+1 to what Michael said. I think he nailed your problem.
You could buy some Caig DeOxit to help with your corrosion problems…FullCompass sells that, also.

Check out Rane’s Digi-Dictionary. They have information on practically everything audio-obscura. 🙂
Enjoy reading!
Click here, then scroll down until you see “Phoenix-blocks”

There might be companding issues with the wireless kit. Take your question to the Sennheiser website if you find your problem continues even when the AGC is disabled.

Ty, I have never had any first-hand experience with Izotope RX…how do you feel it compares to other restoration tools? It seems like it is able to be very precise and accurate (though I’m sure there are more settings than “point and click”).
The demo video was quite impressive.

Is there something in particular that you would like to know?

Interesting read, Ty. I’m glad that SOMEONE is investigating the correct pinouts – that will definitely come in handy if I ever encounter one of these cameras.
I don’t think a video camera that skimps on video quality for the sake of audio quality would do well at all, after all, that’s not the point of a VIDEO camera. That’s how people like us get jobs – our expertise is in capturing the desired audio using the correct equipment so that when the excellent video from the nice camera and the excellent audio from the recording(s) are combined, they create a stunning sensory experience.

I should hope that such a professional device would be “Pin 2 Hot”, but as we know the “standards” are always set in stone. I wouldn’t mind if it were switchable – my Klark Teknik parametric EQ is…and that’s quite handy sometimes.
I’m glad the pinout is the same as many (most?) XLR-type connections…at least in the United States. TAF connectors seem like a pain to me, but I guess if you can squeeze more into the same space, why not.
Anyways…thanks for the info Brian – I’m sure it will come in handy to people as the mini-connectors become more widespread in their usage.

Well, I think that there may be a difference between the two types.
The foam covers, to me, seem more like windscreens – to stop rumble from the wind. They are similar to shockmounts for mics that reduce the vibrations from handling the boom.
The metal ones function more as “pop guards”, for stopping plosives (quick, fast transients) from getting through to the element.

Both mic types have their uses. The ME-2 will naturally be less-prone to wind noise and doesn’t suffer from the proximity effect. The ME-4 will be more “focused” and will pick up less environmental noise but suffers from the proximity effect (exaggerated low-end response from close proximity to the audio source).
Example: I would use an omnidirectional microphone for a wedding. The mic is clipped onto the groom’s jacket (somewhere inconspicuous) so that the “I do” from both can be captured for posterity. I would use a cardioid microphone if I was miking a person who is in a noisy environment (city streets, mayhaps) and a shotgun mic won’t fit the bill.
Hope that helps ya…
