Sonosax M2D2, a bit pricey, but oh so sweet sounding.

Rob, Dante I understand enough to be dangerous, completed Dante Level 1 course.  I am curious does one ethernet cable cover the Dante, Wireless Designer and video (NDI)?  

Or are three different cables required?

Tnx

If you have access to a friendly audio dealer, perhaps they have the toaster and would check the Invisity for you.  Otherwise you can take a Comtek and simply adjust the frequency until you hit on the correct one.

Years ago, DPA gave me some of the 4060 housings.  My skill set was not that great and usual repairs resulted in one in three attempts to repair were successful.

And all the sweaty bodies that have used them.

The coffee maker!!

The two I just bought are Inspired Energy batteries, just with another vendor label on the outside.  Case and serial numbers matched up with IE.

Yep, I would say they have been toking the Kali Tragus, know by many names, prickly Russian thistle, being one one of them

John I like the Cos11 for noisy locations, seems to hear less of the background noise.  To my ear the DPA lavs cut very well with the Schoeps mics.  I would not consider the DPA lavs to be more robust, unless you buy 4660 series.  My experience has been the DPA lavs fail right at the point where the cable enters the housing.  Also if you are using ones with the microdot connector, that too is a weak spot.

Just bought some IE 98w batteries that have a third party label on them for 90usd each.  Also use RRC plus the Aaton batteries that came with the recorder.  Two plus years now and no issues.  I use the Aaton charger and bought an RRC charger from Mouser.

Well I am one of the lazy ones.  Back when I had Segways, I would sometimes use one to access the location in downtown Nashville.  Events like the CMA awards where parking and access were difficult.  I would ride it up and down the red carpet early while crews would being setting up and at the end of the night.

Liking that rig Neil.  The Amazon ordered cleats are definitely less expensive than what Aaton sells.  The 8020 or similar is a nice way to go.  Makes it easy to modify the rig.  Going the route I chose does lock me in.

I believe Larry said "yes"

When performance matters LDF-5. About .9db per 100' of loss at most wireless frequencies.  Not light, doesn't roll very well, but will impress the client.  Have several rolls in the garage.

A used Cooper CS104, has some of the best preamps going.  I kick myself for selling what I had years ago.  Probably used in the 700-1000usd range, so more than the SD302.  Really nice to have.

FB I have found to be a great time waster for me.  JW is usually the most clear and concise way to discuss production sound, the latest gear, wonderful DIY, and the buy and sell is first rate.

That is a nice mod.  Kudos Paul

I believe DPA makes some horse lavaliers!!

Version four in action.  A shoot just before Christmas for HomeChef.

SMA will be on the URX51

under $400 per unit

-survives drops   sometimes

- all day (14 hours) battery and ideally multi day  at least a long day

- better audio than a comtek

-some basic info on the receiver like an RF meter

-wide tuning range      most times the 216mhz range is clear

-high power transmitter options

-headphone Jack that works with standard stereo headphones

And that's why many of us still use Comteks.

Neil I just sent a photo to Pierre.  I didn't know what to call it either.  I do think the microphone clip idea might work.  Just remember the underside of the Mini is not uniform, hence the left and right shapes of the clips.  They appear to be made from stainless steel and are perhaps 2-3mm thick.  I do trust the 3/8" mounting screw, but the clips keep the Mini in place.

Just my 2 cents

Contacted Aaton and bought a couple.  Pierre handled the transaction.

So version four bag/holder has been up and running for a couple of months.  Still waiting on the Melody II preamp from Aaton, so that I can add the third SRc in the empty space.  I really like having the Mini on a slant.  The display is viewable in both vertical and horizontal positions.  Everything I need is inside of the wedge.  Antenna distro, TC, Hydra system, power distro using an eSmart type of battery.  

Space on the the two smaller vertical panels to add pouches to hold hop transmitters and a space to clip a Comtek transmitter.

Very thin birch plywood, laminated with carbon fiber, plus some aluminum for brackets.  The carbon fiber may offer some RF shielding against stray emissions from the Mini.  Total weight without gear installed is about 1kg (2.2lbs).  Cost of materials including the Aaton clips was around 350usd.  Labor well......
