  1. we had the cicadpocalypse down south here in NZ a few summers back it was madness they had to do a fairly big rewrite on the feature I was on for it to make sense, we were all going home shattered and exhausted because of the constant din and lots of crew were wearing earplugs fulltime I measured sound levels of up to 96 dBFS on a phone app I had - like definitely exceeding OSH regs by a considerable amount for noise exposure
  2. My 633 has worked at least 500 days possibly quite a few more thru rain / snow / seaapray / racecar dirt track etc without missing a beat and still sounds great - hopefully for quite a few more - I don't begrudge these repair prices
  3. your question makes no sense - go buy the cable you need, or learn to solder and make one
  4. Ive got ambient x 3, panamic x1, ktek x1 - My boom op swears by the panamic but I prefer him to use an ambient - it's quieter, and much prefer the ambients myself - I'm still regularly using the ambient I bought 15 years ago
  5. In my experience the jointed ones fail more often
  6. The 743 has a nicer preamp than the zmt, my zmt3 phs are noisy to the point that I don't use them for interior drama, let alone classical - don't know about zmt4s - I thought the cut off was 15khz - nothing a nice cable wouldn't fix
  7. Your top end might be in better shape than Giles' eh?
  8. 17 page walk and talk, not as dense as some of those - we were on a tracking vehicle, boom op had beta boom easyrig
  9. I've tried with 4098s a few times but the cubs always sounded better - the 4098s were very susceptible to noise from the car, less so when I used them without the cable, but still touchy
  10. I did a bunch of publicity videos for this - There wont be much of the original footage in the wild yet as it was in the vault until not long ago. Most of the audio is from mono 1/4 tape running at 15 ips used by the film crew with some of it on 8 track from the studio. There was 4x the audio as they just left the recorders running over the 22 days they were shooting - cameras were on/off a lot In plenty of places conversations were drowned out by cranked up amps ( on purpose and unintentionally ) - the Sound dept wrote ML software to split out everything, so much of it, especially the intimate conversations were not at all audible originally. There is a video showing comparison but not sure where this is available, it was shown to a bunch of press It's an pretty amazing watch hey
  11. Rubber monkey in New Zealand has a new one. Check their website
  12. Ive got a CS3e - picks it out but I rarely enjoy the sound of it - the cs-m1 sounds much nicer in this video to me
  13. I would hope not. 2.4 is becoming a swamp on set with all the other depts running gear on it
  14. Yep, considerably better - to the point where Im happy to go wireless boom all the time
  15. Not 100% if it’s the question but using MM into HMA and a straight HM on the daily - difference is night and day
