Would the transmitter record feature be patched with a firmware update?
@declantan526722 күн бұрын
Hey Eric, Thanks for the video. Quick question when connecting the receiver to the computer, are you able to plug in headphones into the headphone jack to monitor audio input *as well as* hear audio coming out from your computer? Thanks
@sixtheninthАй бұрын
Wow that's weird. I have thought logically that the receiver itself is the where the disk is located and that all recordings are saved there. Especially when you record mono and the signals are thus blended. So does that mean when I record mono using both tx the same track is recorded on both transmitters?

very helpful. Firts, I would not have connected the Transmitters themselves to the computer. So, without this video… 2nd, for some rasons I did not push in the (white) cable all the way into the tansmitters slot. So it was not really connected.. After i kind of forced it in, it all worked.

Thank you. I'm only an occasional Fulaim X5 user. Suits my needs. Sure the Shure is better! One thing I've noticed is that the X5 is very location dependent. Best 150 mm in front of my mouth. On my shirt, NOT as good. Strangely, under my shirt with deadcat sounds better!!! I've not been impressed with a lav (PurplePanda) plugged into the TX. The PP sounds definitely better plugged into my iPhone 12pm. I've been impressed with the audio reviews from the LarkM2 but not seen any comparisons.

The Neewer CM28 I got does not have de audio recording problem. To test, I connected the transmitter to a stereo receiver and recorded 34 minutes of music on the CM28 storage. No gaps. I had to use my own cable to download the recording to a computer because the USB cable that they sent is a cheap charging only cable, it does not work with computers as data cable (but it charges the device). Note: my CM28 was missing the white data cable (it was supposed to come with a black charging cable and a white data cable. Amazon support gave me a satisfactory solution (after I posted this comment.)

I've done some test with the internal transmitter recordings (X5). Whilst I didn't experience any glitches, I notice that during my 1 hour record the audio was getting slightly out of sync (only a few frames) with the audio recorded on my camera (using the output of the receiver). This is quite common with consumer recorders - as the internal clock differs between products. I found that to fix the issue, I had to split the 60 minute recording into four 15 minute segments and sync them up individually - which only took a couple of minutes. Less experienced editors might not even notice this problem - but I thought it was worth mentioning. :)
@elementary89635 ай бұрын
So, I guess if you use the receiver to record your main audio - and only use the transmitter audio to cover any 'bluetooth dropouts' it'll be a very workable system. Just don't rely on the transmitter audio for everything! Nice review - thanks.

Thankyou Eric Just bought a Neewer CM28 for Use with DaVinci Resolve. I'm interested in your editing workflow. Can't figure out how to get Sm or stereo mode working on the CM28. I set the receiver to either Sm or stereo mode however when I download audio recording from the transmitter/mic & bring it into Resolve, resolve reports the audio as a mono recording.
@EricJoyce246 ай бұрын
Stereo mode is when you have both transmitters active. One transmitter will be the right channel while the other transmitter will be the left channel. This allows you to mike up two people and have independent recordings for each person. I can make a video on this if you would find it helpful. Let me know. Thank you! Eric

One of my Fulaim X5 transmitters had the same problem with the internal recording glitching every couple of minutes. The other transmitter worked flawlessly, never losing sync with the video after recording several 30-minute clips. I contacted Fulaim who was aware of the issue and they immediately sent me a new set which works flawlessly without any recording glitches. And Fulaim did this even though I've had the system for over 6 months. I literally received the new set within 4 days of reaching out to the company. So good to know they stand behind their product, and that the product actually works as promised. You should be able to resolve your problem with a simple email to Fulaim.

Hi Eric, thanks for the update! But just to be clear as I understand Fulaim solved the internal recording issue with the new transmitter they sent you , right? I am planning to order it but if that issue still going on I would consider to choose another brand.

I had the same problem which I only found out after owning it for 6 months. I reached out to Fulaim anyway and they immediately sent me a new set with the record problem solved. I did several 30-minute long tests and sync was frame-perfect from beginning to end. So definitely test your unit when you first get it to be sure it's working properly, but know Fulaim will cover you for this known issue.

I've recently received a Neewer CM28 and have tried to download recorded audio clips from the transmitter. I've connected the receiver to my MacBook Pro using the included data cable but, try as I might, I cannot get my MacBook Pro to recognise the Neewer. How do you access the audio recordings on the CM28?! I assumed it would just appear on my MacBook Pro as a data drive but nothing appears. I even tried ImageCapture thinking that perhaps I have to download the audio recordings via that Mac app but - again - nothing. I then tried connecting it to a PC thinking that perhaps it just didn't like Macs (mine is running Senoma) but nada. How did you access the recordings on your CM28? Please help!

@mrnardo Thank you for the question and checking out my video! Much appreciated!!! The transmitter have a USB C connector, connect this with a cable to your Mac and the transmitter will show up as a usb drive.

It can also be used to monitor the audio. Hope this helps!!! E.

@@EricJoyce24 thanks for the reply! I think I know where I've gone wrong - I've been connected the transmitter not the receiver to my Mac! So does that mean each of the two supplied transmitters has their own 4GB of storage? I assumed (wrongly) the 4G of storage was in the receiver. So if I connect the TRANSMITTER to my computer, it connects as a microphone device allowing me to record audio directly to my Mac from the receivers? That makes sense and could be useful. Thanks again! Your video has been so helpful. Really appreciate your response.

@mrbardo Yes, each Transmitter has internal storage and when connected to a computer via a USB C cable, the transmitter shows up as a USB Drive. If you have used the Transmitter record function by pressing and holding the Set button for 2 Seconds, then the recorded files will the available for download. The Receiver connects to a Camera and/or an External Audio Recorder via the standard Stereo Jack cable. I'll do this video on this topic, a brief tutorial on setup and the use of the X5/CM28 in the field. Thank you again for the comments!!! E.

@@EricJoyce24 thanks again! I've been playing with connecting the RX unit directly to my Mac. Once connected by USB, it installs itself as a microphone device on MacOS which is quite useful. You can then use something like Voice Memos on the Mac to record the audio from the transmitters directly to your Mac. The more I experiment with the CM28, the more I like it. Audio quality does seem a little flat though - what I'm getting doesn't seem quite so 'full' as other mics and lacks a bit of high end sharpness even with noise reduction switched off. Maybe I'm expecting too much from a $100 set of wireless mics lol

Thank you. And thanks for comparing it with your studio mic. That's something most reviewers fail to do but is vital! I have an X5 & love it. I've only tested the inboard recording for short sections and dont plan to use it. I have found that the audio quality is very sensitive to location of the Tx. Handheld in front of my mouth is definitely best but not very functional. Second best is under my t-shirt with the deadcat on. Much better than outside the shirt. I also have found that plugging a wired lav into the Tx is not as good as the Wired lav plugged directly into my iphone12pm.

I just don't understand why anyone would want to buy a real Shure SM7B. For the price you can get far superior condenser microphones. I own a Sennheiser MKH 416 which is a 1000 dollar mic, but I also own a Rode NT1 and a Blue Bluebird which are mics that go for the same price as an SM7B, but are far superior. Even an AKG P420, which is a bit noisy, sounds far better than an SM7B. Let's face it, the SM7B is but a dynamic microphone. Now dynamic mics do have advantages. Although they don't pick up as much detail as the condenser mics, that may be an advantage if you record in untreated rooms or in a noisy neighbourhood. But the Shure SM57 is just as good as the SM7B, yet at a third of the price.
