I posted this in the audio section, but copying here as it's possibly useful to FS7 users who have bought the new Sony radio mic kit with hotshoe mount:

An update for anyone using a TRAM TR50 or Countryman EMW lavalier mic with one of the new Sony UTX-B03 units.

I used the pinouts/wiring diagram from Countryman:

Tip = B
Ring = R
Sleeve = S
15k resistor Tip to Sleeve

Works like a charm.

For other transmitters, here's the full list from Countryman:

I have the UTX/URX/UWP set, but I'm about to contact Sony because there seems to be a problem with my kit when I'm using the multi interface shoe and docking to the camera - all sorts of weird electronic sounds on the audio line.

Have you tried turning off the GPS on the camera? That gives off pulsing RF interference.

Yes, that was the solution. Didn't know it when I posted this thread. Solved in the other thread: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?335539-Sony-May-Lose-My-Business-Over-15

Mind you, if this is a consistent issue and not a defect in my camera, then you would think the firmware should force disable the GPS when a user selects the shoe audio input (or it detects a wireless transmitter on the shoe input).
