Ross Sound Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi all, I have 4 sets of Sennheiser G4s and a Zoom F8n: 2 lots of the 100 series with ME2 mics 2 lots of the 500 series with MKE2 Mics Ive been using them all together for over a year when all of a sudden mic input 3 on my zoom f8 wont pick up a signal from either of the 100 series receivers but works fine when either 500 series are plugged in. Its not the cables, the settings have not changed as far as i can tell on either the F8 or the sennheiser. Im lost??? This happened after i had re-tuned them all to new frequencies. I've checked that there are no frequency overlaps, it also happens if i turn the remaining 3 sets off. Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryF Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Phantom power on input 3 or leakage of phantom power to input 3? You might check between pins 1 and 2 and 1 and 3 for voltage or stray voltage. Recorders are not my field of expertise, however.

Eric Toline Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Swap one of the 100series RX to another input and put a 500 series into input 3. I think that should solve your problem for while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Reineke Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 The 100 series Rx are unbalanced, I do not know, but the 500 series Rx maybe have a balanced out. If so.. unbalanced v. balanced is a clue. Have you tried the 1/4" input with TRS and TS adapters? Otherwise a compromised input of the F8n. If the same behavior on (mixed & matched), I would suspect an RF issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
