I would like to point out that I did not at all mean my post as a complaint either - just reporting what i saw as a possible problem, like someone hacking the site or similar. Anyway, everything seems to be back to normal today. Thank You , Jeff for everything you do with the site. Very much appreciated.

Today, I’m getting this every time I go to “unread”, or reload the page.

Thank you, Jeff! Good to hear.

Yeah, I was worried that maybe some robot type thing installed itself and is doing something in the background while everything looks normal… hopefully I’m just paranoid for no reason hahaha.

Hey Jeff - this morning, I got a white page saying something about cloud flare is checking to make sure the site is safe or similar, then the page went blank. Everything looks normal again this afternoon. Just wondering if it’s something that was supposed to happen because of new features you may have installed? Or should I worry that something bad may have infiltrated the site?

I believe early on, there was something going on with the 4017 mics that made them not play nice with plugon transmitters. Could be that? Maybe contact DPA and check if the serial number is one of the problematic ones.

Backstage Equipment.

Hmm... -3dB per octave from 140Hz means you're down -3dB @ 70Hz and -6dB @ 35Hz, so it actually may not be aggressive enough, depending on what you are trying to filter out. The Shure specs say -12dB per octave below 100 Hz When loaded with a low-impedance microphone input (800 ohms or more). If I'm reading this correctly, you'd be down -12dB @ 50Hz and -24 dB @ 25Hz. When loaded with 150 ohms, the roll-off is 3 dB at 100 Hz. They say the output is flat above the roll-off point.

Maybe check Whirlwind or Sescom?

Since you have confirmed that the Sanken works fine directly into your mixer, with or without the Denecke PS, I think you can conclude that those two are fine, and there is something down stream between the mic and the mixer. Possibly the wireless, but since two different brands have the same results - most likely the cable between the receiver and mixer. Provided that your wireless systems are set up correctly, of course.

Been using this one for about a year now: https://www.amazon.com/Ethernet-Adapter-uni-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B077KXY71Q

It came in a plastic alien head / egg shaped case that closes with a strap.

I just want to report back if anyone is interested: I ended up getting the Pianissimo. Absolutely amazing. Even without the fur, it works very good in terms of wind protection, and the sound is what I would call “transparent”. The suspension is also top notch. And it’s light weight too. Very happy overall.
