Lectrosonics ucr 211 the bottom XLR input has a spring like ring that has popped out from where it belongs. Battery door now swings open and XLR input falls out. How do I get it back together, I'd rather not have to gaffer tape it together tomorrow. Thanks a lot

I think its between the Audix SCX1-HC and the Oktava MK-012 HC I will stay clear of the ME series mics I appreciate everyones input.

Thank you ! Appreciate it

What are the mentioned "possible issues" with oktava MK 012-01? I didnt see any info on known issues with a google search. I see a used Oktava on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Oktava-MK-012-01-Condenser-Mic-w-Cardioid-Capsule-10dB-Pad-Case-Clip-NICE-/300847577757?pt=US_Pro_Audio_Microphones&hash=item460be9ba9d Thats low price for sure. Any other opinions on the Oktava ? How does it compare to my 416 as far are quality and rejection of unwanted echo and noise? Never researched it before.

Audio-Technica AT4051b is $600 at B&H You saying theres a significant difference? to be specific as far as cost, its $450 for the Senn ME64/K6/ and foam I hate being cheap on equipment, but this is an area I'd like improvement on for the exact situation I mentioned. Have you /do you own both?

First let me just say this: I'm looking to expand my gear but without breaking the bank....so please don't recommend other better pricey options (Schoeps or Nuemann) . The ME64 with K6 and foam would cost me under $500 and it seems like a steal of a deal. My question is, for indoor use, dialog only, mounted boom application(no handling noise) to (hopefully) within 2 feet of subject, am I going to hear a noticeable difference in reducing room echo, and can it better reject any other less desired sounds using the Senn ME64/K6 over what I am now using , my Sennheiser 416 ? What else can I expect from a ME64/K6 and are there similar priced better options, ....OR maybe its not even worth the relatively small investment to use over my 416 for the above indoor situation? Thanks for your opinions !!

I'm also with you. A lot of factors can make one system sound better than the other...but in a perfectly controlled experiment (both perfectly tuned, perfect proper lavs, same environmental situation, I would doubt theres a difference in quality that anyone would notice...at least anyone that employs you will notice. Ive never had an editor ask me "Hey, were you using that 211 system again?" That being said, if its true that the range is better with a 211 system, (not saying it is, but Ive heard this) and if cost is an issue, I would prefer the 211 system with a fresh tune up. Use some of the the $ saved for this tune up, and put the rest of the $ saved towards other gear you may need.

I really doubt anyone can hear a difference in quality between a 411 and 211 system. I own both, but generally when looking for another system, I look for a 211 system first, for value reasons. 211's may be needing a tune up, cause theyre older but they are rock solid and my favorite value for performance and cost. Dont go for the 201, 401 systems. Not worth the potential issues of lacking the front end filters. Even if you think it will only be used as a hop, you still want something that can be in your bag without hesitation. I've read that ucr211/um200 systems may have better range. Possible, but there are so many variables out there I cant say for sure.
