LarryF Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 4 hours ago, Constantin said: Sure, I can understand that. I love the SSM's (we are legally limited to 50mW here anyway), but sometimes I use the SMDB (SMQV), because I have an actor who I don't want to bother too often (or who I don't want to be bothered by) and these transmitters run all day. Or a complicated costume where the tx is buried... Very valid reason(s). Don't forget Dweedle tones for buried costumes. Can triple battery run time on SM's and SSM's Regards, LarryF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had an antenna break. If they were able to get the power beyond 50mW I might get one again, but now with some new WBTX coming down the line, all looks promising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of features or differences do you look forward to? Thank you. I think it's mainly form factor - along with better water protection in the SM series of the LT's. Otherwise I'm not too sure. Can anyone else explain better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryF Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 I do want to point out that Lectro has not announced this product (what product?). Some companies have been criticized for announcing product far in advance of production. This manual was a required public filing on the FCC site that has now been distributed by some one very widely, not by the Lectro crew. So for any potential complainers, just remember "No whine before its time". Best in Jest, Larry F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be too late but I'll delete the post if that's the right thing to do. I should point out that this is a public link that anyone has access to.I'm very excited about the prospect of using this product and appreciate that Lectro has not publicly announced it yet as it is still early stages.Best,BenSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryF Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hi Ben, No problem at all. Hard to fault someone for being on the ball. I just wanted to point out that Lectro wasn't releasing pie in the sky (this time at least). If it's public, it's fair game. If positions were reversed, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. Best Regards, Larry Fisher p.s. We did have a few emotional phone calls from dealers that wanted to know why they weren't informed about a release. Companies can't win on product releases. Wait until the whizbangs are on the shelf and customers and dealers are unhappy that they just bought the old product. Announce early, and it's sabotaging the dealer sales of the old product and paralyzing the competition's sales unfairly. There has to be a perfect point there but we've never found it.

Derek H Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Per the manual from FCC it can record or transmit but not both at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movies by Matt Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 After a brief skimming of the manual I'm curious if there's timecode integration in the recorder portion. The manual doesn't say anything about it. I was hoping there was a licensing agreement between Lectro and Zaxcom, but obviously not. Unfortunate. Still looks like a sweet device. I wonder if the overseas versions can record and transmit? Could be firmware activated like the Audio Ltd A10 or 1010 transmitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.paterson Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 I hope euro version has record and transmit i suspect it will have timecode like pdr maybe a menu function jamming via ta5 then back to normal mic input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickreich Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 maybe it could be made to switch between record and transmit 96,000 times a second to keep the Lawyers happy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAB414 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 96,000 files per second recorded sounds reasonableSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
