No price increase here in Switzerland. It even lowered due to xchange rates. Probably also a factor € vs $.

You should do a test with the crew. As even the choice of the compendium can have an impact on the vibration noises. The magazines are also a big factor of sound if it's an old not cared one. The bad film loop can also give you problem. Is it SR1 or 416? Big difference in the evolution of the cameras. But film passing through the gate is such a sweet sound ... 😉

Nominated for Best Original Score at 2025 Oscars for The Brutalist

Thanks for the link. Nice to listen to him. Patrick PS: soo many cameras and none recorded the sound of his mic....

Oscar nominated "The Brutalist" score recorded with Sonosax R4+ & AD8+. An interview with the composer Daniel Blumberg : https://pitchfork.com/features/interview/the-brutalist-composer-daniel-blumberg-on-his-striking-oscar-nominated-score/

The M2D2 is totally another tech based on dual AD (that came out before Zaxcom's and is a bit different). The M2D2 is really close to the AD8+ preamp and R4+ recorder series wich have a bit less compromise due to more power draw capability. The SX-ST VT is 100% analog no AD conversion before EQ. As there is no AD there is no need of a dual AD structure. Still the best for a battery powered audio preamp and mixer.

For music lovers there is also the SX-VT line wich has rare specs : "Wide bandwidth10Hz to 200kHz, suitable for SACD and next converters generations" Sonosax pream use proprietary tech than others and permits such a wide bandwidth. People love to speak about 32bit headroom but first you have to get some sound to record. 😉 Patrick

And no need of big power converters... Simple usb-c converter. I still have to test their charging speed.

Try a SX-ST sometimes you got one to sell on Facebook This is a SX-ES wich is the little brother of the ST. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=8860698820714312&set=g.422226551455412

FYI, Arri's AEM-1 Audio module from Alexa35 is also compatible https://www.arri.com/en/camera-systems/camera-components/aem-1

I was amaized by the build quality. It looks like it's machined aluminium. You can't make it smaller. Even Jacques Sax is impressed 😉

Feel free to ask any questions 😉 Patrick

A good preamp is your friend.

Do someone know if there are tools to tackle the problems of specific sounds like cow bells. Not on dialogue but on nature or wild tracks? Thanks a lot. Patrick Tresch

Hello, I'm looking for a sound report software that isn't Wave agent wich is great for a start but there is a lack of features and it need a lift up. Any ideas. Would love to enven buy a license if there is a new tool in development. Patrick
