Peter, thank very much for this very detailed answer. I appreciate it!!! I think it will help a lot of sound colleagues, for future projects, as well! I didn’t got the job, but appreciate the puzzle we solved together and the things I learned by doing it. thanks to all posters in the thread!!!! best regards Mike

Thank you ALL, for your helpful and inspirational comments! It all led me to think a bit outside of the box and I remembered my musical days... So I came up with a solution that is a compromise of budget, flexibility and minimal manpower. A 42 Channel ALLEN & Heath SQ-5 small digital mixing console with 19" form factor and 32 channel multitrack recorder. You can add a DANTE Card and it features an iOS/Android app. The clue: In the app you can select up to 16 channel as listen source at the same time. And apply volume levels. 8 mobile devices are supported. This feature is meant for musicians on stage to mix there own monitor mix, without bothering the mix engineer. This seams to be a great solution for my problem. I try to get my hands on a unit and test it in real life. Again thank you all for your input!!!

Hello guys, may I pick your brain? I’m pitching for a job. Requested is a way to record a cast with 30 talents mobil in a way, that different producers should have the possibility, to listen into everyone talking or pair 2 and more talent, to follow the different conversations. Thank you

Guys, this won´t be final! The EU and US will negotiate further... just think of the 10% duties Germany has on US cars forever... We are now witnessing the foreplay of things to come...

Thanks Bryan for the update on the topic! Larry, I think you're 100% right. Thanks for sorting that out.

The same happened to me too a couple of weeks ago, when using Sennheiser G3s and MKE-2s in a cooking show. I had several different induction ovens in the set/shoot. So the interference on the G3s was from non to extrem noise gate. I had a room tone boom too, so in post we fixed the gated sound in the mix. Anyway, I found this plausible explanation by Larry: So if you guys have a chance, use other transmitters than G2 - G3, when shooting with induction. Any experience with other brands, besides Sennheiser?

Hey, I tried the same and failed too. I stick to the overcovers-technic for a while longer. Next test of that kind gonna be the "The Piece-A-Fur or The Invisible LAV Covers FUR OUTDOOR" from bubblebee industries. But I have good results, when using the soft circles as mild wind and pop-sound protection on RM-11 concealer.

Hey Paul, thanks to your trick, my Trams are back to the game. Thank you for sharing this.

Marla, I experienced the same noisey "off tape" sound on different cameras, like FS7, PDW 700, 5D... ) in combination with different sound gear. It´s almost as if you hear the camera working. On FS7 and PDW 700 I literately hear the REC trigger button and on PDWs the laser/disc running. But the on camera recordings always turn out clean. I think it´s cheap internal design/shielding of the headphone amps mostly.
