  1. Try Analogique in NYC. Not cheap, but this is the kind of thing they do (and do well) http://www.analogique.com
  2. Ken, PM or email me if you get a chance. Best, Wyatt
  3. That sums it up nicely
  4. Good point. On my cart, I have one recorder mounted on top of a shelf with Dual Lock, and one below with a Chihnda bracket. I would never trust Velcro alone to suspend a piece of gear FROM something
  5. Wow! I typically get that runtime with single battery SM's @ 100mW. We're talking lithiums, right?
  6. Industrial Velcro or Dual Lock. The Velcro gives you a tiny bit of shock absorption as a bonus
  7. Thanks for the kudos' on the cart, guys. As with everyone, I'm sure, it's a perpetual work in progress. As far as the mount… Unfortunately, to call it a swivel mount would be generous. While the mounting system for the ears does allow for slight tilts, it wasn't enough for my needs. I ended up removing the top screw and sandwiching a strip of butyl between the monitor and the rack ears. Seems to hold fine for now. If it starts to shake loose down the road, I could always tap out a new hole in the monitor case. The bottom screw on the ears, however, holds everything pretty securely on its own (for now)
  8. That's lame. It's my experience that people with attitudes like his don't have a very long career in this. Then again, there are always the exceptions
  9. One of my personal solutions for dealing with chest stubble it to mount the mic on the garment with a Rycote Overcover facing the chest. The fluffiness keeps the stubble from transmitting to the mic. However, if your's is an acoustic problem of the shirt itself making noise against the stubble, no mic trick is going to save you
  10. I don't have a 633, but logic would lead me to believe that you can have 2 separate outputs on this connector... Just make a cable that ties each hot lead of your mini to a separate source (T&R), and split your ground (S) to each of these connections.
  11. Got them installed. Happy so far, but I haven't actually passed signal through them yet. Still concerned about having monitors angled up at the sky, but that has nothing to do with the brand of monitor.
  12. I'm on my way to install them now. My concern stems more from my setup (which will have them angling up at me from a lie position -glare in full daylight being my worry) I'll update once I get them on the cart today
  13. Really, for me, the primary selling points were that A: these were the only SDI/Composite dual rack monitors that I knew of, and B: I need to be able to angle my monitors for an ideal viewing angle. I have been doing some cart modifications lately, and while I could have added an 80/20 swivel to accomplish the same end, I feel more secure with a straight mounting point attached in two places. Pouring over the specs though, the Delvcam monitors are higher resolution, a higher contrast ratio, and a good deal brighter (this is the spec that concerns me most) than the Marshall. The marshall's are also more power hungry than either the Delvcam or the BMD SmartDuo. The Marshall is a greater resolution than the BMD, but I couldn't find a published brightness spec (for the BMD)
  14. On the Marshall, you can turn monitors on and off individually (and the unit will remember its previous state on power-up). The rack ears are removable, and slightly pivot-able. There is also what appears to be a 1/4-20 thread mount on each side of the unit, that is accessible when the rack ears are removed.
  15. Funny timing! I just took delivery of a set of the new Marshall's yesterday. Going to install them tomorrow. http://www.lcdracks.com/monitors/LYNX/M-LYNX-702.php Without scrutinizing the specs of each, they appear to be very similar.
  16. It's common place to use a moulded earpiece at the end of a surveillance kit. The moulded earpiece does not plug the ear canal, and allows all sound from your headphones to be heard. Sure, it can be a bit distracting if you're not used to it... But you learn to adapt, and it becomes a mere annoyance, still allowing you to monitor your mix
  17. Will flipping the orientation work for your setup? Fairly easy to take the RA shell apart and flip the D-sub so that the cable exits to the rear of the nomad
  18. I would say that it's pretty safe to assume that many, if not most, narrative mixers prefer a more traditional signal flow (sources feed mixer, mixer feeds recorder). At present time, the only offerings by zaxcom are control surfaces for their recorders. Not everyone's cup of tea.
  19. Originally designed by my friend Jose Torres, for his company JTrain audio
  20. Plus, the passive filters alone (PF25), have less than 2dB of attenuation at the center of the pass-band, and less that 3dB at the ends. Sure, it's still a loss, but not make-or-break for most cases. We're on the same page, Justin. Our typing is just out of sync. Something about northern vs. southern hemispheres, water drain flow-direction, etc…
  21. True, but this will be the case in any circuit. If the loss shows itself to be an issue, you could, instead, use something along the lines of a UFM50, though at a higher cost.
  22. Entirely possible! You could insert at Lectro PF25 (in the block of your choosing) before a distro like the PSC to render it narrow band (25mhz, in the case of the lectro). On top of that, it would be much cheaper to swap passive RF filters, should you switch blocks with any regularity, than to own multiple distro units.
  23. Or, take it one step further. Cut the existing cable in the half, and add 1 TA3 to each (now) un-terminated side. Now you have 2 cables for the same amount of work and money as if you had just made a single new one!
