First, why close this thread? Even if it has taken a dark turn, that’s a representation of the world today, and it needs to be addressed. Second, places have different names in different locations. For example, here in Germany (and I believe Sweden, too?) we call it the „East Sea“ (similar to North Sea). Almost everyone else calls it the Baltic Sea. I honestly do not see a big problem with renaming something. That‘s not an authoritarian trait (ironically, Google has done this in other places, too, usually when there are authoritarian leaders). Governing by executive order could be seen as authoritarian, but previous presidents have done that, too. And some of Trumps orders have been blocked by courts, which is the exact opposite of authoritarian. We don’t know what’s to come yet, and I have a feeling Rado may yet regret his words, but so far I don’t see it. Third, it’s easy to laugh at the EU from a distance, even a familial distance. And a lot is laughable. On the other hand, I can’t think of any other place that done so much for consumer rights and well-being. They even managed to break Apple‘s will and got them to switch to the USB-C connector. It‘s never easy to get 27 countries to agree on anything, and sometimes that may appear funny or ridiculous or whatever and they may land on the smallest possible compromise which may appear laughably small, but that’s how it works and is also the exact opposite of authoritarianism. Of course, Rado mostly refers to the military capabilities of the EU, for whatever reason, and it’s true, there is a clear lack of capability, although I wouldn’t underestimate France, Italy, Spain and the UK. Yes, I included the UK in this. Still, the EU has been complacent and lazy in this regard and has relied too much on the US, and this needs to be remedied. I know you think you are clear-eyed and have great insights thaz nobody else has, Rado, but you are wrong on almost every level in this thread, Rado, way off. And if you or anyone else don’t know what China and Russia are doing to their own people, then inform yourselves. It’s no secret. I‘d suggest we revisit this thread in a couple of years and see who will need to eat their words

Oh I somehow didn’t realize that you needed to buy an additional receiver. Maybe hold off buying until you find one with the correct frequency?

So you sign on here just to comment on a two year old topic and then don’t even read it, apparently? Absolutely nobody said that it couldn’t be done. They said it‘s tricky and compromises will need to be made. Advice to the specific question was also given

My condolences, Jeff. So sad to lose a loved one.

I don’t know these receivers well, do they expect a pilot tone? If so, it likely won’t work, but in any case what’s stopping you from just trying it out?

But isn’t that technical? When you can’t use the boom because of framing, shadows, and whatnot? No, I will always note that in my report, but I do think that it would be pretty much self-explanatory from simply listening to the mix…

yes, that’s what I do sometimes, too. But I‘m sure you would put a very clear note in the sound report.

I am curious what’s on the mix track, though, as that should highlight the mixer’s intentions

Unless you actually are in the UK buying from there has become somewhat more complicated… Remote Audio also makes decent lo-profile XLRs (but I would say that as I sell them in Germany), but I am not sure at the moment if they fit your size requirements. Any reputable audio shop in Europe probably makes their connectors, albeit usually with a fixed cable angle. For example, Kortwich makes really good and really small connectors and I‘m sure many others do, too

That’s a good question. I did have cables that were either too long or too thin, as I have quite a distance to cover from battery to K-art and they wouldn’t work properly. I need to look it up as I am not near my cart at the moment

Well, by now everything works very well. Turns out I did have an unregulated output on the K-Art and on it I now have the Scorpio. Everything runs very stable now and I really like this setup.

Yeah, because small things are always easy and cheap…

that would be a definite yes. In fact, the 2017 will sound better than the 416 in every situation.

Depending on how precise you need it, knowing that’s very roughly 1dB loss for every 3 meters of cable length might be all you need

No, I would not. I need all the good will for another take for when something really bad happens and I really need another take
