Hello, 

Here is my audio configuration: 6xA20 mini, 2xA10Tx, 2xA10Rx and 2xA20Rx with Cantar X3, octopack and filtered antennas.

I use this kit since many years and I'm very happy with the sound, but ... my A20 are very often out of order, I would say at least one transmitter fails during every movie shoot, sometimes RF sometimes power supply, board or other things ....

I must say I am someone who is very careful with my equipment; I take great care of it.

Most of the time my A20 run in "low" or "normal" mode and are strapped to the ankle. SONY NP-BX1 batteries.

Many years ago I used Wisycom and I never had a problem with their Tx

What are your experience with A20 mini ?

thanks by advance ...

Hi ,

Since march I am working on a project with 2xA20TX - boom's 8xA20mini - lavalier's and 2xA10TX / plants or lav's . Nexus via Dante to X3 . 2x Wisy LFA . Few latest firmware updates really improved system range and stability performance .

Usual power settings on tx's :

Booms A20TX@ 2mW 95% time , @10mW 5% time   Battery usage : 6-9 Eneloop pro12h day per TX

Lav's A20mini @ 2mW 20% time , @10mW 60% time , @20mW 15% time , @40mW 5% time  Battery usage : 1-2 Sony NP-BX1 12h day per TX

Project is Studio 30% Locations 70%

There are few bugs here and there , but sd support is perfect so they are working on it ...

 

Kind Regards ,

Dejan.

That’s unfortunate. How has sound devices service been for you getting them repaired?

The last time, they replaced the electronic board, but unfortunately, my equipment was no longer under warranty. 1500 euros ...

Wow, 1500 euro to fix one transmitter? Did that include shipping round trip to US?

Derek, this is without shipping, in Europe the repairs are carried out in England.
