  1. Yep the boardrooms are seeing dollar signs.
  2. Anyone out there know anything about the Aaton closing? As a Cantar owner curious what these means for those of us invested in the product. I remember when Transvideo bought them in 2013 and thought things were going well. Then again it is such a niche market. Thoughts appreciated. David
  3. I believe the front end is the key. In our world, my take would be the Sonosax, Cooper and SQN preamps. Outside of that take a listen to Gordon or Forssell. Then pretty much any recorder or recorder software.

    Halter Microsone

    Thank you Tobi, that is what I needed to hear. The delay would be an issue along with not being able to increase the gain.

    Halter Microsone

    thanks David. I am trying to avoid induction loops and wired earpieces, which is what we are using currently
  6. I have owned and used Phonak in the ear receivers. I have an ongoing project that an in the ear receiver would be very helpful for the talent. Seen the Halter videos on the Microsone. Are there any folks out there that have a Microsone or used one? How well does it fit in the ear? Does it hide well? Phonak seems a bit smaller How is the audio quality? I suspect there is a difference over using a Comtek transmitter or a UHF transmitter from other manufactures. Price point is a large consideration. The Roger system is a bit out of reach for this project. Thank you for your thoughts and advice. David
  7. As that famous advice guru has said "it depends". My .02. Hardwired saves a lot of grief. Jim's suggestion go with a four split screen, whether it is something large or tablet size. Depending on who you are working with, buy one of the BM bi-directional converters, covers HDMI or SDI. I run into this on occassion. Sometimes

  9. I have owned both and built my own BDS. Switched to CT Battery Bud with USB. Main reason is the use of Hirose connectors. Positive locking and nothing to loosen like on the BDS that use Switchcraft type connectors. YMMV
  10. Not sure, but the antenna and cable could have a very high swr and the Comtek is letting you know that fact. If you or someone you know has a vna this is easy to determine. A vna is a great tool and can be had for less than 100usd.
  11. My .02. In your market what is the trend in wireless systems? What are other soundies using. As someone mentioned earlier, it is nice to be able to draw on a large established base when you are in need of some extra gear or suffer a failure. I would also say must of us suffer from GAS and are willing to purchase something different or perhaps better. Go with works for you. David
  12. Super nice Patrick. Swiss equipment envy!!
  13. Karl W. at Lectro would be the go to person.
  14. Loved these mixers also Jeff. My first ENG mixer was the SQN-M. Sonically this mixer and Andy's mixers were the best in my opinion. Better than the current crop of mixer/recorders. David
  15. Millar, Mount It has some that might work. Ram Mounts is another vendor. Search Amazon, lots of choices there. Hopefully someone else will add to the list. Tnx David
  16. Give it time, the big fish swallow the little fish.
  17. I most of the time I operated with the mindset of buy once, cry once. I feel the higher end gear is made to last. It may not have the latest bells and whistle, but continues to work all the time. I am not opposed to buying used higher end audio gear. It arrives working and continues so, I am happy. Yes I will admit I am a gear head and like to experience what manufactures are offering. The new SD Nexus/A20 combo is of interest. One area I will default to is in the home workshop, yard, or garage. I do buy from Harbor Freight knowing that the tool or product may not last. If it works for the project I bought it for and continues on, that is fine.

    SD A20 Nexus

    Yes, Constantin, having all of your eggs in one basket. Having spares is always a good idea Though most of these products are very robust, Murphy can happen to anyone. Years ago I used Zaxcom wireless, when it worked it was great, but problems did happen when you least expected. I do imagine the current generation of Zax wireless are much better.
  19. Canare with their cable or Mogami
  20. And this is why Lectrosonics continues to get my vote. They share technical details willingly. Plus Larry gets the big bucks!!

    Lav tape

    Paul 3M makes a line of sticking products. VHB. Rolls and small sheets. Amazon carries a number of them. You will need to investigate further as I don't have all the details. Some of them are 1mm or less in thickness which I suspect would be similar to the Stickies. I know they come in various degrees of adhesion along with the difficulty of removal. I know the automotive industry uses these products to assemble parts of cars, like trim. I keep several rolls on hand for sticking small items together. David
  22. Thanks for all the input. I have passed on these suggestions and some others I found to the producer. Hopefully one of the suggestions will work for their budget and the talent will be happy.
  23. I have a client that is recording some 40 video podcasts over the next 6 months or so in a studio on a virtual set. All of the guests are viewed and heard via Zoom. I am micing him and using a Comtek with the typical curly in the ear, news reporter style for him to hear the Zoom audio. We just finished the first six episodes this week. I have about 25 days before the next recording session. The presenter is ok with the one size fits many ears, but not loving it. I suggested we go with an audiologist molded earpiece. What I am lacking is a company that would take that mold and make a single IEM. Plenty of musician molded earpieces out there in the hundreds of dollars to several thousand. So does anyway have some names of companies that can make single IEM? Tnx David
  24. Nice solution Cody. Usually lots of V mounts on most sets. Never run out!!
