some of the consumer 32 bit recorders only have a single ADC and as such, 1 gain stage

I'm currently trying to put together a Schoeps active mk4v/41v/8 dms rig, and have been reading your blogs. I just need to find someone selling the old DMS mount...

I accidentally bought the wrong form factor smart battery, so I was wondering if anyone has any experience wtih the RH2024HD34 from Inspired Energy. The connectors seem ALMOST identical, and support the same smb smart battery protocols, so I was wondering if anyone has a cup adapter or a cup to hirose cable.

For recorders, if you're only utilizing 1 or 2 microphones, the new tascam FR-AV2 and the Zoom F3 are both really good, really small options.

Did you ever decide if you were going to make these a product? I'm currently looking for a bag for my r4+

X-Y, if done correctly, can be mathematically converted into mid-side, and is exactly as mono compatible as mid-side is. Near coincident techniques such as DIN, NOS, and ORTF are less so.

I've had great results from the Sony WH1000s and WF1000s, and the current air pod pros from apple. The noise canceling is very effective, and the transparent mode is good at reducing noise while still letting you be aware of your surroundings.

Using the headphone control, I turn off mic inputs from the headphones, and the hiss goes away completely, even if I turn the headphones up to +24. I usually run them at -20.

Ok, listening I can hear some hiss at -20db volume on the JH13s. I'd never noticed it before, it's very quiet at that level. If I turn the mic preamps off, it goes away.

are you powering it via usb or internal battery? My m2d2 has a silent headphone amp (that sounds particularly good) with my JH13s.

or just put your phone in airplane mode while recording. That's what I do.

my understanding is the potential problem is at the louder end of things, so you'd probably not notice the difference in most testing.

from page 29 of the manual, the tascam x8 has a choice between 24v or 48v phantom power.

I wanted DPA to reterminate my mmp-gs cables with microdot (the cable was damaged just above the connector) and they wouldn't. Just a data point. The charge to NOT reterminate my cables was more than $50 per cable as a diagnosis fee. I'd sent them pictures of the damage before hand. Does anyone know someone who would?

a little heat shrink and some tech flex and that can easily become 1 cable with a Y at either end...
