    SL-6

    Hi NKL Your trim at 9 o’clock seems like it would be too low. I have SMQV which I generally set to 18 - 22 with COS11 with SRC in my SL6. My trims in my Scorpio are usually around 11 o’clock. Are you using a Scorpio or 688? It should be similar anyway. If you trim up and hitting the limiter, where is the trim pot when it hits the limiter? Something might not be right with the SR or the ribbon cable between SL6 and the recorder? You can also try reducing the output in the SR itself in the output menu. Hope that helps. Regards
  2. I have both the older grey and newer blue JL2 Plus chargers and 6 of the new NP9X batteries. I can confirm the older grey JL2 Plus chargers are compatible and fully charge the NP9X batteries as well as the newer blue JL2 Plus chargers. If it has JL2 Plus written on it, then it works. Cheers

    What happened to your Scorpio? I have a Scorpio and it’s been rock solid. Thanks
  6. Amazing! Thanks for finding that and the prompt reply. many thanks
  7. Unrelated to your question but where did you get that Velcro thingy that holds your COS11 please? Make and model also if you have it. That looks useful. I have about 50 COS11 which can get messy at times. Thanks
  8. What revision firmware are you running in your 833? 8.91 caused an issue with analog inputs 5 and 6 in some 833’s. Not sure what the issue was exactly. 8.92 fixed the problem. Regards
  9. So I have to apologize first of all. My bad memory! It wasn’t my friends 833 with this same problem, it was his Scorpio on one of the TA5 inputs. Same issue though, distortion after a while. He hasn’t had it fixed yet so no info regarding repair. Confirming my Scorpio does not display this problem. Sorry for the confusion. Regards
  10. This exact same problem happened to a friend of mine with his 833 on channel 5 IIRC. This has not occurred with my Scorpio on any input and I’ve used them all on long days. Seems to be an 833 thing after the machine warms up. Sorry to hear about your problem but at least you know what it is now. Good luck
  11. Without rereading through the replies, I don’t think you’ve mentioned trying the SL6 on a different filter. It appears you have Lectro SRC in A1 and C1. So have you tried the SL6 filter set to 470-700 instead of the “wideband” setting? For example, If you have a scene where you only use C1, set the SL6 filter to 580-700. The SL6 filter really matters and makes a huge difference. Please report back. Thanks
  12. Try the SL6 filter on another band that suits. I have a Scorpio with SL6 and if I’m on the wrong filter, it’s very bad. Im on 580-700 with no problems and excellent range with Lectro SRC in C1.
  13. I use the 64 and 128 GB 150MB/s and they’re both fine. Having said that, I’ve also been using the Extreme Pro version with no issues. The 95MB/s ones are fine and the 170MB/s version has also been fine in my Scorpio. Just buy the Extreme version, gold in colour. They’re cheaper anyway and they’re solid. Regards Peter
  14. No worries Jeff. Battery discussion is fine and informative for all. However, it’s a very obvious “sales” kind of tone that comes through. Maybe the ZMT4 needs its own thread or a personal message to Backfocus about a demo unit might’ve been more ethical.
  15. I was trying to hold my tongue but I can’t believe you guys are hijacking this Sound Devices thread to talk Zaxcom and make sales. Zaxcom make nice reliable products and I own some Zaxcom items that I really like, their service is also great, but really? Congratulations to Sound Devices, more nice products for us to choose from. BTW, can the A20 receive signals from other brands like Lectrosonics for example? For those who have many transmitters from other manufacturers (like me 😉) Also, can they slot into an SL6? Thanks
  16. Lectro 1 issue sounds like the TA5F connector is not seated in the tx properly. I’ve heard that thumping sound before and it’s usually a seating problem. Make sure the TA5F is plugged in properly. The other examples sound like RF issues. You haven’t mentioned what receivers you’re using. If you’re using a Sound Devices SL2 or SL6, make sure you’ve chosen the correct band for your transmitters. If not, you will definitely have problems. Cheers
  17. Check your firmware revision. 8.71 fixed a rare bug that caused an issue as you describe. Tracks that appeared armed were not actually armed. It only happened on 833 and 888. I always use ISO (never ALL) for monophonic track to media routing on my Scorpio and never experienced any problems with recorded tracks.
  18. I used this for a handheld mic holder but now I use it on the front of my kit bag. It’s adjustable. Has a clip on it. Holds boom pole and sometimes my umbrella! cheers https://ktekpro.com/product/kbac2-boom-accessory-clip/
  19. Thanks for the replies. How many discreet channels can be used at the same time? For example, a show with 4 hosts requiring discreet PTT feeds from director/producer? Thanks
  20. This looks awesome. A couple more questions please. Once the frequency on the control pack has been set along with other settings, can it then be locked so the wearer cannot inadvertently bump it off frequency? The only function they would be allowed to have would be volume, correct? Is there any typical delay with the Bluetooth? Any plans to expand the frequency range of the control pack to say…mid 600’s? Do you have some pics of the unit in the ear from various angles please? Congratulations, this is very promising. Thanks Peter
  21. Deep down I knew this already but the way it was worded sounded like analog distro/slot units (like the SL6) could support 4 channels of AES. We can only live in hope 😉
  22. Thanks Karl, this receiver is very welcome in our world. Does this mean we can get 4 channels out using the Sound Devices SL6 with a Scorpio? Having 12 channels in a SL6 would be amazing. Thanks
  23. These tubes can be found in childrens playgrounds in Australia. I’ve come across a few with my son. We talk over long distances. Another interesting place in South Australia is the Whispering Wall dam. Whispering voices can be heard clearly from one side of the dam to the other, 100m away. I’ve seen/heard this for myself a few years back. It’s pretty cool. https://southaustralia.com/products/barossa/attraction/whispering-wall
  24. Sounds like a very bad idea. I wouldn’t do it myself. The last thing you want to see is the magic smoke they put in at the factory, come out!
  25. Have a look at your antenna filter options in your SL2 menu in the 888. You will surely need to select the correct band.
