  1. Hey there, I've been using a Lectro venue wideband RX coupled with 2 x HM Tx's ( 1 blk 20 & 1 Blk 26) 4 x Sm (1 x Blk 26 & 3 x Blk 20) for the last 5 years without any problems. Over the last 3 weeks of a fast turnaround TV show I've been working on I've started to hear the odd click here & there on both of my HMs. I've swapped out venues with our local dealer and still heard the noise. The range I'm getting on the venue is 100%-75% reception using a pair of lectro ALP620s. I'm getting the clicks in the studio too, so not a RF hostile place. I've read the previous comments about running Tx's too low but my HMs are set to 24 as a standard on MKH 50 mics and there's generally plenty of level. Any ideas? (My boom ops are hating being back on the cables...) Cheers Mark 5_32T01.WAV
  2. That's all i'm running Eric, I have the MKH 50s in cinela mounts... I can't imagine where the RF could be getting in other than an issue with the mics.
  3. Hey all I've had this issue with my 50s, 1 is 3 & 1/2 years old the other is 1 & 1/2 years old. It can happen on a cable or on Lectro HM transmitter. I swap to a scheops Cmit 5u and no probs. We have a lot of 2.4ghz traffic (focus remotes, red remotes & HD senders) from camera department and a relatively small lighting set up. I notice this problem in 2 sets, it drives me crazy as it seems to be happening more often recently. I'm sending both 50s back to sennheiser for an inspection when we wrap in 4 weeks. I've spoken to our post crew who aren't too bothered by the noise... but it drives me nuts when I end up with it on a take. As we're using Red Epics on our shoot, you can only just hear the actors over the fans during rehearsal, there's no chance you'd hear this noise. As a note, i'm using canare quad cable and neutrik EMC connectors. Cheers Mark
