Symbioth Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Hello guys! Just got a project job and they have a kind of wierd demands. They want in-ear systems, but both transmitter AND reciever should be stationary, without any batteries in the reciever...so I can't use any in-ear systems I know. Shame to confess, but I never faced this kind of wireless systems before..I mean pro types. They don't want portable recievers with batteries, and shipping those adapters(can't remember the model) for Sennheiser to Ukraine is kind of hard now. Someone got any advice on that?? Please?) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfisk Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 There are a couple of ways this can be dealt with, but with the current gear we normally work with it's all kind of McGuyver'ed and creates a lot more work to get done. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like that there will be no transmitters or receivers on the talent? If this is the case then I'm assuming this is talking head stuff? If people are moving around I don't see how this will work at all because if there are no batteries involved then that means everything is tethered to power and that means running cables all over the place. Am I understanding this correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Ear Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I don't understand what is meant by an in ear system with no batteries in the receiver. Wouldn't that just be a pair of ear bud headphones and a cable? I'm pretty sure I am not understanding what the OP is asking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I don't understand this at all. The in-ear monitor is a receiver, right? It's going to need a battery, right? If it's all hidden, what's the big deal? I think we have a terminology problem here and there seems to be some confusion whether we are talking about microphones or ear(phones) or what. Some clarification is necessary before any of us can even start to offer up suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashire soundie Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I think he means "no belt packs". So what about this? http://www.phonak-communications.com/en/products/ear-prompter/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungo Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I don't understand what you need either. Perhaps this one http://en-de.sennheiser.com/dc-2 Put it into your EW-300 IEM receiver and plug an AC/DC 12V converter to it. Then your receiver is "stationary" and doesn't need any batteries.

Symbioth Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Sorry for my bad English guys. This is not for TV or Film. This is kind of installation. The result is to have a port for headphones(let's pretent it's near the sofa or smth.) but the place is kind of luxury mancion and they don't want any cables around. Basically I need wireless transmission from a TV to a headphones, but without any battery replacement or maintanance. So I'm looking for an in-ear reciever which I can power with DC. Hope that's understandable) Thanks Mungo, that is an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantin Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 There are wireless headphones, of course, but they would be battery operated. Anything wireless would be. So no cables and no batteries? I think you're out of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Ear Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 There are lots of externally powered receivers from most wireless companies, that coupled with a headphone amp would give you a headphone jack at your destination (couch?). Off the top of my head there are less transmitters made that are powered externally, but they are out there. Lectro sm series with a battery eliminator would suit your needs well.

Constantin Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 But "they don't want any cables around", which would include all DC and AC cords, too. If not, this thread is terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamTimmer Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Bluetooth headphones.. They need recharging but depending on the set they can come with a base for storing them which doubles as a recharging station.
