Aural Fixation Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 I've been researching wireless boom options for awhile now and only just stumbled across the CMR in the Schoeps catalog. Who is out there using it? and how? The shortest cable length is 6 feet long. That's hardly for boom use. I haven't found one that's appropriately sized for putting on the end of a boom pole. Then since I've also been looking into Cinela suspensions and because they are so microphone specific in their designs, I figured this might be right up their alley. Apparently, I was right because they have the OSIX CMR I. It's the exact solution for me since I already have the MK41 capsule and wouldn't need a phantom power source nor the CMC amp to accept +48. But Cinela has discontinued this model. WHY?!?! (I've already queried Cinela and will post their answer) For now, though, anyone out there know of problems that would make this a bad way to go? I'm hoping it was just lack of sales. Anyone have any real world stories to tell (and maybe a lead on me purchasing one)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey LaCroix Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 I own 2 CMR cables and use them as plants. In my experience they work well but are very gain hungry and not as “RF proof” as the most recent CMC6 body. I have to crank my lectro to get a good level. Still sounds good though. And the cable is really microphonic. I could see that being a pain on a boom. I haven’t tried it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikro Addict Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 What Lectrosonics transmitter did you use? How much was the extra drain on the 9v? How would you rate the CMR vs a CMC1 in terms of sound quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
