Jacob Gustavsson Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 I thought this was a very interesting new wireless audio system, so why not share it here? Seems inexpensive at $449. Digital, remote controlled, 2.4 GHz. Very tiny transmitters with built-in mic. https://www.picogear.com Here's a review with some pros and cons: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantin Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 I wanted to say „no it’s not interesting“, but that wouldn’t be true. It is somewhat interesting. But it very much looks like no external mics can be used, inspite of them talking about „dual mic“, so that makes it usable for crew communications at best.

Someone mentioned that they're now compatible (or something) with Tentacle Sync. Here's a three-minute video (best google result I quickly found).

By "dual mic" I think they mean that two transmitters/mics can be picked up by a single receiver. And 2tx + 1rx costs US$449. So that is kinda interesting for someone...

Further down they call it „multi microphone“, so I thought that was that. Anyway. I‘m sure it’s interesting for someone, not so sure that someone is here. Except, this could be ok for a boom op, instead of having a larger tx and a mic, could be nice to just have this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
