Hi, John and Umashankar - Interesting... My radio's definitely on the recording, not the monitoring. I did notice after posting my last email that the extension cable that comes with the TetraMic is a Mogami shielded cable - it's still quite thin though, the Times Square is a RF-heavy environment.
Has anyone had any experience with these? http://store.shure.com/store/shure/en_US/pd/productID.104211000 I'll also try and skip the extension cable and go straight from the break-out cable to the PPAs, though that'll be a little awkward to set up... Thanks again! cheers, j On Apr 16, 2011, at 8:25 PM, umashankar mantravadi wrote: > > if the radio pick up is happening at the mic head (possible) what you will > need is a metal grill which is earthed. the signal is unbalanced till the ppa > outputs. so it is best to use any extension cables after the point. > > umashankar > > i have published my poems. read (or buy) at http://stores.lulu.com/umashankar > > > >> Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2011 14:56:34 -0700 >> From: [email protected] >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: Re: [Sursound] rf interference >> >> 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) >> >> Bill >> >> On 16/04/2011 12:36 p.m., Jascha Narveson wrote: >>> >>> 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.
