Made my day! Thanks for seeing a need and providing

[@RiversEdgeChurch]

Thanks Gerald just what was needed - quick tutorial. Now I am able to continue to use these wonderful mics for video!

[@loonaya]

Thanks a lot Gerald. You saved my time! I was struggling for half an hour to get them both to work simultaneously until I found your video. I had it in mono, and channel B power was off😅😂

[@sutvproductionvault1774]

Can't thank you enough. Have a wedding today and I just picked this up yesterday. 5:43 am and this video is of great help. Thanks, Tom in NYC

[@gcprost]

Be cautious, the battery indicator on my receiver lies to me. It will indicate full right up until it quits.

[@caitlinbigelow8581]

THANK YOU! I would have cried without this video.

[@codyfinney]

After three hours of troubleshooting, I found this video. Thank you, sir!

[@evanmcdermott4543]

Most Helpful video out there! Trying to read that manual was useless!

[@paulfenn940]

I too found your video extremely helpful so thanks for that. One comment, after reading some tips on recording audio such as an interview, recording in mono seems to be the way to go where the audio comes into both channels equally. This might explain why the system comes set up for recording in mono.

[@ccgtvcaldwellcountygovernm4773]

Exactly what we needed too! Thank you for this video!

[@leofiorica567]

Thank you for this video. Very informative and helped me on shooting an interview.

[@ReynaldAdolphe]

Great job. Unless I missed it, you forgot to mention choosing different channels on the transmitters but the visuals were there so no biggie. Thanks so much!

[@Zayllyaz]

Great video, all the info needed straight to the point.

[@ugege2501]

Thanks for taking the time to explain the settings, most vid on this products just blew thru it, I was like I didn't get that, until now.

[@paradisoacademy8171]

THANK YOU!!! You really saved me some headaches with this video.

[@cassjohnson6606]

Thanks, finally someone who gets it ! Didn't need another review, this is exactly what I was looking for.

[@ReynaldAdolphe]

Seriously. I don't know why companies don't provide videos instead of dumb manuals.

[@woodsonsworldedutainment8028]

Thank you for that breakdown. I needed it.

[@ericcivey]

THANKS GERALD! The perfect quick start video for this system, exactly what I needed! Too bad the instruction manual couldn't accomplish this!

[@gcprost]

Eric Ivey Thanks. I found the manual very difficult to follow too. When I figured it out, I thought that I could save people some frustration.

This is THE BEST getting started I have ever scene. I accidentally killed CH B about a year ago and have had problems. This resolved everything and I need them tomorrow !

[@gcprost]

Glad to be of some help.

thank you .you just save me troubles setting mine

[@FrankMichaelSmith]

thank you, very helpful

[@jessethelopez]

Thank you so much! It was a great help 😊

[@brettturner5299]

Great video, thank you @geraldprost. Personally I've also found that increasing the mic sensitivity from 5 to 10 has stopped the system adding auto gain which had a hissy, hot background sound when the mic picked up anything. I also have my transmitters nicely far apart in terms of channels (A on C10 and B on C20). Cheers!

[@sayididit2930]

Where do you find the sensitivity settings?

[@actorsreels1]

Great job, thanks for posting.

[@joymunee4474]

This helped so much . Thank you 🙏🏾

[@AnthonyMcLeanTV]

thanks for doing this!

[@bigskylife7107]

Thank you for this! No idea why they configure the dual kit to work as a mono setup out of the box...

[@fahad44]

thank you for showing how to set up these mics.

[@akk6638]

Super clear instructions! No bullshit.. thank you

[@sutv6754]

RIGHT ON, THANK YOU FOR GETTING ME STARTED. ONCE QUESTION IF YOU DON'T MIND...... WHEN YOU LOWER THE VOLUME FROM 27 TO 25 BECAUSE 27 IS HOT on the receiver ............. DOES THAT MEAN IT'S HITTING THE CAMERA INPUTS HOT? WHAT IT "HOT" I do notice at 27 my camera may be distorting a bit but I'm not for sure this is the problem yet. Still working it.

[@joshmchin]

Super helpful video, Thanks!

[@brianmacdonald2920]

OOOOH Man, straight to the point. How does it work? Fantastic job. Thank you for not showing us how to take it out of a box. I can't believe people are still doing that. It's like the real estate agents who say. and this is the kitchen, and over here is the dining room and this is a bedroom, "Ohh thank you for pointing that out, I never would have known! LOL

[@TomArildHansen]

Yes yes yes!!! Thank you so much!

[@BorisBecker1872]

Nice video. I followed the steps you outlined. However, while getting audio levels on the receiver (for both channels), I was only able to hear one of the channels’ audio on my headphones. I couldn’t resolve issue. Any idea as to what the problem may be?

[@sonlightmemphis]

Awesome thanks SO MUCH!

[@PaulBlanchfield]

Hi Gerald, thanks for the video. Am I correct in assuming that when you set receiver to stereo channel A/B become independent L/R channels and not mixed stereo (duel mono)?

[@gcprost]

Yes. Thanks for watching.

[@Lowlifevideo]

Thank you

[@HOAMusicTW]

Thank man this is great

[@dukabase]

Thank you very much ;)

[@gcprost]

I haven't had any problems.

[@rahalati]

Thanks, that was helpful

[@DaveSale-DKSALE]

Thankyou sir!!!

