Lectrosonics SRb vs. UCR411a

Hi!


I'm gonna upgrade my audio kit and get a good quality wireless system. I think I will go for Lectrosonics after reading much positive about them. I want the oportunity to have 6 reliable radio mics in my audio bag.


I think I will go for the SMDB/01 transmitters (I'm from Europe)
But I'm not sure which receivers i should go for. The SRb or UCR411a.


I like the idea of having just 3 dual SRb receivers, and not 6 UCR411a for the reason of reducing weights and space in my bag - and it's cheaper. But I have read that the UCR411a is more reliable and has better signal strength, range, less drop outs etc than the SRa.


If that's so I'm suddenly leaning against 6 UCR411a again. But how is the new SRb compared with UCR411a in reability, range, drop-outs etc?


I see many have the SRb in their bag when googling around. So I guess the SRb is a quite good investment?


Any thoughts?


Thanks
 
Might I suggest that you get two UCR411a units and two SRb units. You get the better tracking of the 411s for your two main units and save a little space, weight and money. You can always sell the two 411s if you decide you prefer the SR units. Just a thought...
 
Thanks, that's a good suggestion. So If I needed only 2 quality radio mics in a smaller audio kit, you would definitely go for 2 411s and not 1 SRb, right?

- There would only be a slight disadvantage in using the SR. If it's more convenient/economical to use a single SR, I would get that. Both are very good pro level receivers.
That said, neither is immune to interference and due diligence in set up would result in better reliability then the particular receiver model. If your looking for a 'plug-it-in-and-go' fool proof interference-free system, use a cable
 
Thank you for the input! Made my decision a little bit easier. I guess I end up with the convenent/economical SR's if it just a slight disadvantage versus the 411s :)
