480sound Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 Thank you MIx for your Sound for Film and TV online event. Several of the production mixers mentioned extensive use earwigs. It sounded like they had a bushel of the things. Enough to cover a whole orchestra or dance troupe. (It sounded like this will be the next wave sound reinforcement for directors to be able to be inside the actors heads). I used to carry 6 of the Phonaks but now I'm down to just 3. Does any one know what the preferred replacements are? I heard there is a range extender for the Roger system that makes them useable, (but still a sizable investment). Is anyone using the Blue Tooth ones? Thanx David B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAB414 Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 The Roger's are very disappointing in their range but they work if you are super careful with the repeaters and/or remoting the base station. I would love a new analog solution. I know Phonak had to stop production of the classic.because they don't make the chips anymore but can they make a new model.off of new chips?

The Documentary Sound Guy Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 I wasn't aware that that is why they stopped production. My next question is: Who was making the chips then? With the amount of chips out there, surely this is something that could be reproduced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
