Sorry I missed the live stream. Very informative. I’d love to see more from you about it. I was trying to decide if I should buy one of these and you’ve sold me on it 😊
This is a tuff question because the RF Explorer Pro is more of a multi tool as well as a SA since it can measure SWR, cable loss like a VNA does and it also has built in coordination. It also has a bigger screen and can integrate with any monitor with its mini HDMI out. So it’s apples & oranges really. For me it came down to what I can put in a bag, since I also own a VNA & use other software for coordination.
Thank you everyone for attending the stream, you can see the link to the Tiny SA Ultra in the video description along with the link to the brand new courses!
Great info. I'm looking to upgrade something like this onto my sound bag. Do you have an opinio on Sound Devices A20-Monarch or Deity Butterfly Antenna in comparison? They both have wider range and trying to decide which to get. Thanks
Hi Michael which low budget Mike would you suggest if I want to star a tech channel Where i explain infront of camera in a very noisy neighbour hood ?? Should i soundproof my bedroom door 🚪 noises of neighbours in front,and window 🪟 road , vehicles, people,birds,dogs, repairs , construction etc please suggest urgent
I came up to the Betso when looking for a decentantenna to connect a Tiny SA, looks like this is a good choice for analysing. Meanwhile i can test itbon wireless equipment. Thx forthe review
@@MichaelWynneCAS thanks Michael! Are these belt pack units like the Lectrosonics DPR’s? Considering getting a pair and might look at the dpa6060 as they sounded lovely
Michael Wynne, it would be interesting if someone tested third-party lav's on the Deity Theos. Sennheiser, DPA and Sanken are superior mic's with the same connectivity but will they work? Can you plug one of those in and see how it sounds?
I recently got the deity theos and i have some unanswered questions and confirmations. I'd be glad if you could help me out: 1. In the Workstation menu, i usually see one of my transmitters in a submenu called unallocated. Is that normal or i need to do something? 2. In the time code menu, the TC sync is grayed out till i change TC settings before i can sync, right? 3. Can the antennas on the receiver be repositioned by loosening the screw? Thank you!
I’ve been interested in hearing different microphones and the differences, especially between a lovelier microphone and a boom microphone and how the differences sound. Do you know of any scenes in big Hollywood films where only lavaliers were used?
It’s a 60 Hz high pass filter also sometimes called a low frequency roll off, which reduces the amount of bass coming into the signal that feeds the pre amp.
@@MichaelWynneCASwhen is the cut 60 needed? I use this mic with mk41 will this mic sound just as good plugged into a zoom f3 at the end of a boom or better into a mixpre 10ii? I’m looking into both these recorders
The whole section around 48 minutes about you just starting out was nice to hear. I’m aspiring and going to set can be very scary, especially laving talent. Good to hear that my attitude can help, I just need to keep going and facing fears. Also the part about you buying gluten free food for the actor was really cool haha
It's interesting that at 7:25 you mention the gain staging but you haven't really tested it. Well I have and I can tell you that it has major issues exactly in this regard. The headroom is way to little, especially with the supplied lav mic, which is too hot for the ADC. I recorded a classical singer and the transmitter was set to zero gain and still the signal was constantly near the clipping point. There is a serious design flaw here and Deity needs to address this.
So if it’s one person go with the mk41 capsule and if it’s a few ppl put on the mk4 capsule? What are the benefits and advantages of the cmc1 41k over the sennheiser mk50?
The MK41 is a more sonically balanced and natural sounding capsule, the MKh50 is also great, but is a bit more aggressive in its frequency response, both have their merits
@@MichaelWynneCAS but is the mk41 capsule for capturing sound from one subject (one person ) and the mk4 capsule for capturing sound from multiple subjects (a group) ?
Hey Michael, not sure you're monitoring these comments, but if you are, which mics did you choose, and are you still using them? I shoot docs, with on-camera mics often times.
Hi Trevor, I ended up going Schoeps MK41’s for my interiors. I think the most flexible pro level option for an on camera mic that I could also use on a boom would be the Sanken CSM1. Hope this helps!
Thanks Michael. Appreciate your fast feedback. I adore the Sanken CS-3e - it's my sole mic right now. And I've been looking for an interior mic. But the problem with the CS-M1 is it's an interference tube shotgun and still has reflection issues (so I've been told). I like the idea of DPA because there's continuity across the lavs, shotgun, and super cardiod offerings. But it sounds like it might be unrealistic to employ a DPA 4018B/C or even a Schoeps CMC141/641 on camera based on your expertise. Is this a handling issue or something else? Curious to hear your thoughts should you have time. @@MichaelWynneCAS
