😂😂😂so real

[@stevemdguy]

I work as a Professional Production Sound Mixer and I noticed 2 problems with your audio setup. I understand your setup is not for professionals, but these 2 issues still apply. 1 - Having a wireless boom mic defeats the real reason for having a boom mic. The main reason for having a boom mic is to have a fail safe in case anything goes wrong with wireless mics as they often do. You want to have at least 1 guaranteed audio source to use in case things go south with the wireless sources. I strongly recommend using a wired XLR cable (typically a coiled cable for convenience). There is also an additional bonus with not using the boom as a wireless mic. This now frees up 1 of your wireless transmitters you can now use for an additional lav mic. 2 - If you use a wireless earphone monitoring system you fall prey to additional wireless issues. Additionally, you want your monitoring source to be as flawless as possible so you can identify and troubleshoot any issues you hear with the recording (the whole reason your are monitoring in the first place). This is the main reason Professional Sound Mixers always plug their earphones directly into the mixer/recorder. Since the Sound Mixer is already tethered to the mixer/recorder because of the XLR connected boom (as I outlined in #1 above), monitoring the audio with earphones directly plugged into the mixer/recorder is no problem. Also, the Sound Mixer can properly adjust the recording levels and monitor technical issues directly on the mixer/recorder as they should be doing anyway. If you still want to provide wireless audio listening to other people on the set, you can easily add an IFB system as an output from the mixer/recorder. I love your video series and watch them often. I hope this advice helps. Keep up the great work!

[@jsaycreative]

Agree 100% with this. Its nice for things that aren't that important and want/need the convenience of wireless but always have that quality wired backup. But still a pretty rad wireless solution to play with

[@mrshaheedmalik]

I agree. I understand having a transmitter to the boom, in the case of having a sound mixer in one place and a boom operator in another. But if there is only one person, it is redundant. In the case of the Wireless headphones, it is overkill for an on bag mixer. It would be cool to use if with a MixPre-3 or 6 and gave the headphones to video village. Boom Mic = straight to bag Deity Transmitter A = Lav Deity Transmitter B = Lav Headphone splitter for headphones. Headphones = Bag Mixer Rode Wireless Go Wireless Headphones = Video Village

[@lukeboelitz]

I'm with Steve on this one. When it's working properly it seems very convenient but I wouldn't recommend anyone set up their bag in this way. Adding more wireless connections is a recipe for trouble and having a whole system reliant on internal batteries is also dangerous. Sometimes people forget to charge stuff (at least I do) so being able to just buy AA batteries from any store and be up and running is super important to me.

[@stevemdguy]

I'm fine with people disregarding my advice. However, they should be aware of the following qualifiers if they choose to record the way you have outlined in the video: - You don't care about the quality of the audio and can live with all the potential issues of wireless recording paired with a wireless monitoring system. - You can live with all the potential issues of not directly monitoring the sound mixer/recorder. - You can deal with just letting the mixer/recorder keep running in 1 long, continuous take. It is not fun to edit a 'Wild Track' and sync with video in post--especially since you are not running timecode (The Mix Pre does not have TC. Plus the cameras would need TC via Lockit Box or another TC brand). Or, you should be willing to run back and forth to the mixer/recorder to start and stop each take. If the mixer/recorder is positioned right next to the camera you are shooting from, then it nullifies the reason to have a wireless boom and wireless earphones. - You are a 1 man band running everything on the shoot (lights, cameras, sound). - You are willing to operate the camera(s) at the same time you are holding the wireless boom. Again, I'm not against recording sound this way as long as everyone understands the potential downsides. :)

[@flyerhawk]

@@stevemdguy Thanks for the comment. I do have a question. I am basically doing the video and audio and lighting work for a youtube channel. As such we have a lot of stuff to monitor. The wireless headphones would really free up my actions as I know have to either be tethered to my recorder or trust that it sounds good which has screwed me. So in that situation do you have any recommendations? I got the sense that Caleb was really presenting this set up for people like me that don't have multiple people on set to monitor things.

[@aaronpk]

Love the headphone mod to get rid of the cable! And supergluing a cold shoe mount to the side! 😂👌 And thanks for linking to my video!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thank you so much for the idea man!!! You're a champ!

[@EDDY69]

@@dslrvideoshooter I'm totally going to steal this idea with my rode wireless go to watch movies at night with my sony mdr 7506 headphones instead of using a long TRS cable.

[@nourZX]

@@dslrvideoshooter correct me if I'm wrong but you are monitoring in Mono right ? or dose the rode go transmit in stereo ??

[@antone9751]

Does the wireless go transmit a stereo signal?

[@jackgentempo3630]

I saw some criticism of this idea. They suggested that having the receiver so close to your head was a bad plan because of concerns of radiation. Can anyone speak to this?

[@randomfrankp]

So what battery pack are you using to power the MixPre-3? All you have linked is a general landing page for mobile battery banks, I want to see what can last "weeks and weeks" because I need that lol

randomfrankp I used a RAVpower model. Any of those big boy USB batteries will work great. I rotate 22000mAh batteries every few weeks. Side note, love you vids man! Huge keyboard dork so I’m loving your stuff!

[@randomfrankp]

Haha nice, cool to hear! Ahhh 22,000mAh should do it, thanks for the info man!

[@The-Logician]

@@randomfrankp Make sure any battery brick you get is capable of USB-C power output. MixPre3 may not power up in full power mode on USB-A style batteries even with a dual USB-A to USB- Cable. On reduced power mode, MixPre3 will only phantom power 2 of the 3 XLR connections. Most battery bricks now can be found with USB-C PD connections.

[@DevonFlair]

Possibly the most comprehensive ‘build’ video you’ve put out - and that’s saying something!!!! You can tell just how many years of evolution has gone into this kit. It’s incredible!!! Such a neat and complete solution. Very impressive stuff.

[@superbmediacontentcreator]

Honestly having done this for many, many years now (20+) using Lectrosonics gear you are better with the receiver on the top of the headphones than on the side as after a while the weight gets fatiguing. You also do not get any phase cancelation when the transmitter winds up being between your head and the receiver. Glad you just came up with this idea, ha, ha, ha...

[@jeremypentsil6390]

Awesome set up!

[@i.amreis]

Beautifully done

[@justbeingamir8976]

A very simplified version of this would be with the Saramonic SR-VRM1 and a microphone, preferably an xlr mic. It provides phantom power so no issues there and the sound floor test for noise seems to be quite decent especially for the price. Of course you won't be able to monitor the audio unless youre standing close to the microphone since you plug the recorder straight to the mic but it reduces the point of failures drastically and makes alot of sense for people on a budget trying to get into professional setups

[@hsjawanda]

Awesome setup!
