  1. I have never worked in musical theatre... But lately I'm seeing clips of Broadway actors who have two lavs taped to their cheek. Is this simply safety redundancy, or something else?
  2. Just saw Michael Mann's "Ferrari...I don't know if Angelo Bonanni or Lee Orloff (the location sound mixers) hang out here, but their work was masterful. The dialogue, room sounds, clicks and creaks...everything...was natural, clear, nuanced, and the mixing choices really added to the drama. A masterclass.
  3. Wow, I just called and got instant help...where have you guys been all my life?? lol
  4. I'm have an issue with my 4017...I've tried to contact DPA through their customer support portal on the website (twice) and nothing but crickets. Is their support usually this absent? Anyone here work at DPA?
  5. The only time I had a Remote Audio 98 completely fail in this way was when moisture (from hand sanitizer) hit the grooved contacts on the battery. It didn't take much to brick it.
  6. Hello all - will be covering an athlete in women's soccer for a practice, they want a lav mic on her. Transmitter is a Lectro SSM. I've got an array of waist, ankle and thigh straps, and small pouches. I'm most interested in the best transmitter placement option that will interfere the least with her ability to do her job on the pitch. The thigh and ankle are out of the question. I'm assuming I'll be running into a sports bra on the torso. I have silicon covers for the SSM to help protect from sweat I see the Ursa backstrap (URSA Backstrap - Trew Audio) , but I'm skeptical on how comfortable that is wrapping under the armpit for an athlete. Thoughts and suggestions? Thanks!
  7. Help me hive-mind... More and more, I'm hearing young directors and DoPs using the term "money-shot" for their favourite take. Now, my old man old school brain seizes every time, as I have always associated that exclusively with adult film production, and I'm thinking every time that other's on set must be feeling uncomfortable (or not?) I know words and phrases evolve over time... But did I miss the 2023 memo on this, or is still a phrase associated with adult film? There's still no way I'll use it on set, but should I just chill because I'm the only one who notices?
  8. When the director asked me to mic up a St. Bernard dog on a kids show, I thought he was kidding. He wasn't. Hid the lav and the tx in the collar. Proving to myself that I'll do anything if paid enough.
  9. Hello - I'm struggling with a minor issue. Setup is DSR4 into a SL2/888 Transmitter is single block 19 UH400 Latest FW on DSR4 and 888. receiver mode is NA HYB When I select a freq in the block 19 range using the 888 menus, it prompts me to select between 470 and 19. Even if I select 19, it immediately reverts to 470, and therefore won't work with my block 19 tx. However, if I manually select the frequency on the face of the DSR4, the DSR4 screen menu gives me a 470/19 toggle option...I choose the 19 option and it all works. It even show blocks 19 on the 888/SL2 receiver menu. But if I make any frequency adjustment now within the 888/SL2 menu to that channel, the 470/19 prompt kicks in and it reverts to 470 no matter what I select. Am I missing something obvious? Is this a known handshake bug in the SL2/DSR4 system? Thanks!
  10. It took me a while to get used to the 2 extra added clicks on the Diety TC box...I've been on the Tentacle ecosystem for years. I keep the recorder as the master, keep 1 Diety box in my bag to jam, and then that box syncs all boxes and slate via bluetooth. But now that I'm used to it, I really like it and it's been rock solid. Clients love that slate too.
  11. 1 side rolls up. Packed in a 4' bag. Each side has a mesh window for ventilation, with rainproof covers. It can take a total beating, really easy pop up/down...worth every penny.
  12. My Pelsue 6x6 is my favourite piece of sound kit
