  1. cory: " Have people other than the ones on this forum been made aware of this issue? "  >:(

     

    I would suspect that if other folks, like users not on the forum, are having an issue, they would contact their dealer or Zaxcom.  and, of course, if they are not having the issue they are living blissfully unaware, which is fine...

  2. Crus: " My question was about the state and future of wireless microphone technology.  "

    it is cloudy...

    there are few clear predictions.

    wireless microphones are currently being used in VHF band and higher bands, though the equipment is not as widly available yet...

    there are bigger fish than us swimming in this ocean, and they are also concerned, even "very concerned", and still the view remains: cloudy.

    meantime we have gigs to do, and we have tools available....

    practically nothing is completely future-proof just like your phone or PC, so upgrading is certainly in the future...

  3. Cruss: " But we're talking about what 4 years of potential use now? 5? "

    once again, note that there are tax implications, but gear like this should be considered as 4-5 years, and anything after that is bonus...

     

    my remark about 10 year old gear (or how ever many years!) was meant to be a bit facetious, as there are a lot of folks here who suffer from "shiny new toys syndrome"...

     

    JP: " Why would anyone know what your gear is? "

    of course the clients typically neither know nor care what specific gear we have or use, as we tend to be hired for "results".

    jwill gets it: " ....black rectangle things!! Cmooon Maaaan "

  4. Glenn: " If you have a MAXX with an internal transmitter and are having this problem when the input voltage is over 14 Volts call us at Zaxcom and we will get it taken care of for you. We will be happy to take care of any effected units one on one with our customers.

    Glenn "

    field: " Bravo! Bam problem solved! "

    see, and I thought that was obvious!

    I can't understand why thope didn't just contact Zaxcom (24/7) and find that out...

  5. JG: " You miss my initial point though that it's all for TV. "

    OK, fair enough,

    ...but I see the point that we, individual production sound folks, who will use these on the end of a boom or fishpole are not the biggest market sector for Rycote, thus they have other considerations than ours in designing and marketing their products...

  6. and this:

    In a strongly worded brief filed Monday in Georgia state court, lawyers for the parents of Sarah Jones sought to maintain public access to videos and photographs of the train accident that killed their daughter during production of the film Midnight Rider in February, and to preserve the right of the lawyers and parties in the case to speak to the media.

  7. CK: Neopax has already been mentioned, and you can check with the dealer who sold you the units for their ideas, and eBay is a big place to have fun... also, Amazon...

    and BTW, there have been previous discussions of pouches on here....

    Google, first search term is jwsoundgroup.net, and... (you can figure the rest out!)

  8. BC: " looking specifically for the best way "

    there is no single best way, depending on a number of variables.

    typically, major credit card transactions are pretty good in a variety of situations.

    With international clients you need to be specific including that the remittance needs to be in your local currency and net after all charges and fees; but, typically credit card transactional fees are absorbed by the business accepting the card. there is also the constant fluctuating of the currencies, leading to the expression: "flucted, again"
