  1. Looks like they have been acting in bad faith for quite a while... here's a Ripoff Report from 2016. Most interesting is their heavy handed response in the rebuttals. One they signed, the other one they probably wrote but didn't sign. https://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/beverly-boy-productions/nationwide/beverly-boy-productions-they-claim-to-have-local-staff-crew-they-dont-and-they-lie-nat-1318024 The state attorney general's office in both of the states - yours and wherever they are from (California, I think) - would be interested to know the details of this situation. The CA attorney general's office specifically, since it is their state. Those guys don't mess around.
  2. For line level, which seems to be what you would need for this setup, here is the wiring diagram: https://lectrosonics.com/accessory-links/product/mc35.html
  3. Thanks for sharing - that does sound like good news for the EU at least!
  4. Hi Jim, you can do with our Wireless Designer software. This software can be use in offline mode to do IM calculations, and you can import scans in CSV format as well. Walkies may be on smaller steps than 25 kHz, but for IM calculations, this is generally close enough.
  5. The article I read also mentioned the 3 GHz area, which, while closer to our "home" is still a good distance away from any pro wireless mic frequencies. In-depth near-term study of 2,786 megahertz of spectrum for potential repurposing. After receiving extensive public input, NTIA has identified five bands for study. These are the 3.1-3.45 GHz, 5.03-5.091 GHz, 7.125-8.4 GHz, 18.1-18.6 GHz, and 37.0-37.6 GHz bands. This mix of bands could support a range of uses, including wireless broadband, drones, and satellite operations. NTIA will complete its study within 2 years.

  6. IronFilm is correct - the 700 Series digital wireless mic system, introduced in 2002, did not have any compat modes, only the native digital transmission mode. A portable receiver was never made for this series, only the UDR700 half-rack single channel unit.
  7. Always a good idea to check with our HQ service department for troubleshooting steps - they'll want to know your serial number and firmware version: service.repair@lectrosonics.com or +1 505 892 4501
  8. BTW according to Sound Devices this issue has been fixed in their development code and will be included in the next 8-Series firmware release.
  9. Thank you - those are both the latest versions. In our tests with a DSR4 v1.14 and SL-2/833 v9.31 we can confirm that there appears to be a bug. If we go into the overlap area (486.400 - 495.600 MHz) when changing frequencies on the 833 interface, the choice is given on the 833 display to choose block 470 or 19. Choosing 470 always changes the DSR4 display to change the block and hex code to 470. Choosing 19, however, does give you 470 and 470 hex code instead of 19. Regarding the 833 changing to block 470 no matter what frequency is chosen in block 19, even above the overlap, we are not seeing that issue: it appears to only happen in the overlap frequencies.
  10. Hello, we'll be happy to look into this. Can you let me know what firmware versions your DSR4 is on, and the 888 also? There have been a number of updates since the initial release of compatibility between the systems so let's start there. -Karl
  11. The correct adapter is the DAD3056 - is that the one you are using?
  12. ^ certainly looks like a Vega transmitter, and the mic element/head looks similar to many Vega units from over a long period (this same head appeared on their model 54 from more than a decade earlier) and is likely a dynamic mic element.
  13. The highest fidelity IFB I can think of is to use a Lectrosonics mono digital transmitter (DBu, DBSM, etc.) set to 50 mW and then an M2Ra receiver in D2 compat mode in the producer's car. This would give you 20-20K, full dynamic range audio, in mono, if that's what you're after. To increase range, consider using an external antenna on the talent car, if feasible - a magnetic or suction-cup mount unit that is out of any camera angles and fed from the digital bodypack unit in the bag.
