  1. A good automix, and auto-mute would be good to have - so useful for commercials.
  2. Gotcha. I don’t have experience mixing brands with different latency. Is there a noticeable difference requiring input delay when mic placement, and distances vary between subjects?
  3. I’m curious are there any downsides to looping in other brands of wireless with the Nova? My market in Vancouver is pretty much 100% Lectrosonics so Im planning to do 4 lectro wires and 4 zax wires, allowing me to still have compatibility with other mixers and easy access to repair/back ups when necessary. Aside from fitting the lectros into the 35mhz spacing in the Nova, are there any other factors I should be considering/aware of when combining digital and analog/digital hybrid wireless?
  4. Cool. Going to check it out. As someone who’s worked as a utility on episodic (wiring almost anything that moves) it’s interesting to hear of a mixer handling all the wiring duties on a show.
  5. Ooo. Thats a nice size for a MS config. Cant say I get enough work to justify it but on the occassional doc that wants it - thats what Id want to have in the blimp!
  6. Thats too bad. I thought they were going to address this issue with the 6060s snap on but sounds like it hasnt made a difference..
  7. Needs to be sent to lectro for removal, and will cost a couple hundred I believe.
  8. I'd 2nd that its worth having in your kit. It's by no means the go to wiring method but good to have in your back pocket when nothing else is working. Mostly comes in play for hairy or sweaty scenarios...
  9. Good stuff! I think the more products we have focused on healthy ergonomics the better.
  10. I have a question regarding the RA lo profile connectors. Making a jumper cable from mic to plug on, and I cant figure out how to lock the removable black remote audio cap to the actual neutrik connector part. Right now its fully removable, but when in operation how do you lock it down? Im expecting an obvious answer but I cant figure it out this morning !
  11. Id just go high on your main subject. Boom or wire I always still pick up baby breathing under the track hehe.
  12. Just saw the email from trew. Looks like an awesome product! I wanted to go with LT/LRs but was turned off due to battery consumption. Looking forward to checking these out!
  13. I've recently picked up an HMA for a project and will be making a couple low profile cables to go from the mic end to the plug on which will be at the top of the pole. Whats your preferred cable gauge for this? Already have some Canare L-4E6S, but was considering a thinner gauge star quad cable for an even smaller profile. Would the thicker cable gauge provide better shielding against potential RF interference? Im sure it has its plus's for being more resistant to wear and tear. Curious as to what others have been doing.
  14. Where are you located? A trip to your local army surplus or hiking/outdoors store will give you loads of good options in the form of utility pouches or fanny packs for a much more reasonable price (and weight!).
  15. Wow - alot of people are going to be happy to see this. So useful for commercials.
  16. If youre looking for something to move between drama and doc Ive found a pole that can go from approx 3-12ft to cover most situations. For travel gigs I find it useful to pick up a smaller pole, which also comes in handy if you need to jump in a car or boom around other tight spaces. You wont go wrong with any of the brands mentioned above...
  17. I ran into this problem once with my k tek internally cabled pole. The quick fix was to use an external star quad cable. Thats good to hear theyve improved on the design.
  18. Likewise, my mp6 has been flawless since Ive got it. Have been using it heavily the past year, guess Ive always been on the right firmware 😉 Looks like they just released 3.01 to remedy the bugs Allen mentioned.
  19. +1 Another good mod is to get a small rubber grommet from home depot to fit around the knob which makes it easier to use. Did that to mine and it feels like a 7 series headphone encoder. Way easier to use. IMO the K tek bag for the mix pre is too bulky. A local outdoors store or military surplus store will have a variety of fanny packs or utility pouches that will fit this mixer perfectly (at a much lower cost).
  20. Thats sweet, Ive always thrown my boom pole and travel boom stand in the camera ops tripod case or a PVC case I have if theres no room. I have been thinking itd be handy to have a check in that could fit my travel pole. Ive been using a k tek 102, the super small travel poles that can fit in a carry on have never been that appealing to me.
