My apologies to bug you about a wiring question, but I've looked online, on the Posthorn website, in my show room, and here on the forum: What do you think would be the most give-and-take wiring for buying a sonotrim mic, or a tram, or any lavalier for that matter? I do use my xlr connectors quite a bit, for interviews, but my current lavs are all over the place: a 4-pin for a sony ECM, and a microdot for a dpa, etc. As for wireless I'm mostly on the sidelines between lectrosonics or zaxcom, even if I rent them for many years to come. But that's just the thing: I don't understand from the zaxcom material whether the same 5-pin connection that I wired for a lectro lav would work straight into their transmitters. And on the flipside, if my budget is smaller or someone has acquired a sennheiser set-up, is the 5-pin still going to be the best starting point? Do you foresee this standard sticking around for awhile or are you thinking that you'll rewire your lavs differently any time soon? And as you can see, none of my current lavs are wired for any transmitters out of the box. Makes me wonder what foot I started off on! Cheers to you
