May 28, 2017 at 7:56 pm in reply to: Are you you using rechargeable AA or 9 V DC cells? Got problems? Please read this.As an FYI: AA batteries are rated at 1.5vdc. Brand new Alkaline or Lithium AA non-rechargeable will test out at about 1.62vdc unloaded and go down from there as you use them. Rechargeable batteries never recharge back up to the rated voltage, they always top out at about 1/2 to 1 volt less than the rated voltage and their discharge rate is somewhat faster than non-rechargeables.

May 26, 2017 at 3:19 am in reply to: Random high pitched noise spike in microphone recordingsListened to all the time stamps and did not hear anything like you described. There was a click type of sound about 1 sec after your time stamp that could be easily removed in editing.

$20,000 is a nice start but nowhere near what you’ll need to spend to get a really good system installed. Forget about a “plug & play” setup with the complexity of what’s required. You’ll need a dedicated person to handle the set up, running the equipment and doing the required maintenance and yes there will be required maintenance. I would suggest that you or your parents look for sound contractors as close to Indonesia as possible and ask them for their assistance.

The Rycote BBG is your best choice. I’ve used them for years on my Sennheiser MKH 50’s. Be sure to get it with the furry wind cover for very high winds and in the right diameter for your mic. 18-20mm opening should be perfect. You’ll never have to take it off the mic indoors or out.

It’s a combination of starting with good clean tracks either a boom & or wireless systems and then post does their magic in matching levels, applying EQ, compression, limiting, noise reduction as required. Bad audio will disengage an audience from the story faster than anything else.

As an FYI: Over the ear or earsets will give you 6-8db more gain before feedback in a PA situation-vs-a standard clip on lav.

For a permanent fix for T power to 48v phantom look up Pete Verrando who does the best T power to 48v phantom conversions. His conversions run about $150. I run the Professional Sound Services shop in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and he’s done about 6 conversions for us and the mics come back sounding better than when they went out. I recommend his work without question.

October 11, 2016 at 12:27 am in reply to: Rode NTG4 mic driving me nuts… Anyone know how to get decent sound out of it?The posting archives on here bring up that you had the same problem with the same gear back in January of this year. In all this time you haven’t found the cause? Something is not right.
