  1. (Your) ears are definitely not matched ;).
  2. I used this mini clamp, just because I had it laying around. Clamped to the pistolgrip.
  3. I was referring to this https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/frozen-pizza-national-dish-norway
  4. Frozen pizza, the classic Norwegian dish...
  5. XLR cables will get stiff as a stick, so keep that in mind if you run a wired boom pole, internal or external.
  6. I did this once, not with the countries involved in your case, but similar cross country non payment issue. The tread alone (claiming ownership since nothing payed, thus the copyright holder) was enough for them to pay it promptly. My "secret weapon" was that I knew all the film boards and other finances that backed up the movie, so i made it very clear that the next communique would be CC-ed to all those boards, mentioning that the sound was not being paid for, this not legal to use.
  7. Hi Matt, I talked about this with DPA; They acknowledged to me that this can be an issue due to the BT transmission, for remote control and TC, the Theos DBTX has, and the less ideal shielding of the 4061. The Wisycom MTP 60 and 61, as well as the Tentacle Track E (both having BT TRX on board) have (sometimes) the same issue with these mics. One of our end users got one 4060 with this issue, and another not. He could send the one causing issues back to DPA for a replacement.
  8. @EMP: firmware updated, ready to be installed via the Sidus Audio app.
  9. Hi @EMP, confirmed. We are working on it, we have a solution already, final stages of testing at the moment.
  10. Hi @Blocktek Sorry to hear that you did not get a reply. Can you send me a direct message or an email (vincent@deitymic.com) with your name so I can have support look into that?
  11. I have all 3; level 3 is really hardcore network stuff. I would say 1 and 2 is more than enough for location sound, 3 if you need to rig up complete congress centres, tv station networks or other large interconnecting projects/setups.
  12. I did a quick 'n dirty walk test on the IBC show floor. Walking around Hall 8 (Audio hall) with the prototype DLTX (Lemo in, Phantom power out). S-Mic 2 on a pole about 30 cm/1 feet above the head. Hard- and firmware not finished, but it gives a good impression. Note; this is with the non diversity prototype D2RX (receiver). (Vid details; Audio you hear is being transmitted back to the recorder, video is iPhone. audio and video synced in post. No other adjustments to the audio being made, straight recording from the D2RX out, into the Mixpre 10).
  13. This is regarding the legacy BP-TRX units. The Theos system is not falling under this agreement. Next week, we will show something at IBC Amsterdam...
  14. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/21/climate/sweden-garbage-used-for-fuel.html Quote: However, garbage-fueled power plants are not a clean energy source. Some opponents claim these power plants are a “false solution” that green-washes dirty incineration. “The process of burning trash is inherently polluting,” said Leah Kelly, senior attorney with the Environmental Integrity Project, a nonprofit based in Washington. “You can put state-of-the-art pollution controls on an incinerator in the same way that you can a coal plant, but that doesn’t make the facility clean.” Flue gases leave behind heavy metals and other toxins that comprise about 4 percent of residue, according to a report from Avfall Sverige. This must be cleaned out during periodic maintenance and treated and disposed of safely. Flue gas residue from Tekniska Verken’s power plant is stored in an abandoned lime mine in Norway. Another residue called slag, composed of the remnants of glass, porcelain, gravel and other material can be used to cover landfills and build roads. Critics also warn that these power plants discourage reducing and recycling waste, and also detract from investment in renewable energy like solar and wind.
  15. Some chatter in the UK Sound FB group about them: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LondonUKSoundDept/posts/6046608538728968/
  16. This one, I use it for field recordings, but i thought it could be handy to quickly have a spare boom pole. not the best pole, but handy as a spare: https://www.manfrotto.com/nl-en/carbon-nanopole-stand-ms0490c/ Here in the field with a Sanken cms-50 -> F3 Setup. Quick and dirty yet high quality atoms recording setup:
  17. For some reason the Apple power bricks excluded the in between steps that is needed for the SPD-1. Therefore indeed it defaults back to the 9v. Make sure the USB supply is specced with Qualcomm Quick charge 3 or higher. I have Used chargers from Belkin, the German Hama and Anker with these specs. All with success. Per example, this one from Hama I Use/tested: https://www.hama.com/00201630/hama-5-ports-quick-charger-1x-qc-3-0-3x-usb-a-1x-usb-c-pd-51-w-black No, it takes the highest voltage first.
  18. Gotcha. let me see what we can do to make it as few steps as possible.
  19. It auto selects indeed a device as master. but you can override that, click on the 3 dots and the propt will come. It will keep that device as the master reference, till it can not find it anymore (for example turned off, or out of range) . See screenshot for example: Feedback noted. As you said in the first post indeed the primal intended use and design of the tc-1 was that "we" are providing the master clock to everything on set, much like for example with a Sync-E. But you are not the first with the feedback of wanting the Recorder as the master (a lot actually). So although it is possible already, we can always try to make this more easier. Also; when you do it as follow; -Jam the device in "auto jam mode" to recorder -go to app, and set it as master (if it isnt already) -jam the rest from the devices via the app That way the app takes care of the "menu setting" in that specific TC-1 you used to jam from.
  20. I am sure you know it, but just in case; The most straight forward way to have your recorder as the master and the TC-1s as followers is: -Connect 1 TC one to your recorder of choice - set on device the mode to "Auto Jam". It will receive the TC. -From then on, you have 3 options: 1. Go to the app, select that device you just synced up with the recorder as the master, and jam the other units from that one. 2. Set the unit you just jammed back to master (it keeps the jammed signal), and push a "sync" from the device itself to the other units. 3. Jam each individual TC1 like that from the recorder (or from the first jammed device, by trs-cable). Feedback is always welcome, so if you have a suggestion of an different approach, please let me know. I have to say upfront that "live" continuously updating TC over RF is deliberately not in the design/ scope of these devices though.
  21. Is it this one? I need to grab an Ethernet adapter for Dante as well, and this actually looks like a decent candidate that can save me from carrying multiple dongles in my bag
  22. I won't take that as the starting point, but rather if a stereo or other kind of omni sound will be played back mono (Phone speaker, or 1 ch BT speaker, which is, frankly, done most of the times anyways nowadays), then mono compatibility is quite of the essence. And there indeed lies the beauty of mid side.
