Hello Mark,

I was on a video shoot right when Excelon, BGE and Constellation merged. We spent at least one day up in the Pratt Street building shooting. I think the company was from NYC. The picked me up to do sound.

Anyway, keeping your audio cable from being parallel with power and other data cables is a “best practices” approach.

Richard,

As always, you’re there with the right stuff.

I really appreciate that you spend time here helping people.

You are both wise and kind.

Season’s Best,

Hello Mark and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

What kind of EMI are you experiencing?

One simple way would be to ground the XLR shells at both ends of a cable. This is not necessarily recommended for live sound work because XLR cables (and connectors) are sometimes dragged over other conducting surfaces.

I have tried the Neutrik connectors Richard mentions and have found them partly effective. That is to say, they help in some but not all situations. We also found that you really only needed to use the female end plugged into the mics. Using the special male XLR connector didn’t really do that much more.

Regards,

Ty Ford

Because that’s what’s happened to me and that’s how I fixed it.

I suppose it depends on whether you’re using the Audio Suite version or the other plugin.

I think it’s about the latency; the time it takes for izotope to do the processing. That time needs to be added to the clip so Pro Tools doesn’t cut off the processed audio.

Hello Steve and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Yes, the 5D Mk II has know audio problems. The 5D Mk III however can be adjusted to record audio properly when fed from a mixer.

Open the 5D audio input control one click only from the left. Then feed the audio in through the camera input with a mixer until you see good levels on the camera meters.

Hi,

I spoke with Lachlan Brennan at Sennheiser and he was kind enough to do some work and find an answer. Please note below.

Now that I have had the chance to confer with some colleagues I wanted to touch base with you regarding this AVX issue. Based on what I have heard from various colleagues it appears that this is a sporadic issue and it depends on the specific Zoom H6 recorder being used as to whether the issue presents itself. With some recorders there is no issue and with some recorders there is the issue.

Often with digital systems there is more proximity sensitivity than there is with a traditional analog system and depending on how the various components are grounded/shielded there could be “noise” issues. With the digital systems like AVX and EW D1 we needed to redesign the lavaliere microphones that connect to them to have more shielding so that proximity noise was not an issue.

I suspect that with older Zoom H6’s there may be a slight grounding or shielding issue that can cause noise when the receiver is in close proximity. This would not be an issue with an analog system but could present issues like those described with a digital system.

A work around would be to use a short extension cable to get a little distance between the receiver and the Zoom H6.

Also you might want to note that if any members of the site do need Technical Support they can reach the Tech Support Team on 1-(877)-736-6434 option 3 in the phone menu and we are more than happy to assist them.

Have a great day.

Lachlan

Hello Evelin and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum,

Depending on how discerning your ears are, and how good your technique is, you may or may not be happy with recording in a studio. It certainly can be tried, but your local exterior noises will be what they will be.

Can you return to the location you shot the original footage and record ADR there using the same mic and micing techniques?
