Hi all, I have 4 sets of Sennheiser G4s and a Zoom F8n: 2 lots of the 100 series with ME2 mics 2 lots of the 500 series with MKE2 Mics Ive been using them all together for over a year when all of a sudden mic input 3 on my zoom f8 wont pick up a signal from either of the 100 series receivers but works fine when either 500 series are plugged in. Its not the cables, the settings have not changed as far as i can tell on either the F8 or the sennheiser. Im lost??? This happened after i had re-tuned them all to new frequencies. I've checked that there are no frequency overlaps, it also happens if i turn the remaining 3 sets off. Help!

Hi all, I understand in the Uk you can pay a yeary or two yearly licence to use (channel 38 606-614MHz) My question is to do with purchasing other frequencies. If i want another 10 wireless systems on the interleaved spectrum how much bandwidth should i be purchasing? My understanding is its £8.50 for 200khz of bandwidth??!! thats not a lot of spectrum.

Thanks Everybody, I'm not in over my head and i'm not really worried about the shoot. I completely understand G3's. I've just had issues with RED cameras before and i'm just wondering what everybody else would do. Sorry for asking so many questions, i ask the basic questions because you can still learn new things .

Thanks both, this is really helpful. I'm going to try and arrange a day of prep and hopefully get this to work! We will see what happens! Playback is something i don't normally have to do, what's the standard way to do this? is there some equipment the crew can hire/buy?.. Thanks again. Anyone who has a good starting point for G3 hop settings would be amazing. I'll be pushed for time on the day (as we all are).

Hi all, I have a two part question, My situation: Im currently shooting a bunch of videos that require a hop from a Zoom F8 to a RED Helium. The main reason for the hop is so that the director can have playback on set (i.e hear the audio when playing back visuals). I've been asked to set up a way that the director can hear audio (with picture) back out loud (no headphones). My questions: 1.What is the best way to set up my G3s? (sensitivity,AF out, Cable types, inputs,outputs). 2. What do i need to do on the RED? i wanted to go into the RED line level but i've found playback is very quiet from the RED even if the level is healthy. 3. What is the normal way to setup playback on set? (visual and audio synced, out loud and possibly HP's) Equipment involved: -Zoom F8 -Sennheiser G3/G4 -RED Camera and Module -Teradek Bolt Wireless -Monitor (cant remember what monitor but its audio is very quiet and only has a single HP 3.5mm out)/a TV may be available I would really appreciate any help on this topic! And unfortunately saying it isn't my responsability or ask the camera op isn't a helpful answer in this situation. Thanks, Ross
