Go to the hardware store and bring some XLR blank tubes. I used some kind of hole plug, .5 cents. I will post pics when I get them. This has concerned me also. I am looking for plugs for my entire bag now. -Use label maker, and cut the labels so the edges are round, not square. you could clear shrink tube over printed labels for extra durability. For long term extra heavy duty labeling, after you stick it, paint over it with clear rubber cement. It's this, see through, and will never peel up. -Put your name, phone number, address, and sound on EVERYTHING. Otherwise it will grow legs and walk away all on its own. -Use black paper tape, less residue, no such thing as reside free. -I use color electricians tape for labeling my radio XLR cables, blue cables, blue TX, blue RX, blue dot on fader.

Where is this expensive one you all speak of??

Amazon…18.99...

So what I am hearing is that I should begin preliminary testing on toilet paper specifications for the Sony MDR-7506 in an attempt to replicate the reduced High-Frequency output of the modern bluetooth cell phone.

IIRC this is what the sound mixer did for the original Total Recall. Not the remake.

It was in the case, zipped all the way, I swear I think they do this on purpose sometimes. People drop their iPhones on the floor often also. Maybe people think it just doesn't matter anymore. Found em on the park bench at the end of the day. The struggle is real. Maybe O.P. is onto something... But @RPSharman is %100 correct. Label everything, and keep it clean. Do it right, think about if this was the auto repair industry, think about how crappy their reputation is because of the scams some repair shops have pulled. Trusted reputable mechanics are very valuable. There is a reason people pay top dollar for luxury dealership repair costs. It includes perks; loaner car, juice box's, clean floors, clean bathrooms, leather couches in the waiting room and a courtesy car wash. Thanks @RPSharman for taking our industry's brand and reputation into consideration.

Thanks for telling me, I will play with them more. I mite have to get an antenna… p.s. I was in GG Park SF.

+1 I have never used Comteks before and I used Comteks for the last three day. Politely put, IMHO the airplane seat headphone jack sound almost as good if not better. The range is very short, 50 yards max in a perfect environment. This helps allow the people out of hearing distance to hear the dialogue, but with compromised fidelity. @SeanMAC That being said, director dropped it and battery flew out. Later that afternoon he said, how come my sound isn't working. Instead of answering; because you dropped it, I politely said, sorry you are out of range. Also it meant that when he inevitably dropped it, I didn't care because it was just a comtek. P/s. what did you decide>>>???

Yes, ProTools.

IDK, I just got the pic from the IATSE website picture archives. That sounds like allot of fun. Hardwired? or on Radio's???? Thats gotta be at least a hundred feet of XLR. Thank you for sharing, I would like to hear more as your time permits.

Gorgeous.

I can't stop laughing.

Thanks for all the great responses people!! Now accepting all old Sony MDR-7506's. Please PM me your junked Sony MDR-7506's for sale link on eBay. I'll pay shipping. The hair thin green, red, and copper cables are painted. The soldering iron can actually melt the thin wires. I was always fascinated with headphones. I feel the Sony MDR-7506 is a living relic amongst the Beats/Bose cans. This was the last of an era that produced quality products for a budget. Now quality directly relates to the item costing more. Very few distinguish between quality and marketing. Is the Sony MDR-7506 the Technic MKII SL1200 turntable of the sound recording world? When Technics discontinued the SL1200 the resale price went through the roof. For reference, I got two 2xSL1200+Vestax+flightcases+cofin-case for $300 in 2003. Last I checked, one SL1200 goes for $400-$1000 depending on condition. Also, remember the classic Yamaha NS-10 story. Originally crap, inexpensive bookshelf speakers that ended up standard in any legitimate recording studio to date.

Get a Tupperware tub and fill it with TC cables. CLC makes great little heavy cloth zipper bags too. Build a kit as you go. If you didn't have the cable at all, it would have been one thing, but it sucks to have needed it and not had it with you. Don't beat yourself up to badly. But realize your your own pilot, it's always your fault ( captain goes down with the ship). Have you heard of a "Go Bag", or "Bug Out Bag", or "First Aid Backpack". In the sound world I am officially naming it the Justin Case, after @John Blankenship. It is basically an emergency bag that every school classroom has. In the bag there is everything needed for an emergency. Most days the bag just sits on the wall, but one time the power went out and my classmates and myself ate the Chewy bars out of the bag ( no snack machine power). I know it sucks to carry extra weight and load extra cases, but thats what it takes to be a good pilot that doesn't crash. I try to carry everything I have in my inventory as a rule of thumb. Its not profitable. Nobody does anything to streamline connectivity, quite the opposite. Marketing is seldom honest. Shout out to Columbia MO! Go Tigers!

Talk about a brick wall of limiters! Out with the old and in with the Multimaximizer!

Happy Birthday Jeff!

Semi-complete OM1 Battery box circuitry.

This is one naked viché resistor volume control for the OM1. I worked on the OM1 2014/2015. Please PM any questions. I miss this work.

I ended up cutting off a bit more than half of the curly cord. It really helped clean up my bag not having 5 feet of headphone cable dangling from me. I think the 3.5mm female jack on the ear cup is cool, but I wouldn't use it. I don't see any advantage, other than being able to use any aux cable as your headphone input.

But of course! It's in the white ceramic dish on the right, just the tip is showing. The tiny gold spring is also in this dish. @John Blankenship I forgot to mention this tiny gold wire. It's literally a little semi-bent L gold metal wire.

Underside of the gold donut/contact side down in third picture. I promise they are there, just can't see em. I didn't touch them. I occasionally use MG zero residue contact cleaner for these contacts. It was my pleasure meeting you in Vegas at Firefly.

Talk about equipment rental.

You can see the dirt buildup on the assembled capsule, then it is cleaned in the disassembled picture. Microphones are like camera lenses; best kept clean. My family counts on me, I am not going to let them down. No chance. Pilots don't fake it till they make it, they fake it until they crash and burn. Please PM me for details. Glad to help.
