Can the international versions of products like this be brought into the US by an individual? For example, if I happened to be in Vancouver, B.C. on vacation and went by Trew Audio could I buy this (or an Audio Limited A10, etc.) in person, bring it back to the states and use it as long as the frequencies are legal? I assume the biggest issue might be ensuring that firmware updates are the international version and not the crippled US one.

 

Looks like an interesting system, although the lack of a volume knob on the output dings the usability as an IEM a bit.

I believe it is possible to order it on TAOBAO or some other chinese website

I would go with the Panasonic DMW-XLR1. It is cheaper than the mixpre 3. It also provides the phantom power, and it is on the hot shoe but not individually. 

tumbleweed comes again

Hi all.

I was searching online for some Lectrosonics SR series information, and I realized that it seems like they update every four years. Any rumors about the SRD?

As you're shooting on a green screen, get that mic in SUPER CLOSE (yes, even have it in shot! You can remove it in post with a click of your fingers, easy!). 

I  think schoeps have the green screen color mic. it should be gone automatically 

I would recommend the AVX with a better mic.

There light weight cart is good enough, even checkable.

I had an issue before with the wet weather situation. Felt like the key to it is that you have to let the mike stay inside the case for a while so that it can adapt the weather. Mine goes bad in the middle of the shooting. Switch to a CMC641 instead.

System crash due to power switch or whatever else that makes your system crash. The fix is to hold the menu button for a 15 seconds +\- and the system does a hard reboot. Usually that fixes the problem.

 

succes

Two is one and one is none. Get a back up. 

I agree, looking at 4017 now

I had the same ish problem and my mic is in Germany at the moment. What caused it for me was dust on the diagram and a humid environment. They are cleaning it/replacing parts for it now if it's needed i really hope that that solves my problem. how old is your mic?

1 year

Seconding what Ivanovich posted above (and what I just posted in another topic about Zaxcom service), I‘d recommend always going via the distributor for service, especially with overseas manufacturers, if only to take care of the shipping hassle for you. 
 

distributor said they got to send it back to Germany. Looking for an mic to replace it for this 5 weeks period right now.

The CMIT I am using was purchased last year, April, and it mainly stays in the Blimp Windshield. Last week I went a set. It is a genuinely dusty indoor environment. So I paid extra attention asking the boom OP  do not take it out of the Windshield. However, on the second day of shooting, The mic starts making weird noises like this. 

It is recorded in a quiet indoor condition. But the self-noise is extreme. I do saw on Schoeps website saying 

Quote

Always ensure that the capsules are not used in a dusty environment and that they are kept in a closed container (eg in the case provided) after use, as the ingress of dust may impair their function. In conjunction with high humidity, it can lead to condensation and thus cracking noises.

 

Not too sure if I should send it to do the services. It happened twice on my three-day shooting, so I do have a strong concern about it. If I sent it back, do I have to send it back to Germany, or I can do the service in the state. 

Thank you

105 is not as good as the 4018VL to my PA experience 

you might be on 12V

There are some good resources in the forum as mono points out. I have been quite happy with close miced omnis. But also had good results (surprisingly as it doesn't handle high SPL very well on paper) with my Cs3e.

 

Non of the mics you are listing are particularly bass heavy. I would maybe try the 50.

Thanks, I might have trouble searching. Got a link above so that I can take a deeper look. 

Greeting everyone

I recently joined a student documentary about the racing car. They want to see if I can record those the racing car exhaust pipe's crazy sound. I have been trying with my 5U, and the sound is clear but not much bass as I can feel by the side of the race track. Wonder if anyone has a suggestion about racing car location sound recording. Got a CMIT 5U, a CMC641 and a pair of KM184 (might not fit this project), and a MKH 50.  willing to see any technique or mic suggestion for this.

280 should be great

I had the same issue, that's why always keep a mixpre 3 with me all the time. The 633 should be produced recently

Hello everyone.

There is a problem that occurred on my 633. I plugged the battery in and turned on the machine. There is nothing showed on the screen, but a yellow led light was on. The device can not be turned off unless I force turned it off (long press menu) It never happened before. Would that because of the wingman accessory I just put on last week. Should I send it back to SD or there is any way to fix it myself.

Thank you

Can be a cheap IFB feedback to the camera

maybe SX-M32?

maybe some across the border
