I listed brands not bands. My mistake for reading the title too fast.

The Sennheiser G3 series is a very good buy at about $600 for TX & RX. They offer 3 frequency blocks “A-B-G” that covers 514-698Mzh. I use them and they do the job for me on commercials, films & other projects.
Lectrosonic & Zaxcom wireless are at the top end of pro wireless and are used in just about every feature film & broadcast production but their prices are about 4-5x higher than the Sennheiser G3 series. If your wallet can take a $2500 hit get the Lectro from a pro audio dealer who can guide you through the various models.

You were getting a line level signal from the board/mixer that you plugged into a mic level input. You have to match output level to input sensitivity.

One additional caveat. With more & more audio going to cameras via a wireless feed there is no practical way to get a camera return to check the audio in the camera. That makes a backup recorder almost mandatory.

A small pocket sized recorder like a Zoom or whatever connected to the aux outs of your mixer can be a life saver if your main feed goes down. Roll it on every take as insurance, if there no issue with the cam feed than you just reformat the card. For less than $250 it’s the best investment you can make.

Long term reliability and tech support. The 744t will be around and working long after the R4 is a forgotten memory. There has to be a reason it’s the preferred 4 track with t/c in the professional community.

Your problem is that you’re trying to feed a balanced signal into an unbalanced input. The XLR has to be wired unbalanced. I make custom cables to solve such problems. Call me: 954-255-7628

If it sounds good on headphones plugged into the HP jack on your computer then it should sound good on your comp speakers….or there could be a disconnect problem in the HP jack that connects the speakers when the HP’s are pulled from the jack. Keep a set of powered monitors connected to your comp and enjoy better audio.

Kind of difficult to diagnose the problem without hearing it. Can you post a sample or a link to the piece.

For about $200 you can buy a used Shure FP 410 4 input auto mic mixer that will do the job you want perfectly. I use them all the time for spontaneous panel discussions. Takes away the problems of open mics and trying to keep up with who’s talking when. Check out ebay for the Shure FP410.
