I thought the recommendation for DPA’s with Lectro was a 3-4k resistor?
-
You’ll be happy with Ambient.

I was just talking about wireless timecode systems in general vs the traditional jam it once manually and attach method as it relates to my suggestion of trying to find some older Ambient Lockits without wireless sync. Some people love their wireless timecode setups but it does introduce more ways for things to go wrong. I’ve always thought of it as a solution looking for a problem.

Only thing I can say about the ultra sync boxes is that they blink differently than every other timecode box and slate I’ve ever seen and that was enough to make me hate them. That and the mini RF connectors they use. I’d recommend Ambient. Or Denecke. If size on camera is not an issue and you’re on a budget look for some used ACLs. Any generation really. Wireless timecode is overrated if you ask me.

So sorry for your loss, Jeff. If there’s any way we can support you at this time please let us know.

Hmm. 2 channels per rack unit. Hard to be excited about that with everything else available. Good for them though. Surely there will be other receivers down the road.

Check that the RC setting on the transmitter is set to “on” otherwise it will ignore the dweedle tones.

Yes! I would like to see some more legitimate audio quality testing on SD stuff. Now that they are the defacto standard in our area of sound recording (and also owned by a larger conglomerate) we should resist the tendency to assume that it’s always the best sound quality or that all of their marketing claims are spot on. Trust but verify! I’d also like to know how the A20-tx on a boom pole handles large dynamic range scenes. Low to shouting kind of stuff.

Derek H replied to Dr Neil Hillman MPSE's topic in Current
Excellent, thank you! -
Seriously
-
All this testing great but what a terrible format to present the data. Links to his spreadsheets at least would be helpful. Of course there’s no way to monetize a link to a spreadsheet. I blame YouTube.

If you use rack gear and run AC into a power supply/distro like a PSC or Meon or even into a Furman you may find that the cart ends up grounded through the rack rails. Pretty sure on my Furman at least there’s continuity between the safety ground pin and the rack ears. You could insulate it I suppose. But I think you’ll find ground continuity all over your cart once cabled up. For what it’s worth we always plug into whatever power our electric dept makes available to us and have never had an issue. Maybe we’ve just been lucky.

Careful you don’t blow up your RF Explorer front end connecting it directly to a transmitter. Not sure what the max signal input is. May want to at least start with the lowest transmitter power. Good thinking though!
