one of the grooves seems insufficient... Please advise!

Just got word of this unit. For those that aren't familiar, Cedar has been the gold standard for noise reduction processing in post for years. Izotope finally negotiated the purchase of part of their algorithm which advanced the rx line considerably in past few years, but i still feel Cedar is king. This portable unit is very intriguing for certain situations. Especially if you can offer processed and unprocessed signals to post. Thoughts. http://www.cedaraudio.com/products/dns2/dns2.shtml

I'm running my Zoom F8 on a Talentcell 6000 mHz Li-On battery. I decided to add wireless, so now I need to power my SRb as well as my F8. Considering that I intend to keep adding to my kit, AudioRoot's BDS systems seem like they'll give me plenty of head room for expansion. If I buy their BG-DU, I'll be able to eventually upgrade to a an Inspired Energy battery, but for now is there any reason not to connect my Talentcell to a BG-DU, until I can afford the upgrade? Been researching a lot, and thought I'd run it by people with plenty of experience before making the purchase. Thanks y'all!

I need a suggestion of who I could send some old AC202CT Lockits to for a look-see and a tuning. They work fine, as far as I can tell, but haven't been serviced in any way in a long time. I understand that Ambient won't work on them anymore, but all I need (I hope) is just a session on that master clock-controlling thing they used to make for these. Favorite would be a service place in LA. thx

What are people using for combining Antennas for multi zone use? My use would be for the very odd occasion like I had last week with 3 cameras and a long walk n talk with 100 extras vehicles crane etc . If I could have put another set of antennas along the way would have been useful. Im thinking DC powered with a small footprint The one I’ve seen is the Wisycom CSA221 Which has 4 db of loss . Are there any other manufacturers who make combiners at a reasonable price..... I don’t really need a active combiner 3k unit ...