[@dennispeaks]

Is this the one? I need a dual mic and this caught my eye but I need the handheld lav version. I want to use this for public speaking and use the handheld for fielding questions. I wanted to buy Sennheiser but it is not available with dual outputs. My problem is often the venue only has one extra mic input. Does these dual mics only require one input into the source to have dual outputs? If so, I am sold.

[@gcprost]

From the receiver you get a stereo output out of the 1/8” jack. I haven’t tried it, but if you use the XLR adapter you might get both channels as a single mono channel.

[@rahalati]

I followed your instructions and every thing was okay, thanks. But do I need to record using both TR to be able to hear recorded sound on both Right and Left speakers. Is there away to hear recorded sound on both Right and Left speakers by switching only one TR

[@gcprost]

This is a feature that has to be enabled by your camera or audio recorder, as far as I know.

[@rahalati]

@@gcprost My camera is Nikon D800 and there is nothing in the settings to be done except the sensativity

[@rahalati]

@@gcprost As a follow up to this issue, I found the solution. This has nothing to do with settings in the camera, rather you I only need to set up the RX to mono instead of Stereo

[@gcprost]

rahalati Thanks for posting this. I wish I had included this in my video.

[@HarrodOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@GarryBurgess]

Yes, this did help quite a bit. The mute mic thing was still a bit confusing to me. Maybe I'll watch it all again.

[@Foodfest30]

Very nice

[@Filip_Z]

thank you very much. I didnt noitice you had to enable the b channel.

Thanks mate

[@nickmac89]

Thank You :)

[@barbone]

thanks, great!

[@LewisDixon]

For some reason the Saramonic UWmic9 has constant interference when using it, the mic seems like it disconnects and re-connects and causes static sounds when using it. What could be causing this? The channel is set up correctly, the batteries are fully charged and the distance isn't far at all. It seems very unreliable and happens some days and other days it works fine. Any suggestions?

[@gcprost]

Lewis Dixon It sounds like it could be a cable issue. Does this happen on both channels?

[@vjsurreal07]

Hello friend, I have the same problem, there is no one who helps me. Should you succeed or challenge me please.

[@vjsurreal07]

@@gcprost I already tested it with another microphone and cables and it stays the same thing. I've tried changing the frequencies too, mine has this same problem ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpSonGmfh9iAias

[@vjsurreal07]

my camera is Canon 6D

[@pk-meedia7804]

Same problem, haven't found solution. :(. Pretty much unusable kit when You cannot rely on this. I have a wedding with dropouts on sound, so, not happy. Since then i use tascam dr10 recorder with lav.

[@kutz6266]

For some reason only one lav goes. And it only goes on Group B. Not sure why the other one does not go on group A. Help. Note: I've changed tx9 around some both have been on both groups and still on Group A doesn't work. It's showing on Rx9 that a audio signal is transmitting but it's like it's on mute but it's not. Hmmmm

[@unseenotto]

I’m having trouble getting the mic to give feedback I have a lumix camera

[@escandaloshowsuiza]

perfect tank u=)

[@heritagemartialartsfitness5224]

So much help! Thank you. The manual is horrible.

[@Haitianpublic]

Anybody have issues with battery life. The receiver seems to be killing battery every 30 minutes.

[@gcprost]

I’ve had very good battery life. My issue is that the battery indicators are unreliable.

[@Haitianpublic]

Thank you, Gerald. I am going to get some Duracell battery to test. I bought some energizer batteries and they die in less than 1 hour. Could be a bad pack of batteries.

[@vjsurreal07]

With alkaline battery lasts very well, but the indicators are not reliable.

[@dandeliontv946]

So after a year.... what's the verdict? I will reserve comment until I see what you have to say.

[@johnmellor932]

Ive got the mic10 version. But ths output is really weak. I have to have it on at least 25 to even hear anything and then going into my marantz 661 the signal is piss poor. The user manual is useless, it doesn't even tell you if its line level or mic level.

[@24mjohnson]

is it line level where i can send audio from a soundboard to my camera instead of a lavalier mic or is it strictly mic level?

[@themightycorndogs]

For film, you always want your vocals in mono.

[@gcprost]

themightycorndogs With this unit you don’t really get stereo; you get two independent mono channels.

[@themightycorndogs]

@@gcprost we have this unit and that is how we have it set up for movies.

[@cesarebonazza]

Thank you, the Advil was not needed!

[@TheShabazzProduction]

The comments from other users about this thing chewing up batteries is frightening to me, to me that's a MAJOR deal breaker. Imagine going through this complex walk-through every time the batteries die. And imagine doing this in broad day-light with sun-light beaming down on the weak read out on the LCD screen. I also believe it's some type of conspiracy of people who review this system because I notice whenever a potential buyer inquires about the battery life on this system the reviewer NEVER returns a reply.

[@gcprost]

TheShabazzProduction Thanks for commenting. I’m sorry no one has got back to you about battery life. I use eneloop pro rechargeable batteries. I’m sorry that I can’t tell you how long they last because I break the out shoot the scene and put them away. I’ve had the run out of juice only once and I can tell you to be cautious of trusting the battery indicator. Once you set these up you don’t have to do it again, whether you run them dead or swap the batteries. I’m sorry I don’t have a real number on how long they last. I used the xlr adapter unit on a graduation and it ran continuously for over four hours.

[@FireMoodsMedia]

why are you reviewing audio equipment and your actual audio is very poor i dont get it.
