I have the radio pick up problem with my Tetramic.
I find it is better to put the 4 XLR adaptors into my 4x3ft XLR cables and then plug the
XLR cables into my MOTU Traveller rather than use one of Lens extension cables and plug
the adaptors directly into the Traveller.
If I need distance I use a couple of InstaSnakes and shielded CAT5.
Radio pickup is still a problem in some locations though.
I tried wrapping multiple layers of heavy kitchen aluminium foil over the adapters after
zip-tying them to the handle of my Rycote blimp.
Worked OK in the kitchen, but nowhere else. :o)

Hello, once again, surround list -
My apologies for the continued emails from my end - as you can tell, I'm trying
to muddle through some location recording this weekend, and am running in to
things I've never dealt with before. To whit:
I've just come back from recording in Times Square and discovered that I was
picking up the radio. I'm using a TetraMic, and I'm guessing that the 6'
extension cable that goes from the mic to the break-out cable might be the weak
link, as it looks rather thin and is probably unshielded. From the PPAs I have
four 3-foot XLR cables that are then going in to the 788T, so they might be
part of the problem, as well.
I know that in picking Times Square as a recording subject I'm walking in to
one of the heavier RF zones in the city, but I'm hoping that somebody here
might have some tips of things I can try to work around it...? Is there some
way I can shield the cables in a d.i.y. fashion, for instance?
thanks yet again,
- jascha
