    I think they are. But it wouldn't be the end of the world if I had to use the X+ instead of the M+ if I was super super ultra tight for space. 

    Keep a close eye out for news of support for the StudioLogic Mixface! Fingers crossed this happens. 

    As that's even smaller than the X+

    iCON X+ = 335(L) x 196(W) x 58(H)mm

    StudioLogic Mixface = 26.2 x 13.0 x 3.6 cm

     

    Someone posted on Facebook a pic of the Mixface in use with their Sound Devices recorder, so hopefully we should maybe see the official announcement soon-ish in the new year:

    May be an image of text that says 'studiologic SLIMIXFACE Master I|1'

    The owner says it just works without SD’s firmware.

    Just thought some here - if not already aware - might like to hear about Rycote's new mics (following up on their two shotgun mics introduced last autumn), courtesy of Simon Clark's brief intro:

    Having had three of the shotgun mics for the last year, I'm currently testing the supercardioid and cardioid models and, hopefully, the omni next week, so will post a link to test/review (with wav files) in due course. Impressed so far. Now, if there was to be a fig 8 too...!

     

    Cheers,

    Sounds great. I am wondering what mic is used for the presenter? sound really good for me.

    So to anyone interested - figured it out. It was the line input on my 833 which was defective.... Jeez.

     

    Picture on the left: 1k -20dB sin into channel 6

    Right: into channel 5

     

    Not cool, especially since i had the unit serviced already for the exact same occurrence on CH1.

    Just wondering what SD said when you got serviced before? They mentioned anything about the issue and how they fixed? 

     

  4. I’ve beeing using CMIT5U over 11years, Still my first choice for in/out door shoot. These days I hardly use my indoor gefell m310 Hypercardioid for multicam shoot which is hard to get the reach, and am considering buy Sanken CS-M1 cause CMIT is quite lengthy needing more compact set up.

    Inspired by other sound mixers, as well as the soundbag dashboards, I commissioned this little dashboard from Drew Martin of Audio Cables & Accessories (ACE). It’s 3D printed, but has a clever way of securing the receivers/distro in place by tightening the front end screws with an allen wrench. This bag is super light and tight, especially due to the modified Condor bag which weighs virtually nothing. Not pictured is the Comtek transmitter in the left pocket, and Camera Hop transmitter in the right pocket, as well as the eSmart battery in the front pouch. Drew also made me custom low profile cables for everything.

    Beautiful, do you see much difference in range and stability between Wisy and Lectro? I have Wisy, and am figuring out if I should get another Wisy54 or something else.

    This SOS "news" are for sure not facts. If anything, it is just interpretations... and crude agenda driven ones. Or if you want, it's alternative media producing alternative facts.

     

    A rather undisputed fact is, that there is a political discussion in Germany for a mandatory vaccination for nurses.

    As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather have vaccinated nurses around me when I need that professional care and vaccinated people on set when I work.

    How do you know that is not fact, the Australia case. You are not in Australia now. I just wanna check what’s going on around the world.

    I have a few well known clients that require you to be vax’d to work for them.  Another network client that if you are, you submit your vax info and are then given a permanent “pass” clearing you, but if not, you must test every time before you work in the field or go into their studio.  Others are all over the place with some requiring masks and/or testing and others not even asking vax status or testing.  
     

    Some have hard and fast rules that are non-negotiable, some seem to be practicing “medical theater” and still some others don’t seem to really care or are operating under a “don’t ask, don’t tell” philosophy.  I was on the west coast shooting last weekend and got booked for a shoot back in-town for Tue.  Nothing was ever mentioned about Covid testing.  I landed at home Monday afternoon and had finally received an email with details, and of course it mentioned testing and billing it back.  I replied that I could not get tested before the shoot the next morning. I was not turning what was left of my day upside down trying to accommodate what was to me, a last minute request. When the PC called me they said a rapid was fine, and when I pushed and asked if testing was a deal-breaker, they said no.  So I did not test before their shoot(but did provide proof of vaccination).  And no one on-site even asked about testing or vax status.  The CCO took our temps shortly after arriving and we wore masks.   That was it…

    I have gotten PCR tested over 50 times till now for work and Vaccinated crew also have to get tested too, cause of Vaxx doesn’t work. Over 41% got covid even with vaccination here in Korea. So, it doesn’t matter if you are vaccinated or not, just need PCR test for everyone.

     

  7. I am Just wondering If other countries ask "vaccine pass or card" when contracting or before production starts. In Korea, some of the productions ask vaccine pass but not manies but need PCR test like 2 times a week. 
     

    Another curiousity to Americans. Is it true? Vaccine exemptions with thses people?


    for example,
    Congress people 535

    and their all aides. 12,000

    All FDA & CDC workers. 6,000

    All US Postal workers. 600,000

    Chinese exchange students(a lot)

    All White House members and workers. 6,000

    HHS 8,000

     

    and so on.

     

    Is it true? Really curious.

    Ok, thanks! That’s very interesting! You also mentioned the Sony UWP-D system, which I also looked into. Would you say they are a viable alternative to the MPR52 if I actually just need something more stable and less prone to RF hits than the Sennheiser G3/G4 and not all of the hi end features of the Wisycoms?

     

     

    Not an alternative at all to MPR52. Sony UWP-D is much much better in terms of RF stability than G3/G4, but Sony's self noise is pretty or very distracting(not smooth modulating). In some cases even you would hear digitally stepping noise when voice ups and downs. You should not use on serious gigs, only for camera hops or IFB, YouTube gigs, something equivalent use. 
    With SMA mod and external powered antenna, Sony has great range too. but that's it, and all.

  9. I did a test with Wisy MPR52 and two Tx on frequency diversity mode and true diversity mode with only one TX. In true div. mod, I get 15-20% better in range at the first signal drop point compared to 2 Tx freq. div. antenna mod(2ch).

    Comparing antenna dv. mod to true dv. mod.(both 1 ch), they are almost same in range but antenna dv mod makes very sudden audiable signal drop outs when switching antennas.
    And did another test right there with Sony Uwp d11 series which I believe antenna diversity. Sony is very very close to Wisy's true diversity on Mpr52, slight less under 5% in range.

    Yes or course! We are talking about the plug-ins. That’s software. Although you were at first complaining in general about Sound Devices prices. That includes hardware. 

    and to quote Ironfilm:

     

    „Unfortunately people don't see bits of software the same as they see hardware“

     

    And it’s strange how you and Iron won‘t see the irony when you are both exactly like that! It’s software, so it should be free, right?

    Sorry, man. Your memory is pretty bad. Don’t wanna say anymore on this.

    Ok fine. I‘m mis-remembering Zaxcom‘s policy. It’s completely beside the point and only a distraction. 
    But you two are doing a fine job focussing on where I was wrong instead of where I was right. 
     

     


    Funny you should say that. It’s the same thing Sound Devices are doing, except they are coming in from the other end. Still the same deal: you get to decide what you need and pay accordingly. And you retain the possibility to decide this in the future, as and when you need the extra features 

    I am not talking about hardware thing, but software price and its policy.

    So 16.

    What they also did was force you to pay to unlock functions the recorder was already capable of to get from Nomad 10 to Nomad 12. 

    Not true. Zaxcom only launched full Nomad 12 at the beginning. I bought that machine at that time because no other options on Nomad..then later added other 6/10....which is great for only few inputs needed people with reduced prices as it should. 

    If Zax did, SoundDevices must have learnt from them. SD833.....888....Scorpio...?? What's the different??  Just remove in/outputs and add Dante or No Dante.
