  1. Yep, after reboot it sounds fine. I went ahead and re-terminated the pin without the resistor. The issue was still present. After hours upon hours of experimenting, I found my issue. In the pictures I took before re-soldering the connectors entirely, I saw that the jumper between pins 3 and 4 were making contact with an exposed portion of the shield in pin 1. After shrink tubing the shield and wiring both the 4061 and 6061 with no chance of the shield and jumper touching, the problem went away. Basically this has turned into a PSA post on doing proper soldering and cable management.
  2. Need some tech advice! Pop and hiss on DPA 40/6061! For reference I am using a lectrosonics SMA and SM tx going to a UCR 411a. The LAV mics are a DPA 40/6061 wired for Ta5F. I use a 1k ohm resistor in the wiring as I do them myself to save some $$ and the 3k-4k makes them just a bit to soft for standard speaking. The client we worked with today had a habit of cupping their hands and putting them to her chest. Whenever this happens a loud pop occurs, and then the audio becomes full of hiss. I can unplug the mic, then plug it back in or turn off the tx and it would sound fine after. But has damaged occurred to my DPA lavs at this point? It sounds like they were overloaded potentially? Looking to hear your thoughts and how I can prevent this in the future? Here is a clip of exactly what happened:
  3. No worries friend, no need to apologize. As I was coming over from the 200 series all of my mics are wired for legacy transmitters, and they’ve worked great on my um200c’s. No servo wirings yet I’m afraid.
  4. I've emailed Lectro already, but I'm curious if anyone can help me in here. I recently purchased some secondhand x2 ucr411a's and a um400 unit. They are in great physical condition and the UCR411a's are as amazing as ever. However, the UM400 unit is giving me some trouble with its connection. Whenever I plug in a mic I get a low frequency rumble and static. I'll link audio recordings of the problem here https://youtu.be/mea6MYKZA7I and I'll include pictures of the connector/internals of the unit here as well. (not going to take apart the motherboard because I'm scared lol) Stinks because I just got these, but I wanna see if its a simple fix or needs a trip to the mothership. Cheers soundies and thank you Lectro for the awesome products.
