  1. After thinking about this situation, it clearly SUCKS!  So sorry this happened to you, John.  This is a prime example why this system WASN'T designed 

    for this application. I can't for the life of me understand why Lectro hasn't addressed this problem with a sensible solution. John, I hope you're able to resolve

    this problem with a very limited or no cost to you. Good luck!

    Has any thought been put into completing the camera hop system with a receiver with a six pin plug to be a reverse of the transmitter for us so we  (sound people) don't have to worry about the cable now used with the IFB unit coming unplugged at the camera? I also see the on/off volume knob going away. The old receivers would become very high end IFB's for directors, producers and Red Cameras.

    My thoughts exactly!  How hard would it be to include a threaded connector on the M2R, a simple solution...go figure!

  3. Jeff- I wish you would have shared this info to the community, had I known, I never would have purchased my HHB. It did serve me well, although always one step away from an ulcer worrying when it would crap out. It actually did die on me working on a Rudy Giuliani presidential campaign (cost me a client)...I was running a SD 744 for back-up and it saved my butt. Sorry to hear the bums took advantage of you...all in the past so we just push forward to better days 😁.  

  4. Jesse,  Please share the name of the production company so we can have a heads up. Or, feel free to name the show if you feel comfortable disclosing the info. As a professional community we should stand together. Sorry this has happened to you and I hope you’re able to recover your loss/damage.

     

    Good luck!

    I can almost guarantee they are lining up to do it...that job was filled on the next call...  It's off the hook right now... There is no shame... the wheels are off the buss..

     

    And it’s a race to the bottom for the younger group!

  6. About the same time, Vark Audio (through their "MacAurther Group" had a similar box they dubbed "PDQ", which I always assumed stood for "power damn quick". It had a circuit board in an extruded casing, using TA-4 female outlets and an optional 9V outlet. Pretty cool box. Similar uses but very different designs.

    And here you go....

  7. This is very sad news.

     

    I worked with Walt in the DC area on a "Movie of the Week".  He was such a great guy and I learned quite a few mixing techniques from him.  Even years later when I was confronted with a complex sound situation, Walt would always return my call with very helpful advice.

     

    My deepest condolences to Walt's family and close friends.

     

    RIP Walt
