Deity Theos | First Impressions 

Let me know if you are using Theos! What do you think so far?

Hello Matt! I recently found your channel after weeks of searching for enquiries without answers from creators or even deity themselves. I hope you see this and can help me out. 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 in the app, 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? 4. Lastly, I know that a change in frequency or some settings of the receiver would simultaneously affect the transmitters, but in my case, there’s sometimes a connection issue that I have to pair them again to sync settings. Is that also normal ? I have the global version in EU territory for more context. Thank you!

Just worth mentioning that the "Record and Trasmit Simultaneously" function is available outside the USA

I'm a definitely need you to bring your confidence to 100, if anything your presentation is better than most people on RU-vid

Thanks for the great review, and most importantly for what I was looking forward to the most, the fact you can't record a backup while transmitting. Yikes. Will hunt for the international unit. Many thanks!

Nice review. Are you still using this setup? I've been looking at all the UHF options including Deity, Sony, Shure, Sennheiser. The Deity seems great, perhaps with a Sanken or DPA lav, and the sync with TC-1 seems incredibly efficient.

Have you noticed a decent amount of hiss/self noise when transmitting or recording? Not sure if it’s the deity lav mic itself…or my preamps. I have a Mixpre but also want to connect into camera as well.

Did I hear you say you were using the sound from the Deity in this video?

Recording and transmitting at the same time is available everywhere in the world except for the US! Zaxcomm owns that patent, so youd need to use zaxcomm transmitters and receivers to take advantage of that. Bummer i know, but i also know many people have bought Deity Theos units in canada and had them shipped by a friend to the US. Do i condone this? No. But will the police knock on your door? Also no.

As an optimist, I want this system to be good. But as a realist, every other thing I’ve ever bought from deity was highly disappointing.

I just picked up a used Deity Theos 2-channel kit (used but almost mint) from B&H for nearly 35% off. I’m betting it was returned cause of the fact that the US models can’t record 32bit and transmit to the receiver simultaneously but that’s speculation.. will be testing to see how it works for me. I just wish Deity would acknowledge or confirm that they have the capability of pushing a firmware update once the patents are no longer in effect. Idk if they have but theoretically I would think it’s possible.

I just got mine. I think the sound is awesome.

I subscribed

Is the RX also battery powered or can I use something like a BDS to keep it powered?

what do you mean you could have selected theos system with mdot connector ? I want to connect shure twinplex tl48 with mdot to deity theos what connector piece is needed to do this ?

Can you test using your phone with a vpn to another country and seeing if when it connects to the theos that if transmits and records?

you had what fall off your camera the tc1 or deity Theos ? sounds soothing with the music lol what kinda sound edit did u do ? adjustments in post ?

what bag do u recommend for these units and mix pre 6 ii?

😄👏 Great Review.

You don't want the micro dot. Trust me. I just rewired all my w-lav mics with permanent connectors

You don’t see the problem w using something named diety theos?
