Thank you Gents,

I’ll try the BroadcastShop first, and if I run out of luck, I’ll call Lectro for advice. Lastly, I’ll try sodering the connections. I’d rather have the connections already in place (warranty sake).

Thank you Eric,
I don’t want to mention the vendor (reputable one too), but initially they said it could be done (Sony mics with Lectrosonic connectors). In the past, it was no problem. Maybe it’s the new transmitters, but they (the vendor) felt bad that the salesperson was wrong – they couldn’t help.
I’ll take your advice and call Lectrosonic. They may be able to help.
Cheers,
Martin

Thanks guys.

I do need to hide the mics… using the vampire clips works well. I also implement the old, double, inside out gaffer’s tape, triangles to keep the mics in place within our subject’s clothes (that seems to work well).
My biggest issue is the fact that Sony’s mics couldn’t be modified to plug into the Lectrosonic SMQV transmitters. So I’m really looking for a comparable mic to the Sony.
I think you guys have given me a great start.

Respectfully,
Martin

Thank you Gentlemen.

Any thoughts on Tram mics. They seem to be built like the Countryman.
Unfortunately, the Sanken are a little pricey for our budget.

Thank you again,
Martin
