Sorry for the late response, I did contact Radius before going into this, and i was told they are going to make an M/S setup for to 80xx senn series, but for MKH50/30 it'll take some more time. Radius lineup looks very cool at the moment, i wish i had 80xx so i could get it, but i worked with them mics i had. I just had that INV7 lying around, as it was the shockmount i was using for the MKH50, i was happily surprised to discover it easily bolts on to the Rode so that's what i used.

Hello again, after consulting and taking ideas from the people in this group i would like to do my service for future generations and show you what i built, inspired by Watsun Wu's minime, i bought a second hand Rode blimp, used heat to remove the locking rings, cleaned them up good, cut the blimp to size with scissors, put locking rings back on now short blimp, cut the metal rail, replace Rode's suspension with suspension from Rycote INV7. and made cables. I had some trouble with the cables, for some reason the mogami i got was not working well and i just went and got Canare starquad instead. I think it looks quite good, never had an intention to boom with it so the weight or how the suspension is handling is not the most important part for me. I am mostly interested in portability and environment protection.

On one hand I'm happy to hear I'm not alone and there's another person experiencing the same phenomena, but i don't understand how can it be. If i won't find some solution for this problem i don't think i could use this cable. But then, what did Miami intend this cable for? It says "multimicrophone cable" on it

I'd like to wake this thread, I'm building an M/S setup and got Mogami 2930 to make the cables, i'm encountring a strange problem of cable noise, i was using the cable to make the breakouts (2x 3pin XLR to 5pin XLR) extensions(5PIN XLR M/F) and i'm hearing noise when touching the cable, at first i thought i overheated the cables when soldering but than i redid it, and it kept appearing, what am i missing? I tried soldering the drain wire with the shield, and than tried to solder the drain to the shell tab on the XLRs Noises come up when phantom is activated and even when the other end of the cable is unplugged. My setup is MKH50 / MKH30 (not so relevant since noises come up even when unplugged) My plan is to make 2 male XLR to 5 pin XLR F (Mixer inputs to short 5pin) 5 pin XLR extension mic shockmount with 2 female XLR leading to 5 pin XLR M Cable is mogami 2930 the wiring is: 3 pin XLR: 1 shield 2 hot 3 cold which leads to the 5 pin XLR: 1 shield 2 hot L (Mid) 3 cold L (MID) 4 hot R (Side) 5 cold R (side) traeting it as a normal L/R cable, L,R grounds and shields are combined Thanks

@chrisP That's great, i think that's what i'll do Thanks for sharing!

That's definitely the right way to do it, though I'm not sure I'll go for it, or, not yet.

Now that seems like a very reasonable solution for me Thanks! I could consider that as well, but I'm located in Europe and i think even if they send it to me it'll be too expensive with customs and taxes. Didn't see any liquidation sales in Spain, where I'm located.

That 3D printing website looking very good! Rode blimp is a huge monster for those two small mics though. Thank you very much for your help, i really appreciate it

Ok, thanks for that tip, since i am not planning to handle this on a book and to only rescues ambiances i don't think I'll be too worried with handling noise. I will need to have a solution for wind though.

Just recently purchased a second hand MKH30 to pair with my existing MKH50 for stereo MS ambiences, and it seems like windshields for this set up are not a common thing for some reason. I am sure i'm not alone using (or trying to use) this set up for stereo MS in the field, so show me your set ups please I could set it up on my Rycote Nano Shield but the two mics seem too tall since the nano shield is a flat oval shaped blimp, or could purchase something new or fabricate something maybe. I also own an INV 7 suspension which could hold the two mics probably but i'd still need to find some windshield that fits two mics like that. I was hoping to have it in some blimp since they handle weather better than softie type windshields. I am not planning at the moment to have this on a boom, only on a little portable tripod. Thanks!

Thanks, much appreciated, that'll be my next step

Thank you both very much, useful info here for me. My plan is to start working with these in the beginning with the whip antenna only, but later i might add an antenna distribution system, will that work in combination with Lectro stuff? could i combine my SrB's and UCR and the Audio limited into one antenna system? Thanks for you answer

Hey everyone, I am looking at the now older A10 TX from Audio Limited/ Sound Devices Not much info on them anywhere and i'm looking for people's impressions. Main use would be wireless boom, but i'd like to hear as well how they operate as normal lav transmitters, How's the battery drain, range, sound, on board limiters, or any other important info i might've left out. Thanks

I think we definitely need to have presence as pro users of Sony, that was exactly my point, these units have a very versatile potential, cheap wireless lav with the option for a great IFB system all in one. Can you elaborate on the problem you have with the plug on? I also have one (not very pleased with)

That's the attitude i'm looking for here, I know clients that will immediately lose concentration when talking about buttons and menus, it should be kept short for them. Trying to take the proactive approach i emailed Sony support and they replied to me that they sent my suggestions to japan.
