    Microphones Pouring Water on actor wearing lav.

    What mic element are you using? Many like the B3 and MKE1 are smaller than water's surface tension, and using the power of physics, are safe from water.The best way to water proof a transmitter is to tightly wrap it with saran wrap. Cocoon the transmitter like you are building a cup. 100%...

    Distributing submixes

    Well, Mediornet can have any topology, while Rocknet is limited to a ring. Six in one, half dozen in the other.:) To begin with, you are limited to Riedel's proprietary technology, and would have to hire someone extremely well versed in that technology. They do not have a DiGiCo...

    Distributing submixes

    Muse hit some good points.Distance between consoles? Any budget constraints? And equipment requirements? Analog vs. digital? Gain sharing?EDIT:I would have to say that either Rocknet or Mediornet by Riedel get you anything you would need.

    Painting a MKE1

    We talked about it a little bit in this thread. A few months later, and I still haven't found a paint that can hold onto the teflon coating of the MKE1. Unfortunately, I have only seen its popularity increase among Sound Designers and broadcasters. My paint of choice is Copic Markers and I...

    Channel Labeling

    Above, especially with VCAs. My wrists are usually are in the way of below-the-fader labels. And with a script-dolly those few degrees of head tilt, can mean a made pick-up or a drop.

    Shure's IEM discontinuation/new products

    They better put in network on the 1000's or they will loose a lot of market share to the G3's.

    Sound Designer Stuff

    That was probably the best explanation I've heard in a while. Wolf hit the nail on the head.But something for you to mull over as well: "Good artists borrow, great artists steal." -T.S. Eliot

    Microphones Need Recommendation For Wireless Mic...

    The highest of the high: DPA's. Pick your favorite flavor. But any of the Countryman will qualify as well. Sennheiser should be forgotten either. MM Audio, however there is this thread reviewing them. The general consensus was not positive. The hurdle that you will face is that the...

    FNG in need of AV advice!

    The name of the game is feedback control. You will most likely experience some horrible mic technique and soft spoken presenters.

    Countryman E6 omni

    In a word, no. Make sure that the element isn't pressed into the actors cheek. Soft flesh will soak up HF like a sponge. The element doesn't have to be very far away from the cheek to be safe. Countryman also sells frequency boost caps for the e6, so look into their +4dB(or +8dB) HF boost to...

    Rebanding of Wireless Mics/headsets

    The rebates are significantly smaller than they used to be, but they do still exist.

    Sennheiser MKE 1 vs. DPA4060

    Black, Beige, White and Brown. And, ugh, the teflon.:lol:

    the set-up!

    KT wants you to think it is an auto-mixer. But it's only a Square One Dynamics. Love the gooseneck!

    Sennheiser MKE 1 vs. DPA4060

    Simply, no. I do not know the humidity level of the compressed air(cans) I've used in the past, and couldn't find it online but will assume it is 30%-60%. The point of the compressed air is to clean out the sweat that has gotten into the capsule(and possibly touching the diaphragm). In this...

    AT Wireless mics

    When you speak into the mic does the AF meter bounce? If it does, then your problem isn't the mic, but from the audio output of the receiver to system. If it doesn't bounce, like William said, make sure that the transmitter's frequency is the same as the receiver frequency. If the frequencies...
