I got my F6 in Feb 2020(!) as a BU to my 633. Got me 'out of jail' when needed. Pity about the chip problems as its very convenient to carry for BU. I don't suppose Zoom are telling people the serial numbers involved. Happy to share S/N if it helps us find out the numbers.

F6 is a useful recorder to have around. It would be nice to have a streamlined workflow for the 32 bit files that gave the client/situation the benefit without a laborious workflow.

Guessing the model will be called MCR52 (if MPR52 or MCR42 are anything to go by).

The ISDT chargers also let you dial the current used as well as handling multiple chemistries (not at the same time).

SO how do the files sound compared to a normal Lav and UHF set-up? And whats the monitoring like?

Thanks for sharing this. My friend has just bought into the Shure system and I'm quite tempted to follow. I'm currently running senn-wisy combos so I'd like to read a comparison between the Shure system and Senny's Ek6042 with Sk5215 and Sk6212 Tx (12 hour battery life on the digital 6212 really appeals).

Sad to say Deity customer service is (in effect) non existent.

Curious to see what the acquisition will do for product development. The rest of the Audiotonix group has high end, installation big stuff, SD has high end, location 'small' stuff - how will all these IPs coexist, develop and merge? SD's own acquisition of Audio Ltd put new products into the market quite quickly.

tried that. it's better but not great. the attenuation is in the digital domain.

Anyone considering this system needs to factor in replacing the supplied cables with more reliable equivalents. 1 of the splitter cables with my TC Kit was DoA and getting any meaningful response from customer support has not happened. FYI the TC (kit) splitter cable (minijack to XLR/BNC) costs c.£50 each to have made professionally in UK. If Deity are listening it would also be able nice to pad the audio I/P down. X3/4 from a 633 is too hot and distorts.

Have you tried contacting Deity customer support? And if so how was it?

And when she asks the crew to keep still for the room tone - they know she means business.

Probably not the workflow most would want these days but presumably the tone would start and/or finish at some point on the time line, like a reference audio track (and bloop slate).

Grant, you don't say if you need balanced O/Ps but if you're coming from a 302 (with balanced O/Ps) my guess is it will be important for you and some of your existing clients to retain this capability. Bang for buck a used 633 is your best bet.

Reverse warp!

'That section of the video was confusing. I didn’t understand if the stamped TC on the files actually matched the audio recorder’s tc. To me it seemed like he was comparing the displays in the different devices only. But I sort of half watched it at that point, so I could’ve easily missed something.' +1. The point about using photos to compare TC displays is kind of valid and overall it's a thorough review (i FF the walk tests:) but a more real world use would be to Jam both devices to the same reference (eg the recorder), use the displays to confirm source and stick the BP-TRX on the cameras (and if you're working with a single camera with an audio I/P use the spare box to send a scratch track). I would not be surprised if there were drift in the compared files but he didn't seem to test this. There are also few TC devices which dont have a numeric display at all unless you are using an app.

"like wireless TC." TC is not wireless on these devices - as in you need a cable to jam to a reference.

Maybe EK6042 can do this - nope (but why not?)! Would also be great to have 4+ RX in a box the size of their EW-D rack unit (like the lectro DSQD).

micro tx never cheap on release: https://www.locationsound.com/sennheiser-sk-5212-ii-bodypack-transmitter-3590 obviously these sennys are cheaper now.

I bought BP-TRX primarily for TC for which they are fine (even without an app) , but camera scratch track and IEM make them worth while having in the bag even if TC is not required. For me Tentacle went from innovative disruptor (Sync and Sync E) to borderline box hobbling in 3 iterations (at least 'playing with the handbrake' on). Lots would have gone for their Track E recorder over BP-TRX if it could have doubled as a standalone TC box? Other thoughts: ~ 2.4gHz is 2.4gHz - but TC works without wireless connection. ~ Network, Display and App > Display > App (imho - i went with Display). ~ Locking connectors > proprietary plastic clip working with just 1 type of right angle connector. ~ I like the Tentacle industrial design, website, apps and logo.

If only we could charge batteries with heat. https://news.stanford.edu/news/2014/may/waste-heat-battery-052114.html

I wonder if this just became less likely.

ahem: "Deity Microphones is excited to announce they have signed a license agreement with Zaxcom for 5 patents. This agreement will allow Deity Microphones’ new BP-TRX units to transmit and record audio at the same time when purchased or used in the United States."

Just had a play around with the stereo record/TX function. Using 'soundman OKM binaurals' i didn't have any joy with stereo. IE. if the I/P is set to 'mono' 1 capsule is present in both ears (on both TX and RX O/Ps). If I/P set to 'stereo' then only 1 capsule is present in 1 ear (on both TX and RX O/Ps). The OKMs working fine on anything else with stereo minijack or XLR (via adapter) I/P so it seems the 'stereo' setting regards only the (unbalanced) O/Ps and the audio I/P is a mono source only (Andrew?)
