KZ ZS Pro X with foam Iems provide a lot of isolation and a comfortable, accurate monitoring if you are working in a noisy place. Cheap, too! https://kz-audio.com/kz-zs10-pro-x.html Memory foam tips : https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005007224646265.html

Neumann RSM 191 weights 170g. for comparison: a 416 weights 175g, Neumann Kmr81 weights 145g

Yes, this is the issue I sometimes (faintly) encounter also with my (pretty old) DPA 4060 connected to a Sony DWT-B01 digital transmitter. It's a grounding issue, i think. Does not happen with Cos-11D mics. Had some older transmitter and when the grounding failed on that one, it became very prominent, also with Sankens. It even buzzed when the oled screen was on. That's why I think it is connected to grounding/shielding somehow.

I use this ethernet cable for my RSM191A setup. Works great, tested and compared with thick cable for tube mics ( SC-OCTAVE TUBE) , do not see (spectrally) nor hear any difference.... Its' very very lightweight. https://www.ugreen.pl/pl/products/kable/ethernet/1m/kabel-sieciowy-ugreen-nw122-ethernet-rj45-cat-6a-utp-1m-czarny-74855

I am wondering if the RF noise that Xtar AA lithiums make can impact Sony's TX's Zigbee 2.4ghz remote function........anyone have an idea? This lad shows it at about 3 minutes here: (link should go to the timestamp)

Amazing advice, thank you so much The Documentary Sound Guy!

Thank you for your recommendations, guys. I was thinking among the lines of using the wider pickup microphone, but both You and OntarioSound seem to prefer the narrower pickup mics for the job. As for the post, it will be on me (i have some post experience) I own a plugin called Hush - it does a remarkable job of removing background noise from the tracks - I used it on a badly recorded dialog lavs at the sea in another movie before and it does a remarkably good job. I just wanted to marinate on the best approach now that I am recording with better equipment.

Hello all :-) I have an upcoming shoot that will take place at the beach near the sea. The director probably wants it close to the water, the actors will go into the water at the end (we will probably cut and get rid of wires for that shot). I am wondering which microphones would be best to achieve the smoothest consistent background. I have Kmr81 mics, MK41, RSM 191, 416, and Cos11 and 4060 lavs. I never shot near a sea before, just recorded the ambiences and feel the sea ambience is very hard to get right... Obviously, I will try to steer the location as far from the water if not visible in the shot as possible. What are your thoughts? Any tips for working thru that? Thanks! Bartosz

Thank you Mr. Paterson! Been considering those Xtar's too... So you say that noise have no effect on Transmitters, yes? I wonder if digital wireless may be affected though - Sony DWX is what I use.

Understood. But aren't those 8000 series mics supposed to be RF resistant just like the 416?

Why? What would be the best alternative? For me, as a RSM 191A user, this mic seems a worthy alternative. I was bit by RF and moisture in the past :-) edit: Mid-Side demo at 4:47 seems to be mixed to mono ;-)

This kind of noise clicks are easily removed in post using RX De-Clicker module (or similar) . I would not fuss about it.

Today i found this: It is compatible with DWR-S01D and DWR-S02D. So it can be done https://avingtonltd.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=60&product_id=61

Yes, it is invaluable to have this international community here. I learned so much here. Thank you so much Jeff for having us here!

How is general stability and reliability when using 4 to 8 channels of wireless over AES? Let's say LR mix, MS BOOM, and 4 to 8 channels of wireless coming in over AES. I read some complaints about R4+ freezing when there are unused AES inputs enabled. What are your experiences SAX fanatics? I'd love to join the club, but need reliability for my documentary work.....Nomad (fw v8.05) works fine...

I would see a journalist using an ipad and a phone. That way, you could edit and record from m2d2 comfortably with a bigger screen, with a phone free for any calls.....

Just to add: I measured both PS-1 and PS-1A outputs and it can output as much as 25V for a couple of seconds. Fitting an output transformer is ABSOLUTELY necessary! And i did just that inserted Neutrik NTE-1, thanks to mr Paterson here,ouput is 0v. All good

I asked the manufacturer and they wrote: "The PS-1A and PS-2 output a quick voltage spike when the battery is first inserted into the unit. Once it is on, there is no DC at the output. If you are concerned about damaging your Tx, you will have to remember to power on the power supply prior to connecting it to your Tx. "

Looking for a splitter solution myself. Now, I have a two double Sony DWX (so also digital) receivers, and i am wondering if it's better to use 2 way ZFSC 2-2+ passive splitter from Mini Circuits with about ~3.5 dB loss, or future proof myself and go for the 4 way ZFSC-4-1-BNC+ already (about 7dB loss) Larry, am I right that the loss in these expensive active and passive splitters is just a fact of life, and all they do later is gain up what is left? Sorry If this is obvious, but it's good to reassure the basics sometimes. Also, the digital systems are not as sensitive to the signal loss as long as there is sufficient distance from noise? So the digital receivers do not have to 'see' as much signal as the analog ones to work alright? Thank you so much for your knowledge and time folks, I learned so much on this forum. Hope the Senator is fine also....

$2700? That is more expensive than AATON Cantarem 2, which has 12 faders.... A lot And i bet it works only with Nomad 12...

Do you plug them straight into recorder? Which one is that? I read they're 150 Ohms.

Is this compatible with Nomad 10? What is the ~price?

I monitor my output busses with the Nomad. They have output compressors engaged all the time. Sometimes somebody wants to make a 'joke' and scream into my boom. I tell them they have no chance

Do you have the DWA-01D adapter? I'm not sure the Receiver outputs analogue signal without it. The output pin assignments are in the DWA-01D adapter manual.

Thank you guys. The microphone works without problems with the Sony DWX system.
