Try Cordial or Klotz cables. Don't remembers the exact models, but you can find small diameter ones

Thanks! 

I'm looking for a protection/case for my wisycom MTB40S transmitter. I'm starting a long project with lot of exteriors and harsh weather. What do you People use?

I have had no problems with these:

 

SanDisk 64GB Extreme SDXC UHS-I - 150MB/s, C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXV6-064G-GNCIN

 

Currently have 6x of these in rotation. Formatting almost every day (when that is  an option).

Watchout with the pro version (Black) . I've had some errors. Not-pro seems to work fine

Hi, I've just bought a 6 pin lemo cable audio input cable (K2.0023988) for the Alexa Mini LF that is un-terminated and need to solder on a 5 pin XLR. I'm confused that there is both a ground wire (black) that is wired to pin 1 of the lemo and a shield that's connected to the body of the lemo.

Please can anyone let me know which wires I connect to pin 1 of the XLR? Do I just connect the shield to pin 1 and discard the black ground wire? Or connect both the ground and the shield to pin 1?

Regards,

Ian

I have the same question. Do i solder the 3,5 jack sleeve to line-, ground or both?

Hello, 

 

does anyone knows where to find LMR240 UF or RG8X in Europe without buying 1 kilometer of cable?

 

It seems hard.

 

Thanks

I get the rg-8x in Poland from here:

Maybe they could ship it to other european country

As well as a low price

This. Pianissimo is more than 2x Supershield

Cosi and Super Shield are meant for different situations. I consider the Cosi mostly an indoor shield which is suitable for light to medium wind outdoors. Anything stronger requires a full shield and if it comes down to those two, ypu should go with the super shield or try to save up for the piano. 

Thx! I thought so. So it will be the full blimp.for indoors i use a bubblebee spacer kit

Hi

I know it was in other topics, but i still have a hard choice between cosi vs super shield for my 8060. Piano would be perfect, but i need 2 and it's out of budget right now. Super shield is the chepest Option but i Wonder which of those two would give me better wind protection. 

Any advice?

switched from Pianissimo to Nano Shield CB about 5 months ago, feel the Nano Shield is lighter than Pianissimo, handling noise about the same (using vdb boom pole), and it's much better switch between indoor/outdoor with the nano shield as you can take off the basket (not possible with pianissimo). Now I use pianissimo only for ms boom, and nano shield for mono boom. 
The construction and material from nano shield and pianissimo is very similar, from my experience there's not much difference with wind protection. 

Didn't you experience the resonance that people had using smaller mics with nano? I'm searching for a good blimp upgrade for my 8060s. Can't decide between super-shield, nano and cinela..... price is a factor, but if it's worth it i could spend some more

i tested the k-tek junior-x bag but went for the small-x. junior is nice if you've got not to many other stuff like receivers etc. for me it was a little to small to fit everything. still to get to the jogwheell, you have to keep the right part unzipped, but i think it's a little better then orca. if possible i use an external controller, wingman and touch screen to use the jog as little as i can

Hi

So the idea is to connect the modded g3 receivers (sma mod) to psc multi rf splitter. When connecting i get a huge ground loop noise. The splitter is connected by dtap to a bp-u battery along with mixpre 10 II and sennheiser ek3241. I don't get any noise in the ek3241. Only g3s. Only solution is to connect the psc splitter to different battery but that means two batteries. I tried grounding the g3 to d-tap and also using a groumd-lifted cable. No difference. Any ideas?

Originally I had Sony 7509’s(a big part of it was I preferred the physical deign over the 7506)(still have one or two pair), then one of my guys turned me on to Ultrasone’s about eight years ago and the PRO 900’s* have been the ‘A’ set, ever since.

 

*I got them for about half of what they are selling for, now.

looks nice, but these are pretty expensive

ok. so i used the search, but didn't find a topic of which headphones do you all sound mixers use. for years i used classic 7506, but lately one side gave up. repaired them, but i'm thinking of getting something new. tried dt-770, sennheiser hd-25, hd-280pro and few more. didn't like them much... i'm leaning towards ATH-M50x. what do you guys use for everyday location recording?

