Hello, Just checking if there are wireless IEM manufacturers who used to sell systems in the US which included the 863-865 frequencies. The new ones don't. Looking for client monitoring solutions for the UK. One possibility is the "open" 863-865 frequencies. Thought I might keep an eye out for some used stuff that might work and not be too costly. New systems are costly, and still may not be ideal. Used systems appear scarce. Robert

A few days ago my 664 decided to get grumpy with me (and I only show the lil bastard love). The 10 pin Output A sends audio at unbalanced levels to the camera. Channel 2 will send audio at about half the level of channel 1. This only happens for about 10-15 minutes though, then it pops back up without reason. Sometimes it will pop back down randomly too. I've already tried swapping out my snake and pig tail to the camera. I've also tried different cameras, so I've eliminated the possibility of it being other gear. Also, Output B works just fine. Nothing is visibly wrong, but I'm wondering if it's been damaged. I'm going to bring it in to the shop for a look-see, but I …

Hello, first post here o/ Newcomer into the Nagra world and lead here due to my interest on sound and filmmaking. I got a Nagra IV-S TC and just started testing it. My first question is a simple one, or so I hope. The Stabilizer Roller (60hz in my case) is stuck and not spinning freely. Is there a way to (remove and) 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. I don't want to force or break anything hence my post here first. Any advice is welcomed, Best Aljo

Can one of these camera's sync the other's timecode? I've been told that the 900 TC fr is 23.98 and the 2700 TC fr is 29.98, so they cannot sync. I've tried to do it in free run (with a bnc), to no avial. I've also tried to use an smbt and external clock, but I couldn't get one of them (I now forget which one) to synch. Has anybody done this from one camera to the other with a simple bnc? Or, if you've done this with a lockit box or smbt, or smart slate, what was the frame rate that worked? Thanks. Jcc

As long as I have input 1 mapped to channel A, will I hear any difference when monitoring input 1 versus channel A? I haven't so far, but I'm still getting used to this unit. It seems like level controls affect both the same, and low cut and limiting as well. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something by monitoring input 1 rather than channel A.

So I've tried finding someone on the WTB/FS section, but I figured I would ask here too. I'm selling a full PD606 kit with 2 v mounts, case and harness. If anyone is interested or knows of anyone interested, let me know! Also, outside of selling to single person online, are there any other options in selling? Thanks

There's not a lot of user info on this mic, not too common - but anyone have their own experiences to chime in with? It's more expensive than the DPA5100, which is my other logical choice, but I like the fact that it has a traditional mono shotgun capability, more traditional form factor, and actually don't need an LFE channel in the field. The 5100 can have it's LFE filter disabled?

Hi All, I'm curious about the perceived value of the 744T. I'm thinking about upgrading to the 644 or 688 due to a need for higher track counts, but I'm curious as to what a realistic return is for my 744T. It's in great condition and I just sent it in to SD for small fixes. Gotham, TAI, and B&H offer between $1,300-$1,500 but it feels like I'm losing a lot because of their need to (understandably) turn a profit. Cheers!

Hello. I am a new user to the forum here. Thanks, in advance for any help you can offer. Yesterday, I had a battery (DTAP on a V-mount) short out. In my small kit, it feeds power to mixer (F8), (2x) lectro 411a and (1x) 401. When I plugged in the DTAP plug it sparked a little... so I stopped and did not fully insert the plug. The result is confusing to me... The 411's both will no longer power up by the power supply. The 401 is fine as well as the mixer. The 411's work fine and will power up by internal batteries no problem. If they are powered up on internal batteries and you plug in the power supply cable, they power down. You can remove the cable and they come …

After recording for the past 4 days on my 744t, I just transferred all the files to a drive. After I pulled the FW cable from the computer and tried to power it down for the night, I got the screen that says powering down, closing media, however, it hadn't shut down. After I pulled the battery, restarted it, and tried to power it down again, the same thing happened. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, what should I do? Before someone gets on my back about contacting the manufacturer, it's Friday night at 12:20 AM in San Juan, Puerto Rico and I could really use a cold beer right about now. Thanks in advance for your collective help. Marc

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a new zeppelin for my KMR82i. The one I've been using is much longer than the mic and probably designed for a longer shotgun. Does anyone have any suggestions on a high quality blimp and windsock? Thanks in advance!

There is a TC in plug on the QRX 235. So how do I jam TC from an external source like a Sounddevices 663? I tried to find it in the menu and the manual but couldn't find it. I can only find how to jam TC via Zaxnet or UHF signal. Any ideas?

Cleaning out boxes and found an almost new 187 transmitter. Thinking I would pair this a few of the new R1A-VHF receivers. But I find deviation in the specs for the IFB of 20khz and the transmitter 15khz. Guessing the audio would be thin and pinched!! Thoughts??????

With the new release of the Wingman app/bluetooth dongle I know some bag mixers may be considering working an iPhone into their setup. For myself, the quickness of renaming tracks and scene names may make it worth it. That being said, have any of you guys/gals out there experimented with mounting an iPhone/iPad mini to your bag? Any pics or link? I've seen plenty of chatter over mounting options in regards to the cart, but haven't seen or heard much in the way of the bag. I've found this mount designed for a golf bag that could possibly work : https://www.amazon.com/Mount-Dedicated-Holder-iPhone-20320/dp/B00O92SM7I

Hey Guys, I have a bag with a Mixpre 10T in it and 4 channels of UCR411a's and 1 TRXCL3. I have always kind of had RF issues, certainly not great performance as I have had in the past when using this gear in other situations. Im just using the 1/4 wave antennas thats come with the UCR's and TRX. The TRX seems to do mostly okay but my lavs can be really spotty to the point I don't trust them as much as I need to. I do not work in an area where there is a lot of RF around, quite the opposite in fact as I work out on a massive ranch most the time. So nothing local is messing with me. I've cleaned up cabling as much as possible, and lift…
