Is anyone familiar with these guys? Looks to be pretty much the same as listen or Comtek systems, but I just came across them in a Full Compass catalog. http://www.williamssound.com/productdetail.aspx?product_id=210 Tom

We just got the formal written lab reports on the CE tests for the UCR411a receiver and the units passed all tests. Since this is a receiver and not a transmitter, we don't have to wait 30 days or so for approval from each country's regulatory body before taking orders. Best, Larry F Lectro

Hello, I just purchased 2 smwb transmitters, and the units have extremely poor battery performance, about 20 minutes before completely draining the power. I checked the settings on device, and I’m using 25w power. i have lithium batteries installed in both devices, and thumbscrew is locked tight. Tried different battery brands but same performance , about 20 mins. Am I missing some critical setting somewhere? In the manual I noticed there is mention of applying silver paste to the thumbscrew to reduce resistance, would that actually work? thank you for your help in advance

Hi everybody, I’m thinking about the best antenna for my bag setup: - 888 - AudioWireless DADM226 distribution - Wisycom MCR42 and MPR30 Recievers My dealer sold me 1/2 wave Shure antennas: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1434782-REG/shure_ua8_470_636_wideband_antenna_for_front.html But I'm not happy with the lenght, as stick out of my bag pretty much. So I'm thinking about 1/4 wave antennas. The DADM BNC connectors are next so each other so I have to put at least one cable for one antenna to have different positions. I'd also like to mount at least one of the antennas to my ORCA harness at shoulder height to have a higher posi…

Doing a job in Montreal and wondered if ideally Channel 38 would work okay with radio mics using Audio Ltd 2040 freq 606.050-630.200? Otherwise I could use Wisycom's 566.0-798.0? Or is neither of these anyone know of hire options in Canada? Any Ideas anyone. Many thanks.

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 …

Im having issues getting any return signal from the F950 CineAlta. It is receiving signal just fine at the deck. Earphone volume on front of the camera is set at 10. New snake so doubt its a cable issue. Also tried with headphones and just get hiss in left ear. Is there some kind of menu setting to get the earphone return on the back of the camera to output? Is the Earphone a mono connection?

Can anybody narrow down what this noise on my Lectro SMDWB's might be? I've tried different mics (all cos11d), different batteries, different frequencies, different microSD cards and it's happening on both of my SMDWB's. Seems to be only when recording directly to the microSD. First file is while recording to microSD. Second is recording to my 633. Apologies for the standard "Hey Hey Hey" Check.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a shotgun mic repair facility somewhere in Southern California. My Audio-Technica BP4073 recently started sending out nothing but harsh static. I've checked cables, capsule placement, different connectors and recorders, etc., and nothing makes a difference. I've sent a message to Audio-Technica service but just in case I run into a problem from them, I would like additional options. If you know of anyone in SoCal or elsewhere that I could get an estimate from, I would be grateful. Thanks.

I'm considering the possibility of purchacing a DPA 4060 after watching an RFLO Sound video on youtube. In it, he was comparing the DPA 4060 with the Sanken COS-11. After doing my own research I noticed there was more than one version of the DPA-4060 such as: the DPA 4060-BM, 4060-OC-C-B00, 4060 Hi-Sens. What's the difference between all of these? Also can I purchase them with adapters either, Sennheiser or Lectrosonics? I want to be able to work with both.

My cart isn't 19" so I need to find someone that can make me a custom made aluminum drawer. I've seen some company in the U.S. That makes these but can't find any I Europe. I I bought a half rack drawer but it's made of steel (weight a lot) and isn't really the right size. Anyone here know where to look? I'm located in Sweden. Kind regards John

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum, glad to be here. So i bought an 833, and am quite surprised that there are not really good powering options on my eyes. I can't get my hands on a smartbattery-cup with two outputs to Hirose/Ta4. So i'd have to go the route of using a hirose-Ta4 cable, which isn't really supported due to the increased power draw (I wouldn't use onboard charging though). How do you power your 8-Series? Thanks and happy recording - Martin

Hi all, Wondering if anyone might be able to help me out with a suggestion. I'm searching for a small recorder with the only essential function being the ability to record 6-8 channels of AES inputs to a BWF-P. Microphone preamps or analog line inputs aren't in any way necessary. Timecode and metadata would be a plus but aren't absolutely required. Small footprint and price are essential. Done some digging around but haven't found anything yet...just wondering if anyone else has. Thanks if you can help!

Here's an impressive new mixer from Mackie utilizing the iPad and its wi-fi capabilities... Great for live sound reinforcement and plenty of other uses. While I appreciate the onboard 2-channel mix recording capability, it would have been great if Mackie had implemented a FireWire throughput on the chassis to allow for multichannel iso's to be recorded separately to an outboard device. Another great feature it has is the ability to allow playback from any app available on the iPad. This opens the door to convenient on-set playback scenarios. For just under $1000 (less iPad), this appears to be a very versatile mixer with a tiny footprint. As fo…

Hi everyone, Discovered the T.H.E. microphones recently, and have been hearing all sorts of claims about them (most notably that they cost way less than a Schoeps mk41 but approach it in terms of performance)... I also heard you used them on Samurai - is that true Jeff? Or just internet rubbish? Id be keen to hear what you folks think, as I cannot afford a Schoeps, but the T.H.E. fits in perfectly right now...

On my past 2 jobs I've had some issues with my new 788T. 1) Tracks unarming themselves although there are inputs routed to them and the associated front panel control is on. 2) Although both CF and HDD lights are green while recorder is stopped, when record is engaged I am occasionally getting warning beeps and record pending message (only 4 tracks powered up at 24/48 and drive formatted at start of 2 day commercial shoot) Has anyone else experienced these problems> I have contacted SD about the issues and have also loaded 2.0 Firmware, cant replicate the problems on the bench however.

Hey Everyone, just wanted to let you know that I successfully combined a Zaxcom and WisyCom Sytem together in one Antennatree. I used the Antenna output of the PSC SixPack to feed the MicPlexer2 and from there on went to 2 digital Dual Channel Zaxcom Recievers and one WisyCom analog Dual Channel Reciever. I wasn´t shure if that System would work or if I would get in trouble especially with the WisyCom Reciever beeing fed by the MicPlexer2. But so far everything seems to work fine without any RF loss. cheerz Urs

Hi I've noticed that when I mark the same take twice, the mirror folder only shows one. For example, I roll on S1T1 and mark it. And then I roll S1T1 again and mark it again. When I do that, it only shows one S1T1X in the mirror folder. There should obviously be 2 marked takes in the folder. In fact the primary folder shows 2 marked takes. Has anyone encountered this issue? And how did you solve it?

Browsing Facebook this morning I find: And here are some preliminary spec/test results (that Rycote posted on Facebook...I have no inside info). I asked about the no filter/EQ/rolloff line, and Rycote wrote "will have to get back to you on that one with some updated testing" so perhaps they're still tweaking (or just haven't published) that...

Has any CMIT user had experience with 4017C as the 2nd booming, particularly when the 2nd boom is for the crowd sound or when both booms are for characters talking in a noisy environment, like in the rain or a busy street. Do they match well? Are there gonna be any problem with mixing them in the post? Thanks
