  1. I did have the equipment checked by a professional technician and also consulted with the vendor. The conclusion was that the wireless system was working correctly, and that the hiss could be due to using the B3 with relatively high gain levels (which I’m forced to do since I’m now working in a production where actors are mostly whispering all the time) I’ve been sporadically working on film and tv sound production since 2006. I use a couple of Lectrosonics systems and a Sound Devices 788, and I’m quite sure to be using correct gain settings along the signal path. I’m not experiencing problems with the Lectros, and not either with a Evolution 500G2 I have to use occasionally (all of them with Tram TR50s). Do you think a higher sensitivity mic, such as a DPA 4060, would help me to capture my whispering actors better than the Countryman B3? Following the opinion of the vendor, this would probably reduce the hiss. The problem is that I don't have one 4060 at hand to check it out before buying it, that's why I was curious about other people's opinion about this system
  2. The tone of actor's voices is well captured, but I find the hiss to be a bit excessive for a professional level equipment. Is anyone experiencing some hiss using this wireless system?
  3. I've recently purchased a Shure UHF-R portable system (UR1M transmitter and UR5 receiver) and I'm using it with a brand new Countryman B3 lav (regular sensibility). RF works fine, but I'm experiencing a noticeable hiss in the audio reception. I've tried with all kinds of gain-sensibility-output level combination, and also tried with various frequencies in non congested environments, but the problem doesn't go away. Any suggestions? By the way, I'm a newcomer to jwsound and I find it to be an immense treasure of sound knowledge!
