What do you normally put the gain at on the HM for "normal" level dialogue?

I work on a fast paced 3 camera show sometimes with up to 14 comteks out. We tie strain reliefs, we tell people to be careful, but a set inevitably breaks every week or two. We're looking for single cable on-ear (not over-ear) cans that can fold up nice and small, will survive a small drop now and then, preferably with swivel-style ears and with (fake) leather cushions instead of the cheap terrible cloth foam covers, all costing $30 or less. Anyone have any suggestions? And if this has been discussed before, I couldn't find the thread. I'd love to see the link. Thanks a bunch! -Ben

What did we ever do before cable calibration!

Looks amazing

Not to hijack this thread but do similar rules apply to Americans working abroad?

I use G3s for mono mix hops and SRbs for stereo hops when necessary. The problem is powering the SRb which on some cameras you get away with a p-tap out. On c300s and DSLRs etc, you'll need the batt sled.

Thanks so much for this! Any official word on when they ship? Are they taking pre-orders? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

What's a good shock mount for that? I love the Invision 7 but it's not great with all that weight. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Put your boom op on his own IFB. This will allow you to communicate with him without the director hearing you (if you go out the comms out) and will allow the boom op to hear whatever he wants. The 664 has too many output options for you to feel limited in this way. Obviously, if you only have one channel of IFB, everyone hears the same thing. Or hard line your boom with a duplex.

If you just wanted to link the L/R to the 664, wouldn't a custom TA3 Y to TA5 cable do the job? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Really basic question but how does the math work out if the battery voltage differs from what the gear requires? For example if the fully charged battery metered in at say 16volts in the above example. Is it (16/14) x (4.6/1.3) = 4.04 hours? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

In my experience, most clients seem to expect to pay a half-day rate for labor per travel day. But what about the kit rental for those days? Full kit fee since the gear is unavailable to anyone else on those travel days? Or is half a rental day the convention? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Maybe a bit of a stretch but if this machine has firmware that can somehow route inputs to tracks pre and post fade, is it not conceivable that a CL-9-like device could be designed for a mix that could be connected to the USB or controller port? Obviously we'd still be missing the preamps, but for someone who is all wireless and line level out they could just plug receivers straight into the recorder, no? And regarding the size, SD says dimensions are (H x W x D): 3.3” x 8.6” x 10.3” and that it's half-rack 2U, so it doesn't seem like size would be an issue to me. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I'm awake and aware. It's just a pipe dream. I'm just too excited. Is it wrong that I really want the 970 even though I really don't need it right now? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

The new Solice Mini is all that minus Dante and layers. They're still doing some design changes though... Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

A six person sound crew and no mix track? What? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

With a truly locked off shot, it's easy to do a rough "composite" like this in fcp 7 on a laptop. I did it on a short film of mine to get the boom out on a wide shot when it came in by accident. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Thanks Marc. Was not aware it was already so ubiquitous. I was under the impression Dante was very new. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

What about Dante enabled mixers/control surfaces that are not of the Yamaha persuasion? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Sounds good to me Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I still occasionally ride the train with my gear depending on the job and I'll usually wear the mixer/recorder on me and have the backup machine and other gear in a 1560. It's rough sometimes but the 1560 makes for a great seat if none are available! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Bravo and thank you. Will P48 be independently selectable on either channel? And can these two channels be switched to live level? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
