ok thanks

Hello @mark kirchner, are you still making this custom foam? Do you sell it abroad? Thanks

I got the ADFA since 2021 in combination of LFA's and i am very happy with it.

Thanks. You mean in the visor while driving right?

Matthias, how does it behave with no shockmount in a driving car on this setup or a visor? Compared to a ccm41 into a cinela suspension? 

I think you will always need to mix to deliver a proper mixdown no matter what. 

I never said you need to automix, raise all faders and go home. It don't see how anyone could be working like this.

I guess we don't need it but we are slowly going towards 32 bits so why not try it.

Do you have an X3, have you tried out the firmware update in 32bit?

Yes i have a Mini and i tried the update and tried to rec. It works fine. I tried to import it in pro tools as well.

Hello everybody,

since december Aaton released a new firmware for X3 (Cantar X3 and Mini) to record in 32 Bits.

24 bits is usually plenty enough but it means a greater headrooms for screams maybe.

What are your thoughts on 32 bit recording?

Anybody already tried it on a full feature/series workflow ? 

I wonder if picture editors are ready to receive 32 bits Audio. 

It's no problem with Pro tools though. 

Thanks and happy new year to everybody.

Cantar X3 & Mini V3.532.C12  The 32 bits float audio file format is now available Be ready for the possible future requests of your Producers! New features: The 32 bits float audio file format is now available in the audio settings.  Be careful with the use of the 32 Bits floating format which is reserved for informed users.  Please note that there is no bridge inside the Cantar to convert a file recorded in 32 bits float into a regular 24/16-bit audio file format. Improvements: Better compatibility with Lectrosonics' DSR4 Subgroup settings are now embedded in the Save/Load Cantar process. Improvement of the Cantar's Ethernet connection   This update is recommended for all users. Enjoy!

What people are using today as Speakers?

I am searching for an active speaker with battery if possible and AC.

@RadoStefanov you can send it back to Schoeps for a humidity upgrade from now on.

I got a Minicmit with this new mod. Been shooting in humid places and under strong rain. No problem in 1 year.

I personnally prefer the sound of the Minicmit over the 4017.

Wanted to go the Dpa route before Schoeps annouced they modded the Minicmit.

LuisT have you had a chance to try a20mini +ump3 with a boom?

I did not. 

Thanks for the info. Good to know. Anyway i prefer to go with models that have been tested on the field and stable honestly. Even if what you propose seem good on paper.

borjam do you have any reference like the trendnet that takes 12V DC IN and cold resistant for outstide shoots but as a managed switch? :

good to know, thanks

you're taking an unterminated hirose and then put it straight into the green connector?

Thanks douglas. What would be the pros and cons of unmanaged vs managed switch for a small setup like mine?

Also i see this : "

• Meets EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) 802.3az standard"

Can EEE be turned off?

Do you know if EEE can be turned off on this switch?

so how did you soldered it if you can't fit it into a hirose?

Rich how do you plug this to an Audioroot battery or a 12V hirose?

I see no power cable that comes with it.

Is it this one?

i contacted Linksys and it appears that this device is not 12V. The picture on their website is a mistake. It's AC powered, thus it can't be on my cart powered by a 12V converter from an audioroot battery.

Do you have another idea?

I saw on the other post the Netgear GS105E that someone else took : https://www.amazon.fr/Netgear-GS105E-200PES-Manageable-GS105Ev2-Protection/dp/B00GWKN1Q2

The problem is, this device does not have POE.

And i need POE for my Sonifex DIO15.

Hello everybody,

i just finished dante level 1. 

I want to use the Dante capabilities of my Cantar Mini.

The idea is just to had a few iso's that i am missing with the physical inputs. 

I want to just out via the direct outs of a SD 442 to a Sonifex DIO 15 (4 Analog Line IN to Dante).

I need a switch that is POE, can turn off EEE, with a minimum speed of 1Gb and ideally that is 12V.

I saw already this thread and know a lot of people have much bigger dante setup.

Do you think it's fine to use an unmanaged switch for this setup?

Could you recommand me some switches that you are using and are stable.

I have a cart setup but want to keep things simple, small and easy as it will stay on the cart.

Also are you using mostly CAT 6 cables? The sonifex speed is limited to 100mb anyway.

Thanks

State-side I order my ultraflex at custom lengths from Field Components. Maybe they ship internationally?

are you still happy with the LMR 240 UF? is it flexible enough on a drum roll?

Hello, 

does anyone knows where to find LMR240 UF or RG8X in Europe without buying 1 kilometer of cable?

It seems hard.

Thanks

Yes. When keeping the 518-542 mhz window it usually comes back. When setting the A10 beetween 580 and 600 Mhz the problem goes away. (discovered that yesterday)

But i mean even 20 Mhz separation should be plenty enough!

I did yesterday. The problem occurs only inside, never outside.

I am thinking that even with 0db Gain, frequency planning and scan, some multi path reflections inside can happen, causing the distro to RF overload on a super small and random amount.

And this gives the white noise whilst talking on the ssm's only WHEN the A10 is on. When the A10 is off, the problem goes away.

Interesting fact, if i space even more the A10 (they are B Band), the problem goes away.

I would like to try omni antenna inside when it happens. It's possible that the extra 7 dbi of gain of the LPDA when in Axis is boosting the overall RF.

Also, the white noise changes depending of RF power of the A10 (low/med/high).

Without the A10 no problem. The ssm's are rock solid since years.

I tried to recreate a RF overload inside by boosting the antenna a bit on purpose and this exact problem happens. Thats why i am thinking the A10 can perturbate the RF front end of the lectro SRC.

increase in white noise when talking only. Probably digital RF
