The Sennheiser lav that comes with the wireless is worth exactly what you paid for it, nothing. No one I know uses that lav for anything. There’s nothing wrong with the wireless set, get a good mic like a Countryman EMW or a for a bit less, an Oscar Sound Tech lav. Any lav mic can be terminated with the 3.5 mm trs locking connector.

One minute @50fps is one minute @any other frame rate as long as the playback speed is the same as the record speed. More details about the technical aspects will help in finding a logical solution.

As a P.S. if you only monitor the camera returns then turn up the 442 HP level. OTOH if you forget to turn it down when you go back to the mixer for monitoring expect to see smoke come out of your ears.

There are some cameras that have a very low HP output. Pushing the input level to get more HP level is not a wise thing to do. The 442 is rated to work with 5-18vdc from an external power source.

There’s a giant hole in the middle between the speakers. That says something is out of polarity. Normally the dialog should be rock solid in between the speakers with no L or R standing out.

Not dual channel but won’t empty your wallet either is the Sennheiser G3 wireless. About $600 a set, frequency agile and a proven performer.

Wailing injured drama queens require an extra 10db of audio headroom.

Steve,
Set both tx to the same level and both rx to the same level so you have a level playing field. Use only 1 lav mic for the test moving it to each transmitter individually while creating a constant sound source. A faster way to test the Zoom inputs is to use a handheld mic plugged directly into each input one at a time with the input level the same on both channels and see what the Zoom meters read. Be sure the 48v phantom is turned OFF on the mic inputs as you don’t need it for the handheld or the wireless.

The XLR inputs are mic level, the 1/4″ input in the middle of the XLR connector are line level.

First setting the tx sensitivity to -24 from -12 is not increasing the output, it’s cutting it in half. The lower the sensitivity number the higher the output from the tx. See if moving just the connecting cables from input 1 to input 2 of the Zoom makes a difference. Also check the internal menu to see if there’s a setting for mic input attenuation that might be turned on.
