  1. Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought the clocking over Dante was excellent and you no longer needed word clock if using Dante
  2. I was surprised when it was announced- I think Aaton does a good job with their feature updates. I’m sure there is some measurable difference and we can provide it if it’s requested.
  3. In my experience with using the common Lavalieres with Lectrosonics systems, the DPAs were the odd ones with positive polarity. The other common lavalieres from sanken & countryman were negative polarity. There was one particular job that requested we kept on top of this. I'm not sure how common knowledge it is or practice.
  4. I don't believe the X3 has dual ADCs and to my ears you dont get any more headroom when using 32 bit float.
  5. I'll be sending my MiniCMIT in for a checkup and likely the upgrade. It has seen light use, is an earlier capsule and occasionally has some audible artifacts down in the noise floor.
  6. There is some gain in the passive fins and for me that 75' length is not too bulky and still enough to give an edge in certain situations
  7. The D2 is the new Lectro digital line. They are not even done rolling it out yet.
  8. interesting considering the new wireless line has recently launched without any such feature
  9. They are insert unbalanced outputs. Depending on how you wire the TRS you will get Pre or Post Fader. Sorry i dont remember the exact pinout
  10. RF issue that I experienced was from a cellular device located above a ceiling tile inside a mall! Much stronger than a wireless mic transmitter!
  11. This has been a reliable setup for me once I had my older SRCs updated to the Rev B boards. Occasionally If I am dealing with DMX interference I will swap out the passive LPDAs for dipoles / they seem to bring less crud in - and I keep a few of the PF25 filters handy and drop inline as needed. If you want to go with LFA there are many happy users and they are very well made, I personally prefer to just pop in the PF25 which is more narrowband anyway. I tend to keep all my talent within 1-2 TV channels so I haven't needed a tunable filter on top of the tracking filter inside the receivers. I prefer to keep things passive and simple if I remote my antennas its 75ft of RG8X after that I am moving closer or going over the shoulder. If I am having RF issues it seems 90% of the time its interference not range so I pay close attention to the spectrum and my coordination. If I start adding tunable filters and amplified antennas It's just going to be too much for me to troubleshoot. I'm not sure how much you are to gain by bypassing the RF distro built into the PSC?
  12. I've seen strong RF upset the internal RF oscillator inside the MKH50 as have a few other folks I would imagine. The strength of the MKH design can make it sensitive to RF whereas the Schoeps will be sensitive to humidity and moisture IE reaching the dew point on an overnight shoot although in Schoeps' case they have newer CMIT capsules that are more immune to moisture. Having boomed for years with 41 I'll say that the 50 is not as natural on the edge of the pattern if you are playing the mic that way - but its strengths are a strong off-axis rejection that feels like a shotgun, very low self noise and a rich quality to the voice you are miking.
  13. I'm not sure what the filter bandwidth is on the A10s or G3s but a rule I've been using that has worked for me is to try for at least 15 MHz of separation between the IFB carrier and your talent channels. Digital transmissions will really get into an analog IFB receiver for example a boom op standing in close proximity to a handful of digital transmitters on the set, and his IFB is trying to receive an FM signal 150ft away - doesn't work well without some moderate separation in your tuning - The G3s receivers I would think will be affected most here, how much you need to separate them in tuning will depend.
