6061 is the go to mic with ZMT series. All the other mics I have will have distortion sooner or later. 4063, 6060, B6, Kodi and even COS11 - you name it. Took me a while (and some money) to finally found the proper match.

+1 on the big screws! Had them squeak after a SFX rain day. Some silicone spray solved the noise.

that IS funny

I learned: minus optical sound

that’s way too short for set life. You can’t wait for the battery to die but need to change when still safe AND in an appropriate moment to approach the actor. So it’s 2:30 at max which means up to 3 batteries until lunch break. Not cool.

I never use it with BT on set. Either hardwired or radio link. Today I forgot to disable BT on my phone and was connected to the JBL. Guess what?! It shut off by itself after I didn’t play anything on BT. So it could really be the BT …

the warning is for the CMR not the new CMC1 SO

It’s probably the most wanted Schoeps product for us production sound mixers: https://schoeps.de/produkte/colette/mikrofonverstaerker/cmc-1-so.html can’t wait to check this one out perfect for car dialog?!

I‘ll take (check) one too! 😉

Awesome! Director asked me more than once to play mood score to the actors. Shooting in a big soundstage and this small beast is filling it up (to a degree)

I have this speaker on set since 25 days now. All day on battery. No shut off whatsoever.

Another Matthias from Berlin here 😉 you gonna need an adapter. Zaxcom is offering those themself. Or the one from Gene Martin. Also available through Ambient

Just don’t use hardline signals 😉 Been using my CS208 for the last 15 years with all Zaxcom wireless including Booms.

1899 shooting-day 1 today. Excited to mix this new adventure from the creators of DARK. https://deadline.com/2021/05/1899-netflix-creators-dark-talk-europes-largest-virtual-production-stage-multilingual-series-1234747377/?fbclid=IwAR3AKMQBqxhL2IGUh4GWjGypZjVVHYih2SV8fUoqIaSEamtf9FvqYrvfOzc

High impedance. One output with passiv Sennheiser shark fin. The other output a Betso Sharkie. Betso stays off if the passive ant is attached.

Fyi: Zaxcom RX12R can supply 12V bias but if one (open) passive antenna is hooked up the DC will shut off.

We have started prep for our new journey: 1899. The master minds behind Dark (Jantje and Bo) are writing and the LED - „volume“ is getting installed. No real traveling unfortunately but I am happy to shoot at all in this restricted time of C19. Glad you enjoyed Dark!!

is the TV-Lift on 12V out of the box? I‘ve seen one but that needed 24V ...

Adjustable height is really cool. I have to exchange my cases this winter and thinking about it too. Just afraid of too much headache and trial and error. You went with a TV-lift this time?

this would be perfect as private line comms between mixer, booms and utility - if it works as claimed.

I found the DNS2 does not work too well on traffic noise or anything with low frequency content for that matter. The lows go up and down with the dialog. Audible and distracting. Its magic on fans and indoor ambience though.

Are you going hard wired into your mixer? Then yes you should be ok. If using a wireless boom then you might overload the input of your tx without the MZF.

in my case the app Legacy needed jws on its whitelist

Using Haze as the theme doesn’t make any difference here. I will try and see which of my ad-blockers is causing the blocking and put jws on it’s white list. Using several ones - so it needs some testing.

I just noticed that I have to deactivate my ad-blocker. Otherwise I‘ll get no content when opening any thread.
