Thank you Eric… we have happen to have two sets of G3’s that are not being used.

What headset (with mic on gooseneck) would you recommend? We are partial to the Sennheiser headsets but would like any recommendations.

For the headsets does it make sense to run one channel for communication and one channel for audio monitoring? Do headsets like these terminate in two (one for listening, one for talking) 3.5mm connectors? If not, what do we need to connect our headsets to our G3’s (via the camera or mixer)?

Many thanks again.

Many thanks for the reply Brian. We may wind up trying your suggestion.

Is there another solution that offers an integrated mic and headset?

Thank you Michael. Thank you Ty.

The TR50 test I described above was without any internal battery so that suggests the problem was not a function of negative bias. I did not think to switch inputs on the mixer, but I did cycle the connectors a few times. The mixer was a new SD 664 that seems to work flawlessly otherwise.

I contacted Tram by phone and spoke to a friendly tech. They asked me for the serial numbers (about 200 units difference), and they stated that the 10dB disparity is probably a quality control issue. They offered to exchange the mics at no charge. I’ll mail them out Monday and report back if the problem is not resolved when I receive the replacement(s).

These TR50s were purchased together from B&H, for what it’s worth.

Additionally, the tonal response of the two mics seemed markedly different (to my untrained ear at least).

Thanks again fellas.
