Seriously look at the Zoom F8N or the Zoom F4. Both are proven professional quality units.

There is a world of difference between the Zoom “H” series and the “F” series with the “F” being head & shoulders above the H and yes you are correct in your appraisal of the Mix Pre 3 sonics.

Take a look at the Zoom F4 a very well regarded unit with built in time code & more tracks. For wireless the G3 is fine, to get it sound better step up to a top lav mic like the Sanken COS11d. Will make a world of difference in the sound quality from the G3.

Most likely it’s either 16 or 24bit @ 48frames per second.

Get rid of the older unit. Most likely it has a problem in passing the signal thru. Go from the mixer direct into the H6 and see if that doesn’t eliminate the issue.

As the department head it’s the mixers responsibility to talk to those people and explain to them that you need to be where you need to be to give production the best sound possible.

The Azden is an omni directional lav mic so it hears equally in all directions. It could be that your previous lav was a cardioid or directional pattern mic that didn’t hear equally in all directions. There could be other factors involved but omni-vs-cardioid seems to be the most obvious reason.

Those who advise you to keep using a painter pole don’t know what they are talking about. Using a $20 painters pole might do the job for you but it puts you in the beginners class and obviously causes you problems. There is a reason there are pro poles from $150 and up. They are the tools designed for the job, use them. Don’t think of it as an expense, think of it as an investment.

I think you’re stuck with the call in quality as almost all callers are using cell phones of many different levels of quality. You’re going to need some post production gear to clean up each call and make it acceptable. Time & money for equipment and a knowledgeable post person may prevent you from doing that.

If you can get your hands on a Cedar DNS2 unit and run the track thru it you can most likely clean up a good portion of the ambience and noise. Keeping lip sync might be an issue.
