  1. Just ran a test using "Line level only cables" and added the +4 to the SR unit which seems to match my mixer now. Line level sounds better to me, and I was able to keep the SMa LED -10 / -20 at a solid green when sending tone. When testing with a Lav the LED stayed green at -10 / -20 green mostly touching into red when I pushed it on the mixer. The 702T was matching the mixer levels so everything seems to be working out well with these tests. My last question would be, is it normal to see the SMa Led flash into the Red at -20 if I'm pushing it on my mixer? Thanks again for the SR suggestion on +4, that helped out a lot.
  2. Thanks for the responses, I am using Lectros MC-41 cables for XLR out of my 552. Do you guys tend to go Line Level or Mic level to the SMa when using this set up as a HOP? I do have a set of Canarie XLRF to TA5F that are strictly line level which I'm planning on testing. Will run some more tests switching out the cables.
  3. You must have some sort of special search feature I am lacking. Here is what my search comes back with... and I added "Larry" into the search.
  4. I have done a search already through the forums and haven't been able to find a direct answer for this. Most of the results come up with for sale items etc. Please bare with me as my technical knowledge with this unit is limited. I've used a Lectrosonics SRB before with UMC200s and have been able to send line level without a problem. I'm using sending tone as a reference point for the LED levels. My latest set up I plan to use a Lectro SRa and SMa x2 for a camera hop. I ran some tests earlier and using line level through my 502 SD to the SMa. When I sent tone it was causing the red/green LED to show -10DB (green) / -20DB (solid red). Speaking through a lav caused both LEDs to hit immediately Red (which I'm assuming is no good). The audio level on the SMa had been set to 0. The other test I ran was using Mic level from my 502 SD to the SMa and adjusting the SMa audio to around +40. Sending tone this way seemed like an okay level but when I spoke into the lav, both -10DB / -20DB were solid red. The final test was setting the 502 SD mixer to -10DB and adjusting the SMa to +16DB. This seemed to hold the tone level and the LEDs on the SMA were both green at -10DB / -20DB. Speaking into a lav the SMa was reading -20DB (green) / -10DB (mostly green and into the red when I was pushing it on the mixer). My question is there an ideal level (Mic / Line / -10DB) for the SMa and SRa as a camera hop set up? I have the SRa unit currently being fed into my 702T at line level... I noticed when I was monitoring the 702T I was only able to get the level to reach close -12dbFS? Which is strange because on my 502SD I'm able to to get to 8dbFS or past (into the limiter range). Not that I record to the limiter but I was trying to see if I could push the SRa / SMa to match what my 552 was mixing. Is there is a built in limiter on the SRa that is squelching limiting the signal? Currently the SRa has been set to 0DB. Any help with this set up would be greatly appreciated. I will be using this in the field starting next week.
  5. I have had this exact same problem on a recent shoot. Using (2) 200UMC with a recently SRa to SRb upgrade. I purchased the pricey lectrosonics MC41 cables in hopes fixing it. Glad to know I'm not the only one having this issue.
  6. Hi all, this is my first post so please bare with me if this question is repetitive. I did do a search for this question. I've been sound mixing for over a year now and have started this endless cycle of acquiring equipment on a budget. I recently purchased a Lectro UCR211 Receiver to work along side my UCR201. I've noticed there are two options in regards to transmitters, the UM200B and UM200C. Are there any major differences between the two models? Or is the B and C a way to determine what blocks they are on? Again my apologies to the newbie question, still much to learn on my end... thanks!
