Hi Jonathan,
According to Countryman, the AT and Rode Hirose connectors are wire differently.
I have both System 10 and Rodelink here. I have put in a request for e6 and b6 mics to find out if they will work with the System 10 and/or Rodelink without problems.
The System 10 will not work with the AT micropoint at this time due to rf interference. The System 10 will work with their east mic and 830 side address wav.
The Rodelink as it came to me with the Rode mic was picking ups 2.4 GHz interference.
Regards,
Ty Ford

Great story and also great researching, Jack!
It’s always amazing to me how these little buggers can work themselves loose over time.
Good On YOU!

not all HVAC splits are loud
the block wall won’t necessarily stop high heel foot traffic.
Get blankets with grommets so you can hang them properly. The denser and thicker the blanket, the better the protection.
Check the size and the weight to determine that.
Here’s a good place to start: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/140104-REG/Matthews_329040_1_Sound_Blanket_with_Grommets.html/BI/8631/KBID/9745

Hello Tom and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.
You did a great job of explaining your situation.
A lot depends on, how sticky you are for details and little sounds.
If nothing’s outside the window making noise, that great. If not then you need to think about covering that window with a built out frame with more glass to provide a dead space that will hopefully be enough to knock down the exterior noise.
Or create your booth in a space that doesn’t look out the window,.
All foam makes for a very foamy sound…sproingy, especially with loud voices our loud moments, because the voices will be exciting the foam. A balance of foam and diffusion works best. The glass shouldn’t be too big because it’s just a large reflective surface.
The skinny side with the wall between the room and the hallway; is it carpeted? Hard soles shoe sound will likely transfer right under the wall and into your space.
5’6′ x 4′ is not a bad size. You will also probably want to look into re directing the HVAC in that space. If you don’t and anyone is in there for any length of time, it’ll get hot and stuffy. Small ducts increase the noise of air moving though ducts. That’s bad. I don’t know what your HVAC noise situation is right now but that’s something else to think about.
There’s another approach; use a frame upon which to hang sound blankets that surround the talent, including something to block the ceiling bounce and don’t forget to put a light in there so they can see to read.
How noisy is your computer? Present day machines can be pretty quiet. Unless yours is, a good mic will pick up that noise.

Hello Jared,
1. You do not need a stereo mic to record stereo. You can use any two mics if you position them correctly. They don’t HAVE to be the same, but most people would want two of the same model. Some others want a pair of matched mics.
2. what I think you’re asking for is a poly wave file. That’s one file that includes a number of tracks. There may be a setting in your recorder that does this.

Hello Craig,
Yes, they’re looking at the 600MHz band this year, so you’re safe with those.

Directional lavs are a tool, a specialized tool that require more attention, but can be helpful.
Here’s a piece I did on the Countryman B2D.

Hi D.J.,
I always liked the 185 lav, but don’t know anything about they particular wireless. Shure makes some good gear though.

Hello D. J.
Richard makes some good points. Especially the damage due to high activity of your talent.
The Rode is a bigger emitter than the AT, but neither are small. Mounting them and keeping them mounted is going to be difficult.
Although the audio may suffer, your best bet may be boom mics and a properly treated acoustic environment.
