We own and use 2 URSA 4.6k G2s all the time with our company. You said "the menus said it was set for line level." Just confirming you mean the physical switch on the camera body right? You can't set mic/line/aes in the menu system. I've never run into an issue with sound going into our URSAs. We used to run Lectro LRs to them but have switched to using IFBlues for scratch since the audio 99% of the time comes from the mixer.

I was just searching for a 3D printed solution to mount my IFBlues to camera and found this. Fantastic that this works. Much better than the velcro. For those asking how they hold up - I've had 6 of them since October 2021 - close to the release date. No issues. Love them.

Do you mind sharing who made your covers? Considering doing something similar. Love your setup. Have you ever hit any of the gear with your knees while standing and accidentally changed a setting or turned something off? I use Lectro DSQDs and those power switches are not really protected.

Hi Karl - Yes, Gerald is awesome to work with. Phone call, various emails. I told him I know "you're doing your job" but to have that level of help until it was resolved is why I'm a Lectro guy for life. This is just an FYI for those that may have a similar experience switching from UCR411s to DSQDs. There is definitely a little more "noise" pickup on the DSQD but not nearly as much as I originally thought. It was 95% just a matter of the scales being very different. I thought they were the same so seeing 2x or 3x the levels had me worried at first. The left is a UCR411 scale. It is 2x roughly up to 10 and then jumps a lot. 1uV = 0dBuV 10uv = 20 dBuV 100uV = 40 dBuV 1000uV = 60 dBuV

A little background first... I have been using UCR411s for a few years and had 6 of them in a larger ORCA bag running into an Audio Wireless antenna distro unit and that distro was using a pair of Betso Bowties. Great setup. Always found clean channels. I had 2 UCR411s in Block 470, 2 of them in Block 19 and 2 of them in Block 20. That gave me a little more flexibility if one block was more congested than another and I didn't need to run all 6 at the same time. All transmitters I use are Lectro LTs in the A1 band. I just bought a DSQD to go in my bag and reduce a lot of clutter and some weight and get current with Lectro tech. I can now use Wireless Designer, which is great but I'm getting a lot more RF noise when doing scans vs my 411s and I have no idea why. If I scan A1/B1 on the DSQD I don't really have anything clean under 20 dBuv. On the same channel on my UCR411 it's super clean - like nothing on the scan. I'm using the same Betso Bowties as before. Same short LMR-240-UF Ultraflex Cables from DSQD to the Bowties. See photos here - same channel on both the UCR411 and the DSQD. Way different scan results. Standard whips on the UCR411 for this test. Any suggestions?

Does anyone happen to know the specs on a Lectrosonics Locking LZR Plug? Is it just a 5.5 / 2.1? I have searched a good bit and can't find any info. I need a Hirose 4-pin to LZR Locking Plug longer than the PSSREXTHR that Lectro makes.

I'm in the same boat as you Paul. Deciding which antenna distro to get. I asked my contact at Gotham and was told to consider the BSRF AS-122 because of the slightly better build quality than the PSC RF Multi SMA. I can't find a lot of info on the BSRF AS-122 in terms of real world use reviews so hesitant to go for that one. PSC has 8 vs 6 SMA connections wise. PSC noise figure is 0.8 dB vs BSRF AS-122 noise figure with 1.5 dB. BSRF is 340-770 MHz vs PSC 470-700 MHz. I've read many posts in this group about reducing the spread if possible for less potential RF issues. So the PSC wins there if that's the case. Anyone using the BSRF AS-122? This will go in a bag with Betso Bowties and 6 UCR411s. Wish I could rent and test them.
