  1. Sorry to bring back this old topic, but I was curious about what the general consensus was with these frequencies now. I've read on here that there was a little 'wad of something' in the lower frequencies of block 28 (back in June). Any ideas about what it's like now? What are people's predictions? It's probably obvious that I'm asking for selfish reasons. I'm considering buying a used Lectro 200 set in block 28 and I just didn't want to screw myself in the near future. Is it better to hold off on a used set in the lower blocks?
  2. Sorry, I'm an idiot! Well, I'm obviously not a battery guru. But, I also miraculously ignored the fact that the lithium Ipower battery that you all were referring to was, in fact, actually rechargeable! This whole time I thought the lithium 9v you were referring to wasn't rechargeable... :/ So, now I look like a fool... and therefore this thread should be deleted at once!!! Seriously though, I'm sorry about that. And really, thanks for the help and information guys. The choice is actually as clear as day now. Thanks.
  3. I guess this is just the hippie part of me that wanted to go green instead of contributing to the pile of battery waste. I was unsure about the quality of modern NiMH 9 volts, but now I'm glad I asked : ) After reading this, I'll probably not end up going the NiMH route now. But if I do, I'll be sure to post my results. Thanks again.
  4. Interesting and informative post 'studiomprd', thanks. So it seems like the general consensus here is that nobody likes the NiMH batteries when it comes to 9 volts. I personally own the AA Maha NiMH batteries, and I think they're great. They definitely don't last as long as regular batteries, but I feel like they are still worth it. I take it the technology for 9 volts are just a little behind??? When was the last time somebody tried one out in a Comtek? "I used an earlier generation of 9v NiMH batteries before the iPower was available... They do not run a Comtek with small headphones for a full production day. I found that to be pretty useless. Money wasted." <--- How long ago was this? http://www.thomasdistributing.com/shop/maha-9v-300-mah-nimh-rechargeable-battery-p-503.html?SP_id=&osCsid=qh39gjiqm5l6nup6od11bac2n0 This new battery (see link) specifically says, "excellent for pro audio". i wonder...
  5. I couldn't find anything... hence the post. But if it was already posted, I apologize.
  6. Thanks Vin. Actually, I did do some research on the forums before posting. But I couldn't quite find what I was looking for. I am looking for something a little more specific, such as, an A-B test between the newest Maha / Ipower 9 volts. I doubt anyone has had the chance to use both, and they're probably really close in comparison anyway, but I figured it was worth a shot. I guess if you own a MAHA 9v charger/battery, or an Ipower 9v charger/battery; feel free to post how long your battery approximately lasts and the average charge time. (and specify what you are using the battery for) Thanks.
  7. Thanks John, that makes sense. I appreciate your help.
  8. Has anyone here done a test between the "Ipower 9 Volt 260 mAh" and the "MAHA 9 Volt 300 mAh" batteries? Or, how about the Ipower VS MAHA chargers? I have MAHA AA's and they work great, so I'm leaning towards the MAHAs for 9 volts... I just wanted to see if anyone has used both before and noticed a huge difference. Also, it looks like there are two different MAHA 9 volts available: The 9V 300 mAh and the 9.6V 230 mAh . On the Thomas Distributing website it says that "most commercial 9V rechargeables are actually 8.4V and don't work well in paintball hoppers and many other applications." I'm assuming there isn't a problem with the 9V 300 mAh from MAHA though, because it specifically says "Excellent for Pro Audio, Wireless microphones..."
  9. Interesting topic. I actually just bought some Comtek PR-216s and was unaware of this phasing issue. I have a related question though: If i'm using a Sound Devices 302 with my M-216 option 7 / PR-216 setup; what cable should I be using to feed my M-216 transmitter? I bought a "Remote Audio TA3F - Stereo 1/8 Right Angle, WIRED MONO, 24 inches" cable from Trew already (still have yet to test it out, waiting for my Transmitter...). But I was wondering, since this cable was "wired mono" coming into the transmitter, will there still be that phasing issue at the receiver-->headphone end. Did I even get the right cable? Should I get the wired stereo version to have options of, let's say, having a boom guy only listen to one channel (his boom track out of my mixer). I was actually under the impression that the transmitter could only transmit mono signals in the first place, but now I'm confused.
