You need to be sure your double walls are not touching in any way. There are acoustical products that can help to make this happen, but having a good acoustic design engineer can help a lot. If you build the walls properly and they are not in contact with each other, air works. But if you’re hearing planes now, you might me in an airport flight zone and there’s not a lot you can do with a location like that even if you build a room within a room.

Ciao Adriano, and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum
I think you’re spot on. You can use an ambisonic mic, but you don’t have to.Regards,

Frank, Bret is pretty right about the camera audio, but there are a few exceptions. I got a JVC ENG camera some years back. I bought it after hearing that the BBC had ordered 500 of them. I thought that was pretty good vetting. To my surprise, the audio in that camera, JVC HM650 is actually quite good. I’ve gone right to camera with two Schoeps CMC641 and been very happy.

Hi Craig,
When you say outside walls, do you mean the inside of outside walls or actually outside of the cabin?
Corning 703 panels are always good choices. I also use 4″ thick foam panels – 2′ x 4′ in various locations on the walls and 1″ Sonex panels on my ceiling to absorb ceiling bounce. What’s on your floor?Regards,

My favorite is a Schoeps CMC641. Inside or out. The Audio-Technica 4053b is next down.
Depending on what you’re feeding, the XLR wired to a TRS with tip and ring wired to positive and ground to sleeve is a good bet.Regards,

Hmmm, well, I’m gonna guess that your on-camera mic would probably not make a good boom mic. What make and model is it?
I’m pretty sure that the G2 and G3 mic inputs are not balanced. In one iteration, tip, sleeve was for mics and ring, sleeve was for line. I may have that backwards. I forget. Anyway…unbalanced. The thought being that the cables were short enough to not pick up much radiated noise.
Playing with cable has become a hobby for me. I have tons of cables with different connectors for just the reasons you’re seeing.

I had the exact same polarity thing happen with a stereo/mono to cell phone thing. I never made that mistake again. Hahahaha.
Dunno. Not all mics are balanced the same way. Some are “electronically balanced” some are transformer balanced. Might be something in the polarity circuit. l I had a LD condenser with a LOT of noise a number of years back. Dynamics, OK. Other condensers OK.

Hi Mordy and thanks for contacting the Cow Audio Forum.
Nice description of your situation. Plenty of details.
Sounds like that adapter cable may not be the one you want for that job. I know you said it used to work in the past, but XLR to 3.5 mm can be wired differently.
If the cable is for a balanced audio connection, the tip, ring and sleeve are wired one way. If the cable is for unbalanced audio, the cable can be wired another way. If the cable is for a stereo unbalanced connection, the cable can be wired a third way.I forget if there are any wiring difference between the G2 and G3, but that may have been the problem.

Hello Madisyn and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.
To have all cards read full and not be able to erase them is weird.
Are all of your cards on the TASCAM approved card list? Sometimes others will work……..until they don’t!
How about trying another app? Sound Devices Wave Agent.
