  1. ( Sarcastic, salty comments removed) Yes, there is a way. But what you are experiencing can be more easily solved by utilizing higher end, lower sensitivity LAV mics. Rode is a good beginning and backup, but as you see, it has hard limitations. If your savy with a razor and iron you can put in a resistor and lower sensitivity, I guess you could make your own attenuation adapter cable ( casual trash talk mixed with salty comment removed). Lemme know if your curious 🧐. I’ve made lots of repairs to many different types of LAV mics. PM me for pics and how to’s.

    Your making it sound like I’m wrong. Rockwool is made of rocks heated to become lava-like liquid. I cut my teeth on theater construction.

    Thanks, Paul - I will try that next time. I just did this right before I saw your post:

    Now, after fiddling with it a bit, I noticed that it doesn't seem to have anything to do with grease, but rather if I let the spring action snap it back, it gets stuck. If I guide it back by hand, softening the way it settles in, it does not get stuck.

    Awww, poor anodizing…

     

    As a solution, next time just use a piece of bicycle inner tube tire that you cut to size and place it around the object before vice gripping them into vice grip oblivion. 🤫 Ask me how I know. 

  4. For as little as $18,000! You too can boom without using your shoulders. 
     

    I don’t see what the big deal is. I mean, there is a practical use for this device, just not on daily boom jobs. I see long distance booming for extended periods where this device would be used, but it creates other issues that first need to be addressed. It also has limitations that need to be ironed out by @IronFilm. (Hey Buddy!). 

  5. It’s deafening in person. I heard it last year some time and thought, what an engineering failure. 
     

    On a brighter note. The view while driving is seamless of the ocean. I see what they were trying to do. The rails disappear at speed. 

    It went from “atmospheric river” to now a  get this… “bomb cyclone”. We used to just call it heavy rain around here in these parts. 

  6. Cigarette Smoke leaves a residue layer that is all kinds of bad. Unfiltered cigarette smoke was also a factor. You will need to remove this layer of residue that is causing the smell. Unfortunately the entire microphone will need to be disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, and possibly replace the capsule, it might be toast. The guts of the amp should be ok after a professional cleaning. I used to deal with this in real estate properties and vehicles. 

     

    I can walk you through allot of it if interested PM me. I need to research what specific chemicals to remove this caustic residue. Your going to need to find a solvent that will eat the residue but not the finish. The capsule disassembles down to the disk/diaphragm and can be cleaning at a high risk of damage. I have had success with 99% high grade isopropyl alcohol. Use wood q-tips because they allow you to scrub a bit more than the paper ones. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Tar remover? 

    I have a pair of Technic SL1200 in flight cases from 2001 that still smell like they just came out of a nightclub in British Columbia.
