Hmmmm,

Yeah, that shouldn’t happen unless you’re parking the receivers on top of a wireless router.

May need a trip to the mothership.

Are you in the US? If so, give service a call at (330) 686-2600 Monday-Friday 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM (EST) i

Pleas let us know how it goes. AT is usually a very responsive company.

Hello Ryan and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Are you using rechargeable batteries?

Sorry, I don’t know what you mean by, ” the pairing shuts off with the camera.” Can you please explain more?

Hello James and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Welcome to what we call the proverbial Rock and A Hard Place.

Your challenges will be…..

1. Keeping the people speaking on mic properly.

2. Figuring out where to put the speakers so as not to cause feedback.

People in general are all over the road about how close to a mic they’ll get, even when you nicely tell them they need to be no less than six inches away. Some will lean back in their chairs, putting them a foot or so away and if you crank up the gain of their mic, it will feedback.

Never put the speakers behind the mics.

Be VERY wary of auditoria that have speakers in the ceiling directly over the talent. Again, this can present a feedback problem. If you can get them to turn those speakers off, you’ll be more successful.

Using a four channel automixer like the Shure FP410 can make a big difference, but you’ll still probably have to adjust some levels by hand.

Your best results may come using over the ear mics like you see on TedTalks. There are a variety of makers; Shure and Countryman, being two. The Countryman E6 is my favorite. They are somewhat pricey, but worth it. Every inch closer to the mic pays off in many ways; less feedback, less room ring, cleaner sound.

Here’s a tutorial I recorded here at home some years back in which I use the Countryman B6.

Hello Brian and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Sound Deices makes great gear. I own three pieces myself.

If you’re recording wild nat sound, just leave enough headroom and you should be fine. The SD gear is that good.

Excellent (as usual) information from Richard and Bruce, Benjamin.

If you don’t believe them, take a professional sound person with gear into the spaces and do a simple stand-up shot of one or two people. Then watch and listen in a properly treated studio environment.
