That'll be my motto here too. Same ol' same ol' ... 😄 Thanks for the comments for this ''updated'' thread !

Thanks a lot Derek and Rick. So it doesn't seem to change from G2 and up. I just checked my G2 cables and they're made that way (with floating ring). I remember plugging something like ten years ago and it didn't work with my G2 cables to brand new G3 unit at the moment so it's probably on the transmitters sides of things that Sennheiser changed something. Good news is, I got plenty of G2 cables so I don't need to solder some spares lol. Cheers.

Hi, I'll be working with G4 receivers this weekend which aren't mine. I still have those old beaten'up G2s in my kit but from memory, the receiver cable pinout changed from the G3 and up. Since I don't have the G4 cable with me and want to make 2 cables as spares for if something goes wrong, I'd just like to confirm the pinout for the G4 models if someone has it. The documentation about these cables for G4s is worse than ever. Thanks ! ... would be : tip to XLR2 and ring plus sleeve altogether to XLR1&3 ?

Reviving this thread ... anybody already tried these new ones from iPower ? 3008mAh and there is an 8-bay charger. The batteries are expensive, but the charger's got quite a good price that kind of balances it all. iPower iPowerMax AA3610 1.5V AA LiPo Rechargeable AA3610 B&H (bhphotovideo.com) iPower iPowerMAX AACU8 8-Battery LiPo Charger for AA3610 AACU8 (bhphotovideo.com)

I just stumbled into that and I think it could somehow be useful to load iOS9 on a cell or pad and be able to ultimately use the cl-wifi app again. 🤔

Looks like a press-fit brass bushing.

Brilliant. I never took time to think about that and always ended up with very doubtful velcro crappy solutions or simply tucking the whole thing into the side of the bag... 😆 Thanks, and cheers !

jawharp: would you have a video showing your setup by any chance ? If it works, that's great nonobstant the steps to make it work ! I'd say, in the end, anybody coming with a good & solid solution would be more than welcomed. I'd gladly pay for that option. It's such a shame that the 788 fell into that crack and nobody carried on.

God knows that I tried. I lost my coms with both Ambient (who had the bluetooth app for a moment, then stopped investing time into it) and also tried with Sound Devices if memory's good. I got these coms too, with New Endian and Timecode Systems. There definitely was a tie there... If that can help. I'd jump on any solution regarding this. 2019- To the guy who created Lectro RM and Freq Finder... Hi , thank you for your kind words. I did explore the CL-Wifi protocol at one point. At the time, there was a huge technical limitation imposed by Apple. It would seem that there is now an avenue around that limitation. The CL-WiFi used a WiFi mode that was awkward and rarely used, which means that manufacturers could change it, and screw up support for the CL-WiFi device. A replacement for the CL-WiFi would likely use Bluetooth in a similarly off-spec way. The protocol (the only one Apple allows without buying their MFi license) is not designed for streaming data (the Low Energy protocol). A generic adapter is available to bridge a serial line (like the 788 data port) to bluetooth low energy. Testing would be required to determine if the Low Energy protocol can handle the 788s data (which does include streaming timecode) When I tinkered with it before, I borrowed a friend's 788 when it wasn't on a job. I don't own one myself. At the time, when I considered writing a separate CL-WiFi app, there was no way to support both Android and iPhone, since Android no longer supported the ad-hoc mode that the CL-WiFi uses, and Apple didn't support the Serial to Bluetooth bridge that was available at the time. The 788 is a great device. I bet at this point Sound Devices might even just give me the spec. But I'd still need an actual 788 (and the bluetooth bridge) just to test to see if it's worth pursuing. Best, James Wow, I didn’t realize it involved these kind of protocols for the non-initiated to programming people I am part of..! I even thought of a physical remote that would work once and forever to be able to operate the 788 without the constraints of constantly upgrading/developping but I’m useless at programming, like I said . Yesterday again, a guy sold two 788s on our private soundpeople group here in Montreal. In a snap. I’d so much like to encourage you in some way to keep on looking at an alternate solution for us who still use this *still stellar* machine; it’s got its age, sure, but it still rocks ! Thanks a lot for answering, that cleared up questions regarding why both Sound Devices (wifi) and Ambient (Bluetooth) had to leave it there at some point, which is so sad. Have a good day 2018- Development dept. at Timecode Systems Hi, I just got three USO units and they're great. Now, I see a wifi Master unit for sale and the price is nice except I don't know if both will work together ? My guess is they'll communicate for TC (using the :master in my bag to send TC to USOs on set) but I'll be limited to using the older Timecode Buddy App on my iPhone to get functions from the :master right ? Blink app won't work with :Master, am I right ? Also: is there any development concerning bridging the system to a Sound Devices 788 ? they abandonned development for their CL-wifi app and lots of sound people are kind of caught with that lack of support… there's still a lot of those machines on the market so that's why I'm asking. Thanks Thanks for getting in touch ! The WiFi Master will communicate over RF to the UltraSync ONE's this is correct The Blink HUB app is for :wave and :pulse only , the WiFi Master can be used with the Timecode Buddy App Unfortunately there is not any development bridging the system to a 788 , i will pass this on to to developers to find out more Thank you Regards Tom Fawlk Timecode systems - Product Support

...might fix it for ''size'' (for ''battery'' though, it'd have to be as is 🙃 ) ADX1M - Micro Bodypack Transmitter - Shure USA

Yes it's somewhere in the menus; I tested all the cards I got through time

You could borrow some recently released cards and perform the ''788 memory test'' (somewhere in the menus) to know if those cards would fit ?

Same here ! Transcend cards, along with Sandisk but mainly Transcend

Just never ever use freqs between 486.400 and 495.600 . Use a P-Touch to put those freqs somewhere you could easily check at any time.

You might try with this guy 🙂 efksound-3D | Facebook

Well, one thing I've been saying for a few years now is that the gear we buy, at that price, should be totally waterproof. That'd be the next BIG thing to me.

Seems there's issues with battery telemetry now; showing ''depleted'' batts that are not and different percentages from full batts. Apparently, the Bluetooth app's coming soon though 👍 igomarsound: how did it go with battery times and about files if recording is interrupted ?

Thanks a lot for your input about this ! I will make ''standard'' battery swaps, it's just that I'd be using two different types of batteries, hence the two cups (slowly converting from NP1s to HiQs as my NP1s die). I wouldn't be using two batteries at the same time. So that's good news. Cheers

I remember having seen a topic on the forum with a 2-batts rig and wondererd if it's as simple as having two battery cups mounted in parallel to feed the distro ? My NP1s are slowly fading away and I'd take the opportunity to go from NP1s to the lighter Hi-Q batts in the process. I'd simply buy a new batt and single charger, put a battery cup in parallel with my NP1 cup in my bag and go from there. Now, usually, things are not that simple; would that be a situation where it is indeed ''just that'' and I can pop the champagne ?

😳❗

well... not much noise here. 🤨 I wonder if they sold a lot of these units ?

loctite 🤓

1795 U$

In the manual, I see runtimes when both transmitting and recording , but not while the unit is simply transmitting wothout recording... ?
