thirding the 302.

I’m a 442 owner and have reviewed the 302 and 442 (beforeI bought one). The MixPre is also good but only has line outputs. If you never need a mic level input, it’s OK, but I hink you’ll appreciate what the 302 offers.

PS I own a 744T as well.

There are several issues.

Different countries alot diffferent frequencies for wireless. Some are more strict than others. If you fire up a US wirelsss in the wrong place, you can end up in jail.

You can buy cheap, but when it doesn’t work well, you’re sunk.

If what you’re shooting matters. You really have no choice. The Sennheiser G2 series is as low as most pros will go. The new Audio-Technica 1800 series also works.

I don’t have a list of UK frequencies.

Some of those lectern mics are affordable, but poppy.

Try covering the mic element with a larger foam pop filter and secure it behind the capsule with a cable tie. Get one big enough so there’s so air space between the mic and the inside of the new pop filter.

If that receiver is an Audio Technica 1800, yes.
It’s actually two receivers in one case.

Phew,

That can be a recipe for disaster. Are they sitting around a table facing each other, eg like sitting at the dining room table?

The problems are that you need enough mics close enough to everyone so that everyone can be heard. The acutual size and shape of the table is important for where to place mics.

If they are ON the table and you get pencil tappers or paper fiddlers, you have a mess.

You need an automixer to turn off any mics not being spoken into or you’ll get really nasty audio.

AT and Shure both make 8 channel automixers. I’d start there.

That’s what I get for taking a nap after dissembling a really BIG shrub today. You are correct. Sound travels at 1 foot per millisecond.

Hi Kutmasta,

Can you plug something else into the Extreme XLRs to see if your system see any analog audio at those inputs?

Then try to find something with XLR inputs to test the outputs of your mixer.

Maybe it’s just a button on the mixer. BTW, the mixer does have turntable inputs, right?

Welcome to the Creative Cow audio forum Rodney.

The newer digital wireless mic systems offer some interesting possibilities. Both the Lectrosonics and Zaxcom use digital technology and as a result, the audio takes a bit longer to get in and out of the system. That latency, when combined with a non-digital wireless system, can produce about a 3 mSec difference that can be perceived as a phase wash in some situations.

Sound travels at about a foot per second. That makes the arrival time of audio to a digital lav and a boom (which might be 2-3 feet away about the same. No problem. With two lavs, one digital, one analog in intimate two shots, you may hear the delay. Farther away than about three feet, the inverse square rule takes over and minimizes or eliminates the latency problem.
