Ok, the app is public now. You can find it here It does all that is promised, and a bit more. Aimed at you having to do as little work as possible, but I can imagine it will be a HUGE timesaver in post. Now, I've done my best (to my horror I now see i've been working a month on it.) to accommodate all needs, but I'm an editor and coder, not a sound guy. So, there probably are more improvements to make. Don't by shy with comments! Oh, fair warning: If you run the demo: Offloading will do no harm to your files. Altering the metadata / setting timestamps WILL! (It will add 2 seconds of silence every 25 seconds.)

That does look like a five pin connector. Pretty clever, but no.

All my SM have fixed antennas, so I have a couple of universal COS-11 in the event I need to use my external mag-mount antennas for car work with my older non-servo 400s. I know I have noticed minor differences in various combinations of Tx and wiring schemes, but in the typical lav environment (noisy ambiance, walk and talks, wides, etc.) I find the difference unimportant. But if you have someone wired to cover a very quiet performance in a very quiet scene, you'll probably find servo wiring in a servo unit to be the lowest self-noise. Robert

" How would you characterize the difference? " most noticeable: levels that said, there is a reason that there is a specific wiring for servo bias and thus many of us tend to order most of any new mic's wired for servo once we have some servo TX's.... by definition, the universal wiring is a compromise...

I find that the universal wiring on a cos 11 is a bit noisier going into a servo TX. YMMV.

Anyone else have thoughts or experiences on this?

Hi Matt, Thanks for re-trying the experiment and the update. Best Regards, Larry Fisher Lectrosonics

Saint Wireless is here.

Well I'm even more confused now. Having had the opportunity this morning to perform some controlled tests with my two SMa's and six SMDB's with all my microphones (servo and non) everything appears to be correct. The non servo appear to be approximately 8-10db louder than the servo wired mics which now don't hiss on my SMa's. So I'll need to chalk it down to tiredness, gain structure employed on the mixer (so was hearing more circuitry noise due to to higher gain on that channel),the quite room I was filming in when I "thought" my SMa's were hissing and/or maybe not seating the mic correctly into the transmitter? Mystery solved I guess? Thanks Larry and Jim.

Hmmm.... as you say Larry "Something is very wrong here." I'll grab my 6 hours sleep and head off to work again. I'll do what yourself and Jim have asked and report back. Thanks again Larry. In the meantime feel free to chip in with any constructive ideas everyone.

Hi Matt, The 400 mode is digital hybrid. The 200 mode, IFB mode, and other modes all emulate companded systems. Cheers, Larry F
