Thanks. I'm looking for a lav that I don't have to drive the gain up too much, as I do with the 802 on my dr-10l and now the Rode WG II. My ME2s and the Tentacle lav are more sensitive but the...

Does anyone know if the 801 is more sensitive than the 802?

^ Oh, I agree. I probably wouldn't use the Rode on a paid gig, but in a pinch I'd feel more comfortable with them knowing the units are backing up. It really does seem as if their antennas and...

Yes, my first recording actually. I also get an occasional mounting error when I plug the TX into my Mac ...

^Yes, I agree about the lack of start/stop recording, but happy to have it at all ;).. I also had one recording error on a TX unit. As you say, probably firmware fixable...

Interesting tests, Roland. 120ft with the TX behind the subject's back is pretty impressive. Did you do any OUT of line of sight tests?

I don't believe there's a headphone in, Peter.

I've uploaded samples of the wireless files and internally recorded backup files from the Rode Wireless Go II. They were recorded with the onboard mic on the TX unit (At one point I went into my...

That is a surprise. The recordings should be identical. I need to test this further...

Mr. Microphone. Wasn't that on the Simpsons?

Now you have us all wondering what you invented, Paul. Please tell us it wasn't the car periscope...

Yes, and given this legal setback and the fact that Rode's sales are about ten times those of Zaxcom's I highly doubt they will go to the mat on this one.

I doubt Rode will bite. Their legal team must have researched this beforehand and they know they're on solid ground...

Yes, doesn't make much sense to record in 24 bit and then "upscale" to 32 bit. I asked Rode tech support directly if it records in 32bit and he said "Yes" ;) So maybe like Run n Gun says it behaves...

Oh. That was in Amityville, right? Is Berger Brothers still around?

Which one was that, Norbro?

@Jim, I'll try it with one of my Sennheiser ME2 mics which have higher sensitivity. @Abe, yeah I wondered about that, too. At $300 I doubt the pres are on level with Lectro or even G3s. I wonder how...

So the gain on the TX maxes out at 0db. On the RX unit you can adjust the gain in steps, High 0, mid -12, and low -24. In the Rode app you can adjust gain in "fine" steps in 3db steps down from 0 to...

@Steve. Yeah, I'll try clipping some audio and see how my NLE handles it. @Jim I had the Rode TX cranked up to 0db, which as far as I know is the highest gain setting but I'll check and test. ...

Thanks, Dan.

OK, so I received my Rode kit today. In limited testing (a few hours) I have to say I am very impressed with the features and overall sound quality. And I can confirm that TX units DO record a backup...

Just installed and did a quick test -- looking good. Does anyone have any exposure tips for S-Cinetone?

Begin rant/ Is it just me or has BH's customer service gone down the tubes? I ordered the new Rode mic yesterday less than an hour after it announced. Still hasn't shipped. I called customer service....

Yes, according to CineD it will be released the 25th. I hope they're correct...