SrC’s and filters are a must . 
 

 

I thought about that. Which filters would you recommend?

The thoughts I have are:

 

1. The 788 was fairly well known for radiating RF - have you tried the setup with the recorder off? I realize this isn't a useable solution, but may point to part of the issue. 

2. The Betso antennas are wideband, and may be picking up strong out-of-band RF energy, which doesn't make your receivers happy. 

3. You may be in an area or on a location where there is a lot of RF energy - again, out of band, but may be affecting your system.

4. As others have asked - how are you choosing your frequencies? This can have a major effect on performance. First, any hops or IFBs should be as far away physically and frequency-wise from your talent channels as possible. 

5. Consider adding passive filters. This is becoming more necessary with the very crowded UHF spectrum and high-energy sources outside the band (Walkies in 450-470, 5G in the 600 Mhz band)

6. You don't mention the age of your units or the firmware versions - there have been many revisions to the SRc over the last 5 years. Yours may be due for a checkup by our techs. 

7. Are your receiver antennas remoted away from the bag? This can help a great deal. 

8. Someone else asked about your distro - lower quality units can have issues with strong out-of-band RF energy. 

1. Will try that, but the SD is separated from the receivers with cl8

2. Tried with sennhsier antennas. Which narrowband antennas would you recommend? 

3. Location doesn't matter. Everywhere it is the same. Int or ext

4. Frequencies are chosen by smartscan on every channel, followed by freqfinder check. Hops are usually away, closer to camera/video village

5. I have to try that

6. The src and transmitters are about 2 years old. Never worked Good... 

7. The antennas are usually far away

8. The distro is lectrosonics octopack. Earlier it was psc splitter. Same thing On both

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 service and they claim that everything is fine...

We are out of ideas...

You can record the standard 1 through to 8 ISOs as per normal (with anything you like being sent to them), but the 9th & 10th "ISOs" are via recording Bus 1 & 2 (I've taken this approach numerous times, to squeeze the max out of my 833). Thus you can't include these last two "ISOs" in your standard mix (just bring up on the fader the next nearest physical source for a rough-ish mix).

As for how you physically get 10 inputs into your 833, I do that via the additional AES inputs I gain from using an XL-AES attached to my 833. But using an SL-2 is definitely another approach you can take as well. 

That is some Good info:) I don't need to send the bus track (stereo mic) to the mix. It's Just there for post. I would go for the 888, but the budget is limited and i have to get some New wireless setup too

Hi

Is it possible to route and record xlr input to buses as isos, while using the SL2 on 833?

i often use 8 channel of wireless + stereo mic setup. I want to record mix also. 

The idea is to use 2xwisycom mcr54 receiver in SL2 and a stereo mic. 

Now i've been using mixpre 10 with sd302 connected to channel 9-10, but looking for upgrade

I’ve been using COS11 for many years and never had one break

maybe I’m just lucky?
Ive had B6s go bad and a couple of 4061s go but never a Sanken

It's not Just me. I have a bag of broken sankens (about 5) from my friend... 

Mostly documentary and feature, so size does matter. Sankens aren't tiny but most of the time i manage to hide them well

I'm looking for the strongest lav mic. I was mostly using sanken, but all of them broke... They tend to fail near the head and the grills Come of. I even try to use them as gently as i can, but it's only matter of time. I also used some sennheisers mke. Mke-1 has a very thin and stiff cable and the mke 2 Gold has a lot of cable noise. I heard that dpa micro dot isn't great either...

Hi People!

I'm would like to buy some new gear this year. Preferably a new field recorder. Do you think it's a good idea to buy something now or wait for some new releases? any rumours? 

http://soundcart.audio/

heard a lot of good words. i don't own one, but want to order some time. also i used bebop cart-bag once. nice.

Yes. It's a pain in the b... The only way i found working is to find a good spot, as you wrote. The worst scenario is a teradek between you and talent. So i try to avoid it. Putting the antennas high could also help but could be tricku in some places. I think it has to do with intermodulation or frequency harmonics. Even different frequency range can cause issues
