got the 41. thanks for your replies guys!

That's quite a cut... Thanks

I know the 41s has a built in low cut for close miced speech. Is it suitable for booming or is the cut too much and sound thin from a distance?

All I can say is It works. As far as time and cost I don't know I bought mine pre-modified.

it's just an expensive xlr to mini adapter?

Have a RED shoot coming up. Is this thing necessary? can I just wire up some cables?

impressive!

How do you guys handle weekly or even monthly gigs? do you discount your rate, your gear (2 -3 day week? ) or both ( or neither! )

I just made one of these. After scouring the electrical department for an hour at my local hardware store looking for suitable dc power wire, I used lamp cord. it works

Excellent thanks guys!

I have the older softie kit with the round rubber mount. Looking to pick up a shockmount for a small hyper I plan on buying. I've been looking at the Rycote invision mount and wondering if i can also use it with my softie for shotgun use. I see that Rycote also had a separate lyre softie mount ( which seems more expensive) but am having trouble telling the difference between them. are they basically interchangeable for boom use with or without a softie?

I want to keep Backup AA batteries in my Fostex fr2 incase my BDS system fails. since these batteries will rarely if ever actually be used should I go alkaline, lithium or NiMH?

thank you for your quick replies

I am planing on making some color coded cables to run between my G3 Rx and mixer. I understand the cable acts as a diversity antenna, do I need to worry about the length?

Brand new kit. Haven't even brought it out yet Sennheiser 416 AT 815b ( practically free) EV RE50b 2 - Countryman B3's Sennheiser ME2

Assembling my first bag, tired of turning down work ( I'm a post guy ) So far bag consists of Wendt x5 Fostex fr2 w/ timecode card 2 Sennheiser g3 Sennheiser 416 Remote audio BDSv4 Batteries for Broadcast NP-1 So here's the question... The Fostex FR2 will only accept 12vDC. I am building a voltage regulator but not sure where to put it. I can put it post BDS to only supply 12v to the Fostex and 14.3 to the x5 and wireless, or put it pre BDS and supply 12v to everything. Thinking regulating the whole thing might give me a little extra battery life but think feeding the x5 14.3 might improve the headroom. Thoughts?
