  1. Do you have the link to this info? I don't believe Beauviala was ever in contact with Kudelski to develop the preamps. This industry is small, Beauviala and Jacques Sax where good friends, probably that Beauviala also knew Mr. Kudelski. But I believe Beauviala, in contrary of Jacques Sax, never worked for or with Kudelski.
  2. You ment Jacques Sax (owner of Sonosax) was at Kudelski. Not Beauviala.
  3. Francois Musy once told that he rediscovered the sound of his SuperCmit using the Sonosax’s SX-R4+ aes input. Could the preamp also change the sound of it?
  4. So the most logic step considering : metadata between camera and sound with a world domination in the field of cinema production, would be for Arri to buy Aaton ... But usually Arri develops the idea from others to make "their" stuff. They don't like to buy companies. The king is dead long live the king. Pat
  5. Cantar is a niche product. Expensive to make due to R&D and software development. You better be small not to make bankruptcy or you would have to kill the product and make something for the masses on a lower budget.
  6. Hello, Just heard that Aaton (Cantar) is in bankruptcy. Looks like they don’t make any service of the machine.
  7. Best preamp ever done on a portable recorder is in the Sonosax SX-R4+. If you need more tracks with preamp you can use the SX-AD8+ module and stay digital with AES connection. It's also often used for classical music recording. No transformer, you get a clean preamps with the highest dynamic range on the market. It's also small and modular. (I'm not a Sonosax seller 😉 ) For some examples : https://www.facebook.com/groups/422226551455412/user/572779073 Patrick
  8. Their dual AD is also a well known trick dating back from the telecinema times in the 80's. Sonosax had it also implemented before them and Arri is also using it in their Alexas camera... nothing new. Bright idea to patent the wheel... Patrick
  9. Did Zaxcom patent the mixing of tracks ? 🤣
  10. Usually post shout on low levels when there is only noise to dig but when you have good preamps it's not a problem to have low level as it keeps the sound clear even if you push it (reasonably) in post. IMHO it's less job to put a +10dB in post than to clean clipping.
  11. Sonosax SX-R4+ & RX8+. 16 track recorder Wisycom MCR54 4 channel reciever Ready to recieve another MCR54 when 8 HF needed.
  12. True but how long? Some allready use automix and it won’t get better with ai entering the field.
  13. ? You can shoot 25p and do a 50i extraction. Wich is called Psf
  14. Just for the director to hear the line? 32bit means do it in post. Phase, mix, equal, …. Titanic 1 was recorded on a Nagra mono. With a Sonosax Mixer. You had to nail it.
  15. Will the boom operator be more important (and knowledgeable than the recordist (no more mixing needed when using iso 32bit)… ?
  16. But DIT recieve a Teradek signal. There are no cameras that are hardwired to the DIT IMHO. I think the DIT could receive a real 4k (and expensive) HF link to check the look on a mastering monitor and then send a downsampled HD feed to the crew.
  17. But your video assist recieve a wireless signal or is it hard wired to the camera? My shoots are Teradek’s 500 or 6 Not all systems can send and recieve 4k for now. And they are so expensive that they usually are not used. Or only for video village and after down converted to 2k or HD for the rest. Or some accept 4k signals but send it downconverted. buy a >1500 nit monitor
  18. Very interesting article Fred, thanks for pointing that out. Patrick https://www.soundonsound.com/sound-advice/q-how-do-shotgun-mics-work
  19. Isn’t in front under the breast the most protected area? I think there are a lot of back contacts during the fight for the ball wich could harm the player.
  20. Bad preamp with a lot of gain on it, don't get you more DR. It's just loosing the DR of that preamp. It won't get you more DR out of your preamp (noise to clipping range). Ideally you should have the best preamp in the world without gain to keep the whole 24bit DR (135db?) more you push you gain less headroom (DR) you get before you clip. But who mixes at -60db ?... So you put some gain to get a workable sound level. Is my thinking right?
  21. Today I would look at Deity. The Theos has just been announced. https://deitymic.com/products/theos-digital-wireless/ And absolutely test them. Nice addition to our arsenal. Big features for that budget. Patrick
  22. If I could, I would wait 12 months. But today I went with Wysicom. Lectro is also my big favorite, and I love their company philosophy. But the MCR54 sold me to Wysicom. I'm using a Sonosax SX-RX8.
  23. It's not about if a camera should record sound or not... Neither if it's the job of the dop to do it... But just if a camera can technically handle it or not. Here to start with that topic :
  24. Yes, a 30 min drive. And visiting their factory was impressive. I've never seen such a mute room / anechoic room where they precisely test their speakers. And the people are really nice .
