Deity Connect

I just saw the announcement from Gotham Sound of the availability Deity Connect Wireless System in April.  The price is certainly right.  Any idea where these may fit on the spectrum from consumer to professional equipment?

The specs are intriguing, but until final production systems are out in the real world, we won't know how well they work. At least a couple people associated with the company hang out here so the can provide some details on specs and goals. But again, we don't know yet how well they work in the real world.

+1

At the price quoted on Gotham they are cheaper per channel than some of the potential choices for the capsules (eg DPA, Cos-11) - I think Wisycom battery eliminators cost more per channel! iirc in 1 of the videos it was mentioned 1 TX can send 2 channels so potentially good for sending scratch tracks to camera, albeit not a Slot-In form factor. 

I would like to know how well 4-8 channels play together, but I suspect there intended use is more for starter kits etc than those of us who know we need 6 radio channels but struggle to get productions to pay a fair rate for the high end stuff designed for such usage.

What does deserve mentioning is despite not being slot-in having the RX display on top is something usually found only much more expensive gear. Even the competitively priced Sony UWP system charge c. double for the slot-in RX with a top side display.

There's already a 5-page long thread on these.

For clarification’s sake (and because I just re watched the video this morning) I believe Andrew explains that at the moment the packs are only 1 to 1 transmission, but 1 to many may be coming later in a firmware update.

That, changes everything!

Sure, all depends what they can pull of in firmware. Andrew seems to think it’s possible, but we shall see.
